Scania – where machine tool maintenance is an investment, not a cost!

Dynamate AB, the plant maintenance company for world leading truck manufacturer Scania, has implemented one of the most comprehensive and well-structured maintenance strategies in it's industry. At the heart of this programme is Renishaw's QC10 ballbar system, used to monitor the performance of over 500 large CNC machine tools.
 The radical changes Dynamate has introduced at Scania's Södertälje manufacturing plant near Stockholm have proven their worth, with massive improvements in machine accuracy and considerable increases in the capability of machines to produce accurate parts. Central to this is recognition of the importance of regularly monitoring machine performance over time within a standardised test procedure.
Scania is very keen to produce as many components as possible "in-house", the Södertälje engine plant supplying assembly operations in Sweden, Netherlands, France, Brazil and Argentina.
