Unisign: Robust, reliable and user-friendly: the UNIPORT6000

AMA Anlagen- und Maschinenbau Amberg GmbH is a contract manufacturing firm with expertise in CNC machining and steel fabrication, operating across two locations. The main facility in Amberg, Germany specializes in CNC machining intricate cast components and welded structures, while the second site in Tachov, Czech Republic, focuses on producing complex welded constructions and customized pipelines.

“Our activities cover a number of areas,” explained Andreas Bauriedl (the company’s Managing Director in Amberg). “First of all, there are our conventional mechanical engineering activities, which have always been there. In addition, we supply components for railway vehicles, such as assemblies for trains and carriages. We also carry out work for energy technology companies.”

Portal milling machine

“In Amberg, we can machine large components of up to 40 tonnes and up to 14 metres long,” said Andreas Bauriedl. “Our range of machinery also includes a UNIPORT7 and a UNIPORT4000 from Unisign. In 2022, we asked ourselves what we could do to enhance our range of machinery most effectively. What we wanted most of all was a portal milling machine, as we have now become genuinely enthusiastic about that type of machine. The main reason for that is because using machines of that type means you can approach a workpiece from five sides. Thanks to our positive experiences with Unisign, we decided to buy a UNIPORT6000, which is a robust and user-friendly machine.”

User-friendliness

Andreas Bauriedl: “When purchasing the UNIPORT6000, we didn’t actually have any special requirements in particular. What we had in mind was a standard machine with a machining head comparable to the one on the UNIPORT7. Our UNIPORT6000 is a relatively uncomplicated machine. Our colleagues, who are familiar with operating and programming the UNIPORT7, were also able to use their knowledge and experience on this new machine straight away. That too was one of the reasons for choosing Unisign once again. Several different manufacturers offer portal milling machines, of course, but our longstanding partnership with Unisign was the key reason behind our decision to purchase the UNIPORT6000. Its ease of operation was very important to us. My colleagues enjoy working with the Unisign machines.”
