Fincantieri and its Monfalcone Shipyard decided to continue with a well-tried Pemamek welding automation technology in shipyard’s production lines: Fincantieri ordered a unique profile processing line and one side welding station with laser-hybrid process and integrated milling. The exact amount of the contract is not revealed by the parties, but it is in the order of several million euros.
Previously Pemamek has supplied patented Vision Robot Stations for welding panels to Fincantieri. The shipyard has found the results with PEMA systems productive and advanced, so there was a ground laid to further co-operation and trust between the two companies.
Based on good relationship, Fincantieri and Pemamek have now revealed a contract of laser-hybrid based one-sided welding station and a unique profile processing line. The contract consists of a full turn-key delivery with designing, manufacturing, assembly, installation and training. The delivery of these both outstanding solutions will take place during summer 2013 at Monfalcone.
At the first stage of the project, PEMA created efficient solutions for profile processing and plate joining in close cooperation with Fincantieri. The co-operation was fruitful and productive from the very beginning. As Pemamek stands for one of the only global professional manufacturers of both types of complete systems, a package solution was the best way to solve Fincantieri’s production needs.
In the project, Pemamek had the capability and know-how to take customer’s specific requirements on serious consideration and to adapt them to PEMA’s own existing technology. The profile processing line which consists of edge blasting and milling functions before fully robotized cutting and sorting system is the most advanced and highest technology available on the market. The solution is very unique and highly automated to provide superior capacity and quality to the shipyard production.
Plate joining system is the first one of its kind and size on the markets and is consisting of huge one sided welding station with laser-hybrid welding process integrated together with tandem MAG process for welding various range of thicknesses. The station includes also PEMA’s own milling machine technology and rigid clamping systems for the in-feeding and out-feeding the plates with related conveyors. Welding power sources are of latest technology and fiber laser source one of the biggest for plate joining.
Pemamek is dedicated to listen to customer’s requirements, conditions, wishes and needs. Pemamek has over 40 years of experience of different production and welding automation systems that makes PEMA solutions easy to fit with customer’s current systems. PEMA solutions are flexible and Pemamek’s professional engineers have the experience and know-how in this kind of unique solutions. In addition to these factors, the company’s strong commitment on creating key customer partnerships was the reasons for the concluded contracts.
