In 2021 we delivered a brand new 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 to Volkswagen Autoeuropa for its factory in Palmela, Portugal, the home of the T-Roc.
The carmaker was looking for significant improvements in efficiency and production capacity, so their priority was to incorporate highly productive equipment capable of handling different production demands. Therefore, the new blanking line was to be characterized by its versatility to adapt to different types of products and ensure efficient production.
So, we designed and delivered a 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 that has the ability to process ordinary steel and high strength steels (HSS), thus being prepared to address the challenges posed by regulations and new mobility trends, such as the need to lighten the weight of vehicles and thus reduce their emissions.
In order to adequately process these materials, the blanking line is equipped with a 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝟮 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝘀 to achieve maximum flatness in different thicknesses and belt hardness.
Plus, the line is equipped with the latest automations, from the loading of the coil at the line infeed to the output of the part bundles at the end, so that it 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, offering maximum efficiency and productivity with minimum production downtime and significantly reducing risks for the operators.
An interesting technical detail of the line is the stacker, a key issue in the automotive industry. In this line It is a 𝟮-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿. It has longitudinal and transverse forks and offers great stacking flexibility for small parts, allowing multi-stacking for small parts in both material flow and perpendicular directions.
At the same time the blanking line is also capable of stacking large parts up to 3,200 mm per station and 4,100 mm using both stations.
All these features give the line great flexibility to process any type of part in terms of size and material and have allowed us to successfully achieve the initial objectives set by Volkswagen Autoeuropa in terms of 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 and 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.
