1956 – 1965 – Reisen Sie mit uns durch 75 Jahre RÜBIG Firmengeschichte

RÜBIG war schon immer seiner Zeit voraus

RUBIG has always been ahead of its time

with ‘women in technology’ as well.

Toolmaking and a drop forge

are inextricably linked. The latest technology was used even in the tooling machines – this picture shows a planing machine.

The production of flat link chains

is at that time still in its early stages. But even then the chain links have the typical RUBIG shape. The crane, as well as the oil tank still exist today and, what’s more, they’re still in the same place!

The board drop hammer

uses the energy (ram weight x height of fall) produced by the fall of the ram (as the hammer is called) for forging in the die. The ram is pulled back up by a lever mechanism. Investment in several forging hammers allows more flexibility in production and is necessary to meet high demand.

Even in the 1950s

importance was attached to efficient production lines when extending the plant, although of course this bears no comparison to the high levels of automation nowadays.

The company’s new site

at 21 Schulstrasse – before and after conversion. Even then the family lent a hand. They managed to lay a new access road over the course of a single weekend.
