Solutions tailored to your needs

Established in 1931 as a manufacturing shop, we have grown into an international

manufacturer of precision machine tools, transforming ideas into successful

products for more than 80 years now.

Our clear-cut focus on customer benefits and value for money,

outstanding staff in all departments and an approved good quality

management system make MAE a market leader worldwide when it

comes to straightening and assembly machines.

Our philosophy is to seek the best solution for you in every respect.

This includes expert advice, premium quality products and reliable

service. We also aim to satisfy you when we cannot use a standard

product. The range of our portfolio and our strong development

department allow us to realise special custom wishes at acceptable

expense.

Speak to us – we will gladly place the full know-how of our more than

120 employees at your disposal.

1967The S-RH series and its exact

mechanical servo controller make

it possible to replace pressure-

controlled straightening with

the considerably more accurate

stroke-controlled technology.

1959The development of manually

controlled straightening and

wheelset presses marks the start

to a systematic concentration on

the portfolios for the two niche

markets of „straightening“ and

„assembly“.

1971The first fully automatic straigh-

tening machine with electric

measuring and control technology

marks an important milestone in

the integration of straightening ope-

rations in the interlinked production

lines of the automotive industry.

1992Our patented highlight: the auto-

matic straightening machine M-AH

with the first-ever electromechanical

main drive worldwide and the PC-

based controller „RICOS“.

1950sMAE begins building machine

tools with a line of hydraulic

universal presses for a variety of

applications.

05

2003Newly designed special machines

allow automatic straightening of

complexly shaped workpieces,

e.g. for car parts, for the first

time.

2005The continuous straightening

technique for elongated workpieces

is added to our portfolio to permit

economic machining of small

series, very high precisions are

assured. 2008The innovative new generation

of wheelset presses in the RADS

series combines ease of use,

flexibility and economy.

2010Detection of run out errors

in gears by laser technology

becomes state-of-the-art in MAE

straightening machines.

2001With the ASV automatic straightening

machine for large workpieces we

open up completely new fields of

use for automatic straightening: the

moving column machine is suitable

in its current form for workpieces up

to 30 m long and straightening forces

up to 20,000 kN.

1999With its flexible feed manipulator

and PC controller, the first auto-

matic assembly press ARAD for

railway wheelsets represents a new

dimension in rationalisation and data

documentation.

Reliable quality – right from the start

Almost a quarter of our employees work in the design and development of mechanical, hy-

draulic and electrical systems and software. They form a team on whose ideas and experience

our success rests. More than 25 utility models and patents in the last 20 years are the result of

our courage to risk something new and to develop what we already have in hand further con-

tinuously. In this way we offer you innovative products with all the benefits of classical German

machine building.

As an SME we have quick decision-making processes and flat hierar-

chies. Our low staff turnover is the result of our constructive relations

with each other. In this way we keep experience in the company.

All our machines are assembled and started up in our factory. You

have the opportunity to verify that all promised performance data are

indeed reached in a preliminary acceptance inspection before ship-

ment.

Our well-staffed service department takes over support of the

machines on site after delivery in cooperation with our international

partners. Remote maintenance, quick help when problems arise,

thorough training of your personnel and support during initial start-up

of production are for us not empty promises, but daily practice and

commitment. We are also available worldwide for later modifications

as well as hardware and software updates.

Built on three pillars: our product portfolio

In the last decades we have developed increasingly from a manufacturer of standard hydraulic

presses to specialists for select niche markets.

We have won a leading position as flexible SME with innovative products in the fields of

“straightening machines”, “hydraulic presses” and “assembly machines”.

Straightening

MAE has the broadest portfolio of manual and automatically

controlled straightening machines for machining of round,

profiled and complexly shaped workpieces available

worldwide. Press forces from 15 to 25,000 kN make it

possible to straighten workpieces with lengths from

40 mm to 30 m and weights from 5 g to 20 tons.

Straightening accuracy of up to 0.01 mm is possible

without problem. Apart from the conventional

bending-straightening method, we also offer

peening-straightening for through-hardened workpie-

ces and torsion-straightening for twisted section bars.

The MAE straightening controller for the manual straightening presses in

the S-RH and P-H RH series guarantees precise and repeatable working and

does not necessitate specially trained operators. Measurement and

straightening in one setting ensures optimal cycle times.

The M-AH, ASV and ASRU series enable automatic straightening of

small, large and complexly shaped workpieces. The

software of the RICOS straightening controller is the

result of decades of experience with various applica-

tions. Innovative ideas are making the straightening

process increasingly more powerful and faster.

Various interlinking concepts allow rational continuous

operation with low manpower requirements.

Hydraulic presses

Our broad range of hydraulic standard presses in the S and DS series

with C- and O-frames as well as the four-column presses in the VS

series is based on a module system. By recombining and adapting the

individual modules, we will find an inexpensive, individually optimised

solution with press forces up to 25,000 kN for your needs as well.

Hydraulic presses are exposed to considerable stresses in daily

use. With 60 years of experience, MAE stands for especially

sturdy dimensioning of all components. Comprehensive

calculation software including the finite-element method is

a further guarantor for exceptionally strong constructions.

10

Assembly

Regardless of whether you want to assemble gear parts, rotor shafts

or wheelsets: we have suitable solutions.

The MAE machine series S and M-S with hydraulic or mechanical servo

drive are robust machines tailored to your application. The OPUS

controller with flexible software that can be extended to fulfill customer-

specific requirements guarantees control and documentation of the

assembly process.

Our horizontally acting wheelset presses in the RADS series with

forces up to 8,000 kN are the specialists for mounting and dismounting

wheelsets from railway vehicles. They stand out primarily for their

innovative underlying concept, rational interlinking systems and

extensive control functions.

After-sales serviceWe want to keep in touch with you!

We therefore offer services to keep your press operable and up-to-date over

the long term:

Service

An innovative and high-quality machine is only the basis for high

customer satisfaction. Equally important for continuous duty with high

availability are quick-response service by experienced technicians and

spare parts available ex stocks.

Thanks to optimally staffed service centres at our headquarters in

Erkrath/Germany and Beijing/China, we are able to respond quickly

worldwide. Telephonic support and remote diagnostics help us to

correct minor problems without complication.

Modifications and retrofits

MAE machines are extremely durable by tradition. To ensure you keep

in touch with the times, however, we will gladly retrofit your machine

with the latest controllers or renew the drive technology. In this way

you can improve the performance and availability of older machines.

In-company design is a core philosophy of MAE.

We therefore have all the documents necessary for unproblematic

retrofitting of automatic linkage systems or adaptation to new

workpiece geometries.

13

Software updates

We work continuously on extending and improving the control

software for our machines. In most cases the long-term continuity of

our hardware concepts guarantees the possibility of retrofitting and

keeps your machine technologically up-to-date.

Worldwide and locallyWhether SME or industrial concern – long-term customer ties stand proof of

the competence and reliability of our company.
