“What we don't have, we'll be happy to invent for you!” is a sloppy advertising slogan that hardly anyone will take seriously. But there's one company you can take at their word: Waldmann. The Engineer of Light really does find the right luminaire for every requirement. Even if a brand-new luminaire has to be developed at short notice. This was the case for the mechanical engineering company MAG Hüller Hille in Mosbach. Waldmann and MAG Hüller Hille have been a good team for a long time. The horizontal machining centers that are marketed as NBH are traditionally equipped with Waldmann lighting solutions. Machines are getting compacter and the areas for the adaption of luminaires are getting smaller. More compact machines minimize the procurement and operating costs. But this means that there are only minimal areas for the adaption of machine luminaires. On the other hand, there is EN 1837, which defines the average illuminance in the processing area as at least 500 lx. Very little space for light and still high luminous power, which is precisely where lighting suppliers who focus on standard products reach their limits. Waldmann pursues a strict solution-oriented approach, known as TWIN C. TWIN-C is based on an in-depth knowledge of lighting engineering: The ideal light combination – for perfect lighting in the right place. In the machine room, the best illumination can often be achieved with two separate light sources, such as area and spot lighting. During the development of the new compact MAG machine NBV 400, Waldmann was involved early in the project's planning phase. This enabled the Waldmann lighting engineers to enjoy a creative and synergistic cooperation with MAG Hüller Hille and subsequently present an unmistakably flawless product. CAD data of the machine room were the basis of the lighting design. Waldmann simulated lighting solutions with various components and illuminances – both in the machine room and directly in the processing area. The combination of two Waldmann FLAT TEC 24-watt (area light) each with 2 x 6-watt LEDs provided a convincing 995 lx medium illuminance. The problem: The limited spaces did not enable a separate adaption of the luminaires. The solution: Waldmann integrated both lighting technologies (T16 Anmerkung: bei der Tycoon T5 sprechen wir von T5, hier von T16. Sollte n.m.E. einheitlich sein lamp and LED) in one housing with a very flat design. FLAT TEC HYBRID. Area and spot lighting in one unit. A 24-watt T16 oder T5 (s.o.) fluorescent tube with a 16 mm diameter provides wide-range illumination of the machine room. The T16 (s.o.) generates much higher luminous fluxes than standard 26-millimeter lamps. As a result, it combines a high efficiency with low energy consumption. With the 3D conical prismatic screen, glare-free light is evenly distributed throughout the machine room. The two six-watt LEDs are specifically positioned for the illumination of the processing area. The 40° angle lens focuses the light precisely on the processing area. Both types of lights can be operated together or separately regardless of the respective lighting needs. The TWIN-C solution for MAG Hüller Hille's new NBV 400 consists of two FLAT TEC HYBRID. The luminaires are almost flatly integrated in the left and right machine wall. Conclusion: Waldmann has justifiably made a name for itself on the market as the “Engineer of Light”. With a focus on customized developments, they rank among the key players in the lighting sector. |
