WALDKIRCH. Mack is one of Waldkirch. Since 232 years. As it currently looks, Mack Rides, a world leader in manufacturing of rides for amusement parks and theme parks, it wanted to inform the CDU member of parliament Peter White in a "celebration dinner conversation" of the CDU Waldkirch. Around 30 people took up the notes of the managing director of Christian Elverfeldt around the construction hall in the wall Matt road.
What's new in Acher rail business? Previously, the walkers on Waldkircher Elzuferweg puzzled about what new attraction just now again grew over the fence of Mack'schen company grounds in the sky and finally recognizable as roller coasters-Neuhheit was. Such as the "Wild Mouse";. Wooden prototype of this was founded in 1957 Waldkirch "Today the rides occur directly in front of the computer," says CEO Christian von Elverfeldt. The calculations are in sufficient detail to enable the trains only on site - should be set up - so as in Russia, China and Australia. "Today it is no longer necessary that the master craftsman with the welder on the farm running and still pounding, there's knocking," says Elverfeldt, "at the end of the parts fit together perfectly." Still curious Waldkircher will soon have to look back a bit: The European park attraction for 2014 is built on the premises in the Wall Street Matt and then tested. It will be interesting lenses over the fence.
Now the yard is a kind of pool in XXL: It was just not the proving ground for a new ride that combines the "rotation ends coffee cups" with a water fight. With the new, 2200-square-meter workshop, which on since April 2012 this site arises and the walls have reached the first floor, the final decision was made to stay at its Waldkirch and expand it. "The new facility allows us to classic material flow: the front inside the pipes behind the finished product out," von Elverfeldt. That is a huge cost savings compared to previously. Currently, the material is for the individual, successive steps in different places in the yard and in the hall, too much time is lost, it will look and gather. After the hall in the next step, the production capacity can be increased. "If a customer requests a rollercoaster, he does not want to wait two years," said Elverfeldt. Paradoxically, both the economic recovery of emerging markets lead as the recession in the euro zone to more demand. The one who suddenly more money, others less, but want to experience what the holidays anyway. Both can use Mack Rides, the industry is relatively recession-proof. intermediate design plans and rails increase the CDU members, councilors and councils around in the hall. Further along the hall is also welded at 18 clock yet - the day here has three layers. May photograph you do not, the fear is big business spies. What to see the competition is not to have the details of the zero level process that engineers have developed: At each manufacturing process are at "ground zero", ie on the hall floor, steel planks, where brackets are attached to the bar tubes, in any amount, angular position and multiple axial directions can be adjusted. A laser tracker system, the measurement points are on the tracks recorded in seconds and determines if its position coincides with the target in the virtual computer. Even the smallest minute deviation can be corrected immediately. "Some people might know yet how to increase earlier with slight neck pain from the Acher train," recalls of Elverfeldt. Already inched deviations from the plan may in fact lead to significant joggers at the points of the train, where rails are interlocked. Due to the parallel virtual reality that it creates in the computer, which guarantees zero plane methods that every little deviation from the target without much effort will be immediately visible. Mack Rides This saves nearly half the time, which was formerly used for the manufacture of rail. Some work outsourced from Mack Rides - with the paint shop about a former employee became independent. Alongside the tracks, the heart of a car and the fiberglass technology is and will remain a specialty known as theming, so the design of the cars according to customer.
