TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Always there for you – via a hotline, online or on site

Machine downtimes are expensive and have to be fixed as quickly as possible. The service hotline is the first place to go for quick and competent support. You will talk to a specialist who can help right away or pass your inquiry on to a service technician. They will access the operating system or the machine controller and, if necessary, consult with additional experts. Together with your employees at the system, this allows us to fix two-thirds of all problems right away.

If the problem can only be fixed on site, we will immediately schedule a service appointment. We will first order any required spare parts and schedule the repair appointment so that your production will be affected as little as possible. The service appointments are coordinated by the headquarters in Pfalzgrafenweiler or one of our service locations around the world. The international service network of the Uhlmann Group will also be involved.
