Our production

Double production power for leveling and deburring machines.

Growth needs space. That is why ARKU has started up a second plant in Bühl, 15 kilometers from the main site in Haueneberstein. All deburring machines and the smaller models of the straightening machines are now produced there. The 3,000 square meters of new space give us additional possibilities: For sophisticated series production, for improved warehousing and for faster delivery of machines, spare and wear parts. An optimized material flow and consistent lean processes make it possible.

Discover the advantages of our new production plant in Bühl:

  • More storage space for the ARKU Online Shop
  • Faster delivery times
  • Higher order capacity
  • Less waiting time in case of problems in the supply chain due to larger material stock

Network panel optimization for Industry 4.0

Network panel optimization for Industry 4.0

Everything in one process: when machines, sensors and people communicate perfectly. We implement the ideal processes for your production.

As an example of this goal, ARKU recently presented a production line consisting of the EdgeBreaker® 2000 for double-sided deburring and rounding, linked with the FlatMaster® 55 80 precision leveler and the FlatJack® for exact parts flatness testing. Using robots instead of operators, all of the panel optimization steps are carried out fully automatically. This guarantees rapid and efficient production.
