By Application
Automation connects your machines into lines that run with less labor and more uptime. From automated panel bending and laser load and unload systems to integrated machining cells, this is the equipment that keeps metal moving when the lights are out.
The Lineup
Durma
Automated sheet loading and unloading for Durma HD series fiber lasers: lights-out material handling
Durma
Fully automatic CNC panel bending with servo-electric drive, automatic tool setup, and lights-out production capability
Mecal
Automated CNC fabrication line for milling, drilling, tapping, and cutting aluminum profiles in one setup
Boschert
Robotic bending cell option that mounts to any Boschert Gizelis hydraulic press brake for unattended, high-speed production
Buyer Guidance
Automation pays off when volume and labor pressure meet. The first question is which operation is your bottleneck, because that is where automating returns the most. Start there, prove it out, then connect the next station.
For high-volume box and panel work, an automated panel bender turns flat blanks into finished four-sided parts with minimal handling. Durma's PB panel bender automates the forming so a part moves through bending without an operator setting each bend, which is how you hold cycle time and quality at volume.
Beyond a single machine, automated laser load and unload systems keep cutting beds fed, and integrated lines and cells from Mecal tie cutting, machining, and handling into one flow. The goal is simple: keep metal moving when the lights are out. Build the cell around your real bottleneck and the uptime follows.
