About Rinke Maschinenbau
Christoph Rinke Maschinenbau has specialized in retrofit, repair and modernization of machine tools and special systems since 1998. Its range of services extends from the repair of individual components to complete overhauls of complex systems – regardless of machine type and manufacturer, including boring machines, turning, milling, grinding and gear-cutting machines as well as special-purpose machines. This includes modern drive and control technology including control cabinet construction (e.g. Siemens 840D), damage analysis and assessment as well as consulting for conversions and new purchases of large machines. The company works with modern metrology, among other things for geometry measurement, and offers service for machine tools and systems worldwide. Examples include the modernization of a Dörries vertical lathe VCE 1600 with tool changer, new machine enclosure and circulating-air extraction, as well as the renewal of the table bearing including lubrication. The company is based in Wuppertal.
