Loading and unloading of 3 grinding machines (sequential machining). Loading and unloading of alignment, cleaning and measuring station, basket conveyor
Workpiece weight up to 8 kg.

Italy based Mazzucconi SpA, manufactures Foundry Automation for the Automotive Industry. They were challenged with designing and manufacturing a high availability system to automate a heat treatment process line that had to operate through an unattended shift pattern. The payload is very high at 3500 Kg and the cycle time required was also tight at 60 seconds. The process required the basket of components to be placed into the Oven and then after the heating process was Read more ...

Ultraseal International, manufacture Impregnation Process lines to ensure minimal scrap of cast products due to porosity problems. They needed to automate the handling of large baskets of metal components through one of its Impregnation Process lines, comprising various process tanks. The end user site was very limited in floor space and the roof height was low, therefore limiting the type of automation that could be used. The Impregnation process involved the use of Nitric Read more ...

The design of a powerful and multifunctional machine was our goal. Welding and cutting duties can be performed either with Autogenous or Plasma technique.
The shown example offers greatest flexibility with (2) Autogenous burners, (1) Plasma burner and a working area of 2000 x 6000 mm.

In high-voltage applications welded aluminium pipes are used for gas insulated switchgear. In pressure resistant piping systems high currents are being switched under SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride) inert gas.
To prevent electric breakdown, the junctions of the gas-filled piping have to be smooth. Such a pipe consists of a cylindrical centre section with cast aluminium flanges welded on on both sides. To meet the requirements, the weldseams between centre section Read more ...

The robot arm loads the press with sometimes hot rawlings.
After the pressing procedure, the formed parts are removed from the press and palletized.

This machine was designed for cutting sheet metal or other sheets of hard material in accurate yet flexible shapes for automotive or construction industry suppliers.

A leading manufacturer of construction machinery is assembling construction machinery in Belgium for which components will also be produced locally. In the production line for piston rods for large hydraulic cylinders, aluminium palettes weighing in total of up to 1500kg have to be transported. Piston rods in various states of production are on these palettes. The palettes do not only have to be transported, but also placed in intermediate storage to assure an optimal Read more ...

Major North American Automotive Manufacturer's required automating the marriage of the body and frame assemblies. As the last stage before rolling the vehicle off the assembly line, this has very high corporate visibility relative to the bottom line. Therefore accuracy, reliability and durability were key considerations in selecting the proper equipment for the job at hand. There are currently three installations running successfully in North America automobile plants.

The Scaffolding Frames were currently manufactured on an ageing machine. The customer needed to reduce his machine downtime, reduce the production cycle time and have a machine delivered in a very short lead time.
The machine had to be extremely flexible to enable the production of a wide range of scaffolding frames

The primary purpose of this 12-Axis Resistance Welding System is to create individual structural spot welds and hermetic seam welds in a light gauge stainless steel fuel tank. The spot welds must be located within 1mm of the engineering requirements over entire 15m length of the tanks. Furthermore, the system must maintain this accuracy while reacting the high forging forces necessary to make a high quality spot weld.

The objective of this installation is to polish commercial aircraft aluminum skin panels. The quality of the process is strictly correlated to the consistency of the pressure applied by the buffing wheel over the stretch formed skin held by the supporting tool.

Position small electrical components of 0.1 mm and larger on printed circuit boards. The machine must move up to 21,000 components/hour and must be virtually vibration-free.

This robot preserves cheeses during storage. This means that the cheeses are automatically turned and washed.
The environment is very aggressive due to the high humidity and the salty air, so high-quality components are necessary. In addition, all the parts must meet the requirements of the food industry.

Fully automatic charging aid for multi-deck ovens for entirely automated baking. Charging system harmonizes perfectly with the devices for dough handling and unloading.
