Low maintenance and compact robots are used in order to enable quick loading of aluminium billets. No additional disassembly works are required while change of recipient. The loading gripper operates without any moving parts and is extremely safe during operation.
The robot flexibility enables simple ejection of billets while tool breakage, and practical positioning for nitride application.

Scrap reduction thanks to the use of an automatic scrap rack with robots and a welding system.
Scrapped parts are stored temporarily and used on request, welded with a matching, cut element. In the case of many alloys, this enables the scrap to be reduced to zero.

A powerful billet saw for the highest precision for billets up to 12“. A highly precise limiter system and a specially designed tensioning system also enable short piece sawing.

Diameter = min. length.

Cleaning of delivered screws with pressurised water and a brush system, up to the 12“ diameter. A water treatment system is included on request.

A fully automated, high rack warehouse for tools and accessories, including full logistics and control systems.

The highly available stacker and destacker systems with safe gripping of spacers and individual monitoring of tongs, for handling profiles up to 14 m long.
Extremely short cycles from gripping until deposition, optionally with an individually adjustable combing deposition system.

Automatic, internal skip transport using floor conveying systems, such as roller tracks, chain conveyors, transfer carriages or automatic cranes, including the control system.

CRANE – Logistical heart of the aluminum extrusion plant

• Automated process integration
  The crane enables the seamless linking of systems, ensures efficient
  material flows and optimizes production processes.This means that
  the crane can not only link systems or supply a warehouse, but also
  completely load and unload aging ovens without additional technology.
• Precise positioning
• Security systems
• High speed and efficiency
• Energy efficiency and user-friendly controls

For a well-known car manufacturer, battery trays for one of the most modern electric cars in the world are produced on this fully automated production line.

The various profile cross-sections are stacked in special pallets designed by SPS and are managed by a fully automated crane. The sawing line is also fed via this crane and a sophisticated conveyor system in which the empty pallets, including the necessary spacers, are automatically transported back to the extrusion press.

The profiles are sawn in layers and then checked for dimensional and shape accuracy 100% automatically. To ensure seamless quality assurance and tracking, all profiles are marked with a code by means of laser marking.

In the following process, the profiles are welded into a plate and machined.

Ensuring traceability (ISO certified) sets new standards in the Aluminium industry.

The system has two assemblies: The first is used exclusively for marking rejected goods and can handle surface temperatures of up to 560°C, while the second assembly provides detailed information about the product text and/or as a data matrix code.
In the latter case, care is taken to ensure that process-related positional inaccuracies of the profile are measured in real time and the print head is readjusted accordingly.
