How do you reduce costs in the machine tool, for example?

People often look for ways to reduce the cost of a machine tool. Of course there should be no loss of service life. The large chains of the X, Y and Z axes were then already discussed in detail with a colleague and the most favourable solution that works was selected.

But there is also savings potential on a small scale. Wherever there are only a few cables. For example, for a height-adjustable sensor or a small axis in a machine bed. In addition to a price advantage of up to 40%, the assembly time can also be greatly reduced.

The comparison shows that in many applications nothing stands in the way of cost savings:
