Robot automation increases flexibility in sheet metal fabrication lines

We would like to invite you to participate in the Pivatic Open House event between October 31st to November 1st, 2023. We will have three production lines/machines on display. The main themes for the event are: Coil punching and shearing line with stacking, Multitool Profile/Panel Bender, Pivatic software solutions. Pivatic will pay for the accommodation, food & beverages during the days. The flights and local travel from and back to the airport will be your responsibility.

Pivatic signed a supply contract in 2022 for a sheet metal coil processing line with a Norwegian
company that manufactures hot water boiler tanks. This article describes the delivery project in question from the customer’s manufacturing and product technology applications point of view. The information in the article has been gathered from the customer interview. The interviews were conducted in April 2023 at the Pivatic factory during the customer’s line FAT approval.

We are thrilled to announce our participation in the upcoming FABTECH Chicago 2023, the premier event in metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing, taking place from September 11-14th. There are cutting-edge solutions from over 1,500 world-class suppliers, all under one roof. Explore innovative technologies that boost productivity and drive profits. Network with experts, share knowledge, and stay tuned of industry trends.

We will be exhibiting together with Ursviken Technology at Booth A2937. Our sales team is ready to introduce new Pivatic innovations and new strategic partnerships, as well as our energy-efficient servo-electric solutions.

Schneider Electric is a global company specialist in Energy Management and Digital Automation head-quartered in France. At its production site in Capellades near Barcelona in Spain, Schneider Electric manufactures electrical cabinets and distribution enclosures on highly automated equipment. A poster hanging in front of a combined punching and bending line already proves that automation is worth it. This sheet metal processing line integrates punching modules from Pivatic and a panel bender from RAS. Schneider Electric figures the increase in efficiency due to this line at 410%.

M.C.I. Metalldecken is a specialist when it comes to manufacturing metal ceilings and functional ceilings. They supply high-quality products, such as rectangular metal panels for climate-control ceilings, fire-protection ceilings, and cleanroom ceilings.

The company invested in a PivaPunch PCB160-e line that was integrated after a coil perforating and cutting line. The perforated sheets are punched to complete parts with the PCB using Thick Turret tooling (stationery and indexing), and if several parts are nested on the sheets, they are cut separately with a shear. The finished ceiling panels are marked with an InkJet printer and discharged to the side for measurement via a suction cup device or fed directly to the follow-up process.
