In northern Italy, a large oven manufacturer bends and presses stainless steel plates in an automated flexible manufacturing unit, forming corners of complex shapes without special tools.
Lean thinking these are just a few examples of how Finnish and Italian European sheet metal manufacturers can match the capabilities of advanced sheet metal machines and systems with production requirements.

Power produces Express Bender, its precision CNC winding machine. Finn-
Like most successful machine tool manufacturers, Power has recognized the importance of continuously integrating the latest technologies into its products.
Since the end of 1980, its customers have benefited from their commitment to lean ideas related to their products.
By definition, in lean production
Thinking about the management of the development and operation of the organization\'s products and processes makes it take less manpower, less space, less capital and less time to manufacture high-quality products-
Less defects
Lean Thinking simplifies operations, eliminates waste, and identifies and implements devices and procedures that contribute to value streams-
Both inside the operation and from the external supply stream. Finn-
Power\'s supply process into the sheet metal industry made a big leap in 1983 when it launched its own independent NC hydraulic turret punch.
Back at 1987, Finn-
Power began to automate the continuous working phase as a flexible production line, when it introduced the first combined machine with an integrated hydraulic right-angle shear and turret punch (Shear Genius). For Finn-
Power\'s customers this machine has pioneered the trend of independent machines with multiple functions, providing flexible solutions for sheet metal processing.
Since then, the company has enabled its machines to work independently by combining basic bending, stamping and cutting processes to produce machines for stamping/cutting, stamping/laser cutting, or punching/molding/tapping/laser cutting--
All on one machine.
These machines are linked with automation to form a complete manufacturing system that can be extended by adding new workstations as needed for production.
Working Sheet metal sheet metal manufacturers usually work aluminum, cold rolled steel and stainless steel plates with a thickness range of 0. 02\" to 0.
3 15 \", in the paper stock of 5x10 ft. up to 5x13 ft.
The turret punch machine is effective when processing steel up to 8mm (0. 314\")thick;
Cutting can handle materials up to 5mm (0. 196\")thick.
Based on production demand and future growth, a portfolio has been developed to handle almost any customer demand.

Express Bender works on the edge of the panel.
Typically, the process starts at the outer edge of the paper and continues to the inner part of the paper, working in turn until all the bends are completed.
Other products include press machines and robots.

And the laser cutting speed is 787 ipm (20 m/min).
Logistics can be automated in many ways.
In the introduction of Hannover, the laser shines with 5-
Shaft Loading, sorting, stacking robots, and sorting units with eight addresses.
Alternatively, the laser brilliance can be equipped with flexible modular material handling equipment, such as the use of Finn-
New Compact EPS raw material storage for Power.
Of course, it can be integrated into the night train FMS system.
Take the Night Train Finn-
Power first as an on-
The machine has the opportunity to create a unit with multiple functions and then to combine the machine into a flexible manufacturing system.
The most basic form of automation is loading and unloading to reduce human interference with the process and to complete the sorting and stacking of individual components as a final product or secondary operation.
In order to achieve the production goal of running from small batches to complete production operations, the company has developed a flexible manufacturing system that integrates machines into units with flexible automation, \"seamless integration of machines from parts to parts, from operations to operations \".
\"That\'s how President Finn Mico Lindstrom-
Describes the capabilities of his company\'s flexible manufacturing system for night trains.
In addition to punching, cutting, and!
Or laser cutting, Night Train allows adding robots to step on the brakes or built in
The line automatic panel bending device for the bending process of the automation assembly.
The advantage of the manufacturers is that they can \"bend only the parts needed today and be able to bend the parts in a different order than the stamped parts to meet their assembly needs, so, while improving throughput, the extra work in the process is eliminated, \"explains Lindstrom.
The night train FMS combines Finn-
Power flexible manufacturing units and their automatic material management systems, providing an overall solution for unmanned operations in sheet metal manufacturing workshops.
The night train is automatically stored through a new type of raw materials and finished parts, automatically controlling the system, equipment operation and material flow inside the system.
The material management system of the night train FMS holds all the blank paper needed.
Stamping and prefabricated parts are automatically stacked on pallets and transferred to the material management system via night train vans, allowing long periods of unmanned operation.
Another advantage of the night train FMS system is the existing or legacy manufacturing equipment, as well as the new equipment with the latest technological innovation, which can be integrated into the system to further automate the manufacturing process.
