Forging line for aluminium parts

For the line, which is one of the most modern aluminium forging lines in the world and which was designed, constructed and assembled entirely in the Czech Republic, we provided automation and a superior control system.

The entire forging line fully automatically cuts the bars, heats them to process temperature, rolls, bends, forges, cuts, forges and artificially ages the parts. All in a record cycle time of under 7 seconds. 

All operations are handled by 18 six-axis ABB industrial robots, which, along with all process operations, are controlled by our master system with production data acquisition and performance parameters (OEE).

The know-how ICE brought to the project

• increase in production capacity by 30%
• monitoring line efficiency with online monitoring of our DatICE system
• instant digital reporting, statistics and analysis
• Increased speed of service intervention (VPN access to all suppliers' equipment)
