THE WORLD OF SLIDES BY REFLECTA
PRODUCTION
The latest manufacturing methods are used to
produce slide projectors which live up to the quality
standards set by the reflecta brand.
The high requirements in the quality of our slide
projectors with even more effective production
led our company to introduce the latest manufac-
turing methods for the production of our projec-
tors.
So far, several persons assembled slide
projectors on assembly lines. This type of manu-
facturing was very intensive in human resour-
ces and revealed certain weaknesses regarding
quality.
This is the reason why our projectors have
been mounted on assembly tables since 2000.
On a rotating assembly table, the same person
builds ten complete slide projectors in a single
workflow. The tables are designed in a way that
all required parts and tools are within direct
reach. The first functional check is also carried
out at this table, and the employees identify
”their“ products with a corresponding coding.
This type of manufacturing provides for a signifi-
cantly larger identification of our employees with
the units they produce. This, in turns, leads to
greater work fulfilment, higher efficiency and
better quality. In a separate final check, all slide
projectors are tested for all functions immedia-
tely after their completion. This allows for an
immediate feedback to manufacturing where
necessary. This method helped to reduce the
margin of error to a minimum.
Every year, thousands of slide projectors
”Made in Germany“ leave our premises.
