Decisive was the fact that the roof of the workshop and a portal milling machine that measures 7.80 metres in height, without distance. The innovative design of the Demag V-type crane, which is based on bionic principles, enables with the girder geometry for the

bay already played a valuable role during the assembly of the portal milling machine, which took several months”, says Peitz. “Following the start of production, they are to be used for transporting heavy parts for the machine tools.” VCM of V-type cranes: on average, they weigh some 17 per cent less than comparable cranes that have box- section girders. “That enables us to move heavier workpieces with spreaders”, explains Peitz. “In addition, the cranes are designed
