Discuss your project
We provide advanced motion control solutions for automatic sheet metal processing machinery, supporting high-speed, high-precision industrial applications. Our systems are specifically designed for machines that must perform operations such as cutting, punching, and forming on material in continuous motion, without interrupting production flow.
This capability is critical within the sheet metal industry, where accuracy, axis synchronisation, and throughput directly impact productivity and product quality.
Continuous-Motion Control for High-Speed Operations
Many sheet metal machines require precise operations to be executed while the material is moving. Our motion control platforms are optimised for these demanding applications, enabling accurate synchronisation between tooling and material at high line speeds.
Typical applications include:
Flying shear systems
Deformation and forming machines
High-speed cutting and punching equipment
These solutions ensure consistent results while minimising waste and maximising machine efficiency.
Flexible Hardware Architecture
Our motion control systems support a wide range of machine configurations and complexity levels.
Solutions can be implemented using high-performance motion controllers, combined with a comprehensive range of servo drives and servo motors to suit specific application requirements.
The control platforms are capable of executing advanced motion functions such as flying shear control and managing multiple synchronised axes.
This enables complex sheet metal machines to be implemented in a highly integrated and efficient manner, reducing system complexity while improving performance and reliability.
Powerful Motion Software Solutions
Dedicated motion software libraries are available for standard sheet metal processing applications, providing pre-engineered functions that simplify machine development. For more advanced or non-standard requirements, electronic cam libraries are used to ensure precise synchronisation between machine axes and moving material.
This flexible software environment enables:
Accurate real-time synchronisation with moving material
High-speed execution of cutting, punching, and forming operations
Easy adaptation to different machine formats and production speeds
Custom Solutions & OEM Support
We deliver custom-engineered motion control solutions tailored to specific machine designs and production requirements. From system selection and architecture definition through to integration and commissioning, we support OEMs and system integrators at every stage of the project.
Our solutions help machine builders achieve high performance, long-term reliability, and future scalability in demanding sheet metal processing environments.
