“ Sheet metal manufacturers can now realize their potential through full optimisation of robotic cells and the widest range of modular solutions for automated systems, all from one partner. We keep the focus on the specific needs of each business. Our new internal‘ Robotics Integration Unit’ unlocks the countless combination opportunities of the most comprehensive range of sheet metal technologies, from advanced robotic cells to Flexible Manufacturing Systems, streamlining the entire production flow. Benefits include greater productivity, more flexible and compact layouts, smarter handling and logistics or a wiser use of workers’ time,” said the sheet metal specialist.
“ By seamlessly combining anthropomorphic industrial robots with a wide range of technologies into robotic cells or complete flexible manufacturing systems, our solutions optimise every stage of production while ensuring a compact, scalable and high-performance system design. Our in-house Robotics Integration Unit specialises in creating process-oriented solutions that simplify and optimise production flow, enabling manufacturers to streamline production flow, reduce cycle times and improve overall output. Our robotics integration solutions offer
extreme versatility, handling a wide range of materials and thicknesses. With their modular framework, these solutions are easily customisable and scalable, ensuring that they adapt to the evolving needs of businesses across various sectors and sizes, unlocking their full productive potential,” explained Prima Power.
Robotics integration competencies are particularly pivotal to Flexible Manufacturing Systems, where scalable sets of modular elements offer businesses an array of decisive growth opportunities.
