In sheet metal processing, mechanical engineering provides technologically innovative machines. This enables and automates precise cutting, bending and forming of sheet metal. This is an important basis for manufacturing complex components and structures. Automated welding supplements these processes through the use of robots and specialized welding systems. The advantages are obvious: simple reproducibility, high speed and consistently first-class quality of the weld seams. Automation can also improve occupational safety and alleviate labor shortages to some extent. In our articles and videos, we show you some of the latest developments in sheet metal processing - including innovation award winners.
