Production press line uFlex

for the automotive industryautomaticcustom-made

The ultra-flexible press automation uFlex meets your requirements through tailored solutions combining our systems with customised added functions. Front of Line systems with blank carts on the Strothmann RoundTrack system, spreading units, conveyor systems and destacking gantries are just as much part of our portfolio as traversing feeders in different sizes for press loading and unloading. The modular structure of the automation and software makes it possible to implement a wide variety of operating modes and also permits scaling and expansion at a later point. Moreover, the OpenLoop software offers offline programming and 3D simulations to maximise the performance of your ultra-flexible system. Carriage on a RoundTrack system for feeding and discharging blank stacks in the Front of Line area for different weight classes and configurations depending on the system and customer’s requirements. Equipped with different added functions such as lifting tables, spreading magnets and part presence checks. Spreading magnets are used to separate blanks. Both manual solutions with pantograph arms or units that can be moved in slots and automatically adjustable systems are available. Stationary air blades integrated in the tooling are used for non-ferromagnetic blanks. Our systems can also be equipped with conveyor belts for the material supply in the Front of Line or the material discharge in the End of Line. A variety of designs as belt or strand conveyor with additional functions such as height and length adjustment are possible.
