CHALLENGE
A major North American multinational sought to elevate both quality and efficiency in the manufacture of metal components, in a context of rising demands regarding finishing, precision and process reliability.
Their previous system—based on independent stations and a high degree of manual handling—limited responsiveness to demand and compromised the uniformity of results.
SOLUCIÓN
Fagor Arrasate designed and implemented a fully automated production line for stamping, bending and assembly, engineered to ensure short cycle times, maximum repeatability and high‑quality finishes.
The project was executed as a turnkey solution, encompassing everything from process engineering to installation and commissioning of all stations.
Moreover, the line incorporates in‑process quality control systems that continuously verify precision and the finish of each component, ensuring full traceability.
The installation was designed with a modular and adaptable architecture so the company can easily incorporate new models or product variants in the future without major structural change.

IMPLEMENTATION
The line was developed in close collaboration with the customer, bringing together the engineering expertise of both teams.During the design phase, 3D simulations, deformation testing and dimensional validations were carried out to ensure that each element of the line met the highest standards of precision and reliability.
The result: a robust, versatile and highly automated installation, designed to handle both current demands and future production challenges with effectiveness.
RESULTS
The new line significantly reduced cycle times, increased productivity and improved finishing quality, delivering stable and efficient production.
Its high level of automation and reinforced mechanical structure provide safe, precise and low‑maintenance operation, along with optimized energy consumption—ensuring a sustainable, competitive investment for the long term.
AFTER‑SALES FEEDBACK
The customer highlighted the reliability of the line and the quality of the technical support provided by Fagor Arrasate.Tailored training and continuous assistance enabled a smooth transition to the new system, laying a strong foundation for future expansions and modernization projects.
LASER BLANKING
The laser blanking line provides finished laser cut parts directly from a coil, resulting in a more flexible and efficient production. It offers many advantages compared to blank fed systems thanks to the use of a coil, such as savings on raw material due to its better material efficiency, consistent work rates and a lower cost per part.
BENDING
The household appliance and HVAC manufacturing sector is a constantly evolving market that requires increasingly flexible production. In order to respond to the demands and needs of its customers, at FAGOR ARRASATE we have committed ourselves to innovation and the development of flexible bending systems.
