Introduction

A manufacturer of insulation material is producing Styrofoam on milling machines including conveyor systems. Maintenance is carried out with standard tools. The company required an investigation about the practices on the assembly and disassembly of the rolling bearings. The NSK Mounting and Dismounting tools together with hands-on training was delivered resulting in significant higher efficiency on the maintenance activities.
