The combination makes it: Not only that the production of boxes and profiles with a RAS Multibend Center is already mega fast - combined in the material feed with a PIVATIC punching and cutting unit and with an unloading robot, the productivity in the control cabinet production in the Schneider Electric production could be increased by over 400%. Previously, the parts were first produced manually, later automated with press brakes.
Schneider Electric is a global company headquartered in France. Its two main business areas are power distribution in medium and low-voltage networks, and industrial automation. At its Capellades production site near Barcelona in Spain, Schneider Electric manufactures switchgear and distribution cabinets on highly automated equipment. The fact that automation is worthwhile is already proven by a poster hanging in front of a combined punching and bending line. This sheet metal processing line is made up of punching modules from Pivatic and a bending cell from RAS. Schneider Electric puts the increase in efficiency due to this line at 410%.
