häwa GmbH takes over X-frame operations from Jettingen Systems. Up to this point, häwa was an offical X-frame partner and European manufacturer of X-frame components. The takeover strengthens häwa’s functional individual cabinet systems concept. The X-frame system is integrated into the existing distribution network, and a separate häwa team with new employees is set up to support this purpose.
For a seamless transition of the X-frame Systems into häwa’s portfolio, it is envisaged that the staff of X-frame Systems continue to work until the end of 2011 on behalf of häwa for X-frame Systems and then transfer to other areas of the former business partner. Managing director of X-frame Systems Mr. Klaus Wurmhöringer says that “This is the best solution for both sides and enables a perfect integration of X-frame Systems with häwa. I am elated that the integration into the production can grow under the umbrella of häwa, as the variable frame systems is ideally suited to the individual cabinet and enclosure configurations of häwa.’
“We are very happy that the take-over of X-frame Systems went this smoothly’’, said Mr. Markus Jung, CEO of häwa. “We are convinced that the variable frame system of Xframe is an ideal compliment to our existing product portfolio. The integration of X-frame against the background of our existing sustainable development, that cabinets must be machine integratable, has become increasingly important’’ added Mr Jung.
X-frame is a variable frame system with a modular design principle, for creating equipment racks and enclosures of various designs. It combines the flexibility of aluminium profiles with standarized modules. Out of a few individual components a complex machine frame can be assembled within a short time.
The X-frame housing module components are manufactured from sturdy sheet steel and enables the optimum implementation of various customer appplications with a professional appearance - even with singular order quantities. Accessories of many profile manufacturers are easily connected to the X-frame components, providing customers with a wide selection of accessories for different applications.
Generally the X-frame systems is used as modular single cells for linear or rotary applications. As a single cell, the X-frame system provides a flexible cost-effective standard solution that is easily extendable with excisting components. For the construction of linear applications, X-frame components can be lined-assembled as single- or double elements. For rotary applications, the X-frame can be assembled to create square, rectangular, 6- and 8-angular applications.
