High availability of spare parts from Langzauner – downtime is not an option
How does Langzauner guarantee the long-term availability of spare parts?
In the industrial sector, every minute counts. To avoid production downtimes, you need a partner who not only procures spare parts, but has them ready to go – and ideally immediately. Langzauner has exceptional vertical integration, a sophisticated storage strategy, and a clear focus on maximum system availability.
Langzauner is a specialist for hydraulic presses based in Lambrechten in Upper Austria and has consistently pursued a philosophy of availability without compromise for years. The philosophy applies to mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic components – even for older systems.
What makes the supply of spare parts at Langzauner so special?
- In-house cylinder production & vertical integration: Instead of relying on convoluted supply chains, Langzauner directly produces key mechanical and hydraulic components (such as cylinders) in-house. This avoids external dependencies and means that customers benefit from extremely fast response times, even for complex system components.
- Large spare parts warehouse right on site: The spare parts warehouse already saw huge expansion during the coronavirus pandemic – and that high standard has been maintained. Today, customers around the world benefit from the broad range at the depot in Lambrechten with components for current and older series.
- 24-hour availability, working with partners: Langzauner does particularly well when it comes to control technology, thanks to its close partnership with suppliers and control system manufacturers. This makes deliveries within 24 hours possible – an important backup for our industrial customers with high production capacity utilization rates.
Relevant components for systems to run smoothly
- Hydraulic & mechanical systems: High levels of in-house production guarantee rapid availability – including for special solutions.
- Electronics & sensors: Langzauner has components from older series in storage, including rare displays and control modules.
- Control & drive systems: Particular priority is placed on these systems – with research into equivalent replacement solutions where original parts are no longer available.
What is the process for replacing defective components efficiently?
Langzauner thinks in cycles – ecological and economic.
- Customers get a spare part from stock immediately, if necessary.
- For older components, the defective part is returned to the manufacturer for repair.
- Once successfully refurbished, it is available again in Langzauner’s inventory.
This means that older systems can also be maintained across generations – a genuine long-term partnership, which is hugely important when it comes to durable, high-end presses.
Spare parts availability in practice
How does Langzauner help specifically when it comes to identifying spare parts?
- Technical support via remote maintenance
If it is not clear what part is affected, Langzauner supports customer maintenance teams with digital diagnostics tools and experienced remote error analysis. - Custom installation instructions & on-site service
Langzauner provides practical information for every spare part – with direct support from a service engineer, if necessary.
How does spare parts logistics work – internationally as well?
- Optional shipment tracking
- Full processing, including customs, for customers in third countries
- Direct cooperation with key suppliers for 24-hour service
This level of flexibility also makes Langzauner a strategically valued partner for international system operators when it comes to spare parts logistics.
How are you integrated as a customer into the spare parts strategy?
Langzauner provides a specific spare parts list with recommendations for local stock for each new system. Based on the list, a decision is made with the customer about which critical components should be stored on site, adapted to:
- expected wear cycles;
- delivery times from the central warehouse;
- the customer’s production schedules.
The result – fewer surprises, more control.
How is it possible to fit the spare parts strategy into modern maintenance?
Langzauner actively supports predictive maintenance concepts. We make it possible to set up interfaces with customer monitoring systems, which trigger an automatic order if limit values are exceeded. This can significantly reduce unplanned system downtimes and make spare parts management an integral part of a smart system strategy.
Langzauner for system availability without compromise
Langzauner thinks not only in terms of products, but life cycles too – and creates definite added value with sophisticated spare parts availability. Customers from Europe and all over the world value such reliability, which goes far beyond standard solutions.
Langzauner delivers – quickly, reliably, at the cutting edge. Spare parts availability is not a service module at Langzauner, but a core area of expertise.
