Precision Forming Automation Cell
Project overview
When our client needed to automate a demanding forming operation, an off-the-shelf solution wasn’t going to cut it. Their process required handling thin, precision discs with repeatable accuracy — parts where consistency isn’t just a quality metric; it’s the product.
Akeratos engineered a custom automation cell built around a 4-servo drive mechanism designed specifically for the client’s disc handling requirements. The system automates the loading and unloading of the press brake, presenting each disc to the forming operation with precision placement and removing finished parts without operator intervention.
This wasn’t a catalog solution. Every element of the cell — from the servo-driven handling mechanism to the integration with the client’s existing press brake — was engineered around their unique process. The result is a highly tailored system that delivers the repeatability their product demands while freeing skilled operators from a repetitive machine-tending task.
