We rely on communication in project management
Communication is the key to success. We at MTE also work according to this motto. Communication between the customer and MTE employees is essential, especially in project management. This is the only way we know what you need – and can build the right Bed type milling machine / machines for you.
What exactly should your machine do? How should it fit into your existing machinery? Which features are a must – what would you like as an extra? What are the conditions on site – which MTE is the perfect fit? These and other detailed questions need to be clarified at the start of our joint project. To this end, we work in five phases during project management.
Still not sure whether MTE is the right partner for you?
Phase 1: Project discussions
In the first phase, we first get an idea of the conditions at your site. After all, we need to know the general conditions so that your MTE functions optimally from day one. To do this, we first measure the site precisely. This enables us to define the necessary connection points. At the same time, this gives us an overview of the preparatory measures that we and you still have to plan. Based on this, we then draw up a schedule and define the specific steps for the day of delivery and installation of your MTE.

Phase 2: Layout creation
Once we have gathered all the important information in the project discussions, we can move on to the layout phase. Our project manager compares the details obtained with the machine’s design data and creates a 2D layout on this basis. You then have the opportunity to inspect the first layout. Only when you are satisfied with the design do we produce a realistic 3D representation. The final installation site is then integrated with all the conditions. At the same time, we can create the layouts for the machine and the plans for the foundations, forces and empty conduits.

Phase 3: Foundation meeting
Stability and long-term precision guarantee success when working with Bed type milling machines / machines. The right foundation is crucial. We therefore devote particular care to its planning. After discussing the exact location and different levels of the foundation with the customer, we create a machine layout tailored to the foundation requirements. This machine layout is the basis for the construction company/structural engineer to create a formwork and reinforcement plan. We are in close contact with the relevant departments during the creation process in order to provide advice during execution and to be available for any queries. The final responsibility for the execution of the foundation lies with the customer. Before delivery of the machine, the foundation is checked for dimensional accuracy together with the customer.
Phase 4: Installation
To ensure that everything runs smoothly during installation, we draw up a detailed installation plan with a schedule in advance. Our experienced and well-trained technicians can use this as a guide when installing your MTE on site. The installation process is monitored by the project manager. The progress of the installation is discussed at regular meetings of the department heads in order to be able to react across departments if necessary. Furthermore, the construction sites are visited by the project manager and/or the salesperson at regular intervals or as required.
Phase 5: Commissioning and final acceptance
Once the machine has been successfully installed in your company, our employees then carry out commissioning and final acceptance. This includes the corresponding geometric measurements based on the geometry measurement protocol, a circularity test and laser measurement in all axes. We usually carry out the latter at the MTE plant. However, depending on the machine type, this can also be carried out on your premises.
