Machinery moving and installation: a specialized and caring work
Riggers Group will show solutions for machinery and peripherals specialized moving and installation for the metalworking industry at FABTECH Mexico.
FABTECH México is the leading metalworking industry show and strongly influences the automotive, appliances, and machinery manufacturing sectors. This show shows the latest trends in stamping, pressing, manufacturing, welding, finishing, and, especially, technological advances. Along with the evolution of equipment, such as the incorporation of robotics and servo motors, it is essential to handle and install machinery properly.
Riggers Group is a Mexican leader company providing services for the industry, mainly in relocating industrial plants from abroad to Mexico, as well as installing machinery, layout movements, rigging (heavy maneuvers in small spaces), and electromechanical installations, among others.
With extensive knowledge in the assembly of presses and their peripheral accessories, they have worked with practically all brands. They have equipment for all rigging, unloading, unpacking, and body of the media and interconnections, leaving everything ready for the machine technician to set up.
Héctor Torres, Vice President at Riggers Group, assures that its offer of services is extensive: “We can leave the machine practically ready for the technician to do the programming of the PLCs or CNC to start the machine, which includes electromechanical installations and civil works such as foundations and pits.”
More than moving
Many companies that only offer crane services to move heavy equipment or components outside the halls, Riggers Group, has a more excellent knowledge of assembling the pieces, putting them in the halls, and making the assemblies in adverse space conditions for the community, such as small spaces, short heights or installations next to nearby production lines. In addition, they use specialized equipment for this type of work.
The incorrect handling and installation of metalworking machinery can have serious consequences, both for the machinery and the personnel working with it. The risks are diverse, but one of the most frequent is the one related to accidents at work.
Incorrect installation can lead to unwanted vibrations, noises, and movements, to name a few. In addition, poor installation can affect the accuracy and quality of the work done by the machinery, which in turn can impact the final product’s quality.
High-precision movement
With new equipment and technologies advent of such as water or laser cutting processes, it is essential to have a more careful and specialized installation. Héctor Torres explains: “The cutting processes are no longer by gas, but by water or laser, which minimizes the properties of the materials. They are also highly automated advances requiring a more careful and specialized installation.”
FABTECH Mexico represents an excellent opportunity to keep abreast of the latest trends and technological advances in the sector, including machinery and peripheral equipment. In the same way, it is the ideal forum to know in greater depth the scope of services such as rigging and its effect on the useful life of the machinery and operational efficiency once the machinery is in its production stage. Riggers Group will be present at FABTECH 2023 to show the audience (including exhibitors) detailed information on machinery handling and installation solutions. Héctor Torres points out that “the industry is moving. Right now, there is a boom of manufacturing projects in Mexico, and Riggers is a thermometer of this development and a vital ally to start the operation with firm ground.”
