In the manufacturing industry, it is especially important that the machinery is adequate for high-quality, fast and efficient production - today, but also in the future. An investment must also provide the necessary return in the long term. The advice of a specialist certainly comes in handy. For years, Bendertechniek from Hamont-Achel has specialized in the sale of machining machines and the necessary accessories, but also helps companies take the step towards the automation of their production lines. The family business also invests heavily in service and maintenance.
Bendertechniek has been operating as a machine tool dealer from the Dutch town of Veenendaal since 1966, and opened its Belgian branch in Hamont-Achel in 2015. The family business supplies high-quality turning, milling, boring and grinding machines with controls from Fanuc, Heidenhain, Fagor and Siemens for the machining metal and plastics processing industry. Increasingly, fully automated multitasking machining centers are also being offered. For example, there is the Matsuura machining center with pallet loading, on which multiple operations can be performed. Muratec lathes with two and three turrets and gantry loading and unloading are also part of the range. Furthermore, there are lathes with a milling device, milling centers with turning functionality, and turning and milling machines on which grinding can also be performed. These are just a few possibilities.
"Our offering includes solutions from renowned international brands, including Matsuura, Hwacheon, Muratec, Geminis, GMTC, Zayer, Lagun, Kao Ming, Colchester, Averex, YCM, Juaristi and GER. With these manufacturers we have established a long-standing relationship. In fact, we have been working with some of them for more than fifty years. We therefore have a lot of experience and can therefore offer a suitable customized machine for almost every application and situation," says Patrick Vaessen, responsible for sales in Belgium. "With David and Maurits Bender, the third generation has been active in the company for some time, first in the Netherlands, but since July of this year also on the Belgian market. The strengthening of the cooperation between the Netherlands and Belgium naturally offers advantages for our customers: the expertise of fifty employees, a larger machine stock, stock of spare parts, and even better service. After all, we also have an extensive service department. Our technicians are responsible for installation and maintenance of machine fleets. They also help with breakdowns, repairs and spare parts delivery. In any case, with the input of the third generation, in addition to strengthening the market position, the emphasis is increasingly on the total unburdening of machining companies."
Bendertechniek supplies machines, but also all kinds of other things to meet the customers' needs: laser systems for fracture detection, tool length measurement, milling and boring heads for specific applications, cooling water filtration systems for higher machining quality... Like other machine suppliers, in Veenendaal and Hamont-Achel they are also increasingly getting the demand for automation systems to improve production and make it run as efficiently as possible.
"Automation is, next to digitalization, one of the most important topics in our society. More and more companies are therefore taking the step to sometimes far-reaching automation of their production processes. It helps them to keep everything on track during busy times, to be able to deliver orders on time, and at any time - calm or hectic - to keep costs as low as possible and to increase efficiency and productivity substantially," Vaessen points out. "By continuously improving and expanding the software, production is becoming more 24/7. By loading and unloading the machines know more spindle hours and can even produce unmanned. In recent years, we have successfully completed a variety of automation projects. This has included cooperation with BMO, Cellro, Erowa, Fastems, HalterCNC, RoboJob, Romias, among others... In the process, we have developed interfaces for linking various machine brands."
