Hoffmann Group supports customers from a - z with their automation issues

Hoffmann Group focuses with a wide range of products and services on machining, clamping technology, measuring technology, grinding and cutting technology, business equipment and personal protective equipment. At Machineering 2025, many aspects come together in the support the company offers in the area of automation. Special "tours" will be organized at the booth for all interested parties. 

Automating machine tools requires a different way of thinking than is required for conventional manufacturing. For all steps in an automated process, Hoffmann Group offers tools and solutions that are customized for the customer.

From inspection and presetting to finished product

Kyani Vullings has been working as a process specialist for four years and knows, "Process control is crucial for efficient operations. Automation can play a distinctive role in this. We support our clients in setting up a solid automation that is as comprehensive as the client desires. We start with the ERP system and streamline the processes towards control, CAM, programming, tool management, tool presetting and automatic loading and unloading of the machine with workpieces or fixtures containing a workpiece. All the way to the final product. Because every customer and production process is different, we think along from a to z about the right solutions for each sub-process."

Some highlights from Hoffmann Group's program that support this are measuring instruments, presetting devices, clamping and clamping systems, and software with which the desired tool can be easily assembled in 3D (tool assembler). 

Connected Manufacturing

All solutions and systems eventually come together in Connected Manufacturing. This software was developed for transparent tool management, more efficient production processes and higher productivity. For example, drawings and programs are easily assigned to the right machine and tools can be optimally prepared. Machine operators thus work faster and with fewer errors and can also view all aspects of the associated orders. The total leads to significant cost savings and increased job satisfaction. Ruben Weets is an application specialist in the field of turning and milling and says: "With Connected Manufacturing it is easy to determine where the relevant tool is located, for example, and that proves to save a lot of time in practice. Moreover, the software not only stores all tools - with their location - but also measuring instruments or PPE, for example. Completely product and brand independent. The Garant Tool24 article allocation system stores articles in an orderly manner and guarantees the ordering process."  

New: Turntable

As a novelty, Hoffmann Group is showing the Garant Automation Turntable loading system for clamping tools. A space-saving and simple solution to automate machine tools and thus increase production without increasing the pressure on employees. This system requires no automation interface, no automatic door and no knowledge of robot programming either. It is also suitable for both existing and new machines and can be installed and commissioned within a week. 

Crucial step in operations

Vullings concludes: "To be able to keep up with the competition, automation is a crucial step in business management. With the current solutions this is often not higher mathematics, but the right choices in hardware and software and its implementation requires some knowledge and experience. This is how we support our customers, from A to Z and tailored to the specific production processes. At Machineering 2025
we the full process through a "tour" of the booth. Of course, everyone is welcome to visit the booth for this but advance registration is recommended."
