The WaveLine Concept
The WaveLine concept has been developed to transfer large stamped parts, such as body side, hood, roof and double-door units through large press tandem lines. We deliver a new top level of performance in stamping press lines, be it conventional mechanical presses or be it servo presses. Our Tandem press lines operate at high levels of efficiency and deliver output ratings that exceed conventional systems, reaching to up to 17 spm in XL-type press lines and up to 21 spm in L-type ones.
The WaveLine working mode concept allows presses to run in continuous mode, reducing the drawing and cutting speed, and reducing the occupied space in the facility, as well as clutch and break maintenance tasks. The automation follows the motion of the presses automatically, even when the line speed increases or decreases based on production demands. WaveLine installations are, in all cases, lines with short die setup times as well as powerful help on HMI for operation and maintenance tasks.
The setup of the automatisation is more complex than the one in conventional press lines but once it is done the WaveLine adapts itself to the requirements of the production, optimising the installation in a quick and versatile manner.
We can also assist our customer in the definition and design of this type of lines; for example:
- Whether or not to use Servo Presses
- Stroke definition depending on type of press and parts to be stamped
- Servo hydraulic or Servo electric bed cushion
- Explanation regarding the necessity and use of the offline 3D Simulation
- Energy management
