Real Time with... productronica 2023: Optimizing the Lamination Process Through Automation. Lino Sousa outlines how Pluritec has automated the nine steps of lamination in a continuous Pluritec line, resulting in process times as much as 33% of traditional manual methods, all with increased accuracy and quality. Souza states that, if you do 50-75 panels a day or more, the ROI will pay for itself through saved labor alone.

"The right bending cell measures your automation goals against your production reality." Thinking of automation for your press brake, or stepping into a new bending cell?

There was a ‘holiday’ earlier this week…any idea what it was? If you have no clue, you’re in the majority - but it’s worth celebrating! May 20th was World Metrology Day. Most people have no idea what metrology even is, but every person in the world is impacted by it. Merriam-Webster defines Metrology as “the science of weights and measures or of measurement.” Metrology is an absolutely essential part of the manufacturing process. It’s how manufacturers reliably measure, inspect parts and products, and deliver on quality. Metrology enables manufacturers to create products that are safe and reliable…but it’s not as simple as it may sound. Historically, this equipment has needed to be heavy, immobile - think a massive slab of granite that isn’t very flexible. Manufacturers typically have to take items off the line and slow production down to accurately measure. This is why I get so excited when I talk to our metrology team and hear about the incredible progress being made to create portable devices that enable operators to measure and scan what they need, where they need it, without restrictions. The impact of having flexibility on the shop floor cannot be understated - and the more we can develop devices that allow operators ability to move with speed, without sacrificing quality, the better off we’ll all be! In fact, we’ve been hard at work on something that will give operators some much needed flexibility around scanning…check back in next week! With smart manufacturing advancements, this is an exciting time to be working in metrology. We are closer than we’ve ever been to true inline measurement and having measurement equipment at your fingertips.
