Dear Sir or Madam,

A very warm welcome to you with news from the Bright World of Metals and METEC-tradefair.com.

They go there, where we find it too uncomfortable. They perform tasks, where humans cannot work precisely enough. They take care of processes, which nobody can complete faster. We are talking about robots - for some the inspiration for cinematic horror scenarios of the future, but for most the solution for industrial problems.

At METEC 2015, the robots were able to be admired and were in the limelight. The manufacturing companies often offer a comprehensive package from single components to finished cell concepts. Exactly who or what was meant here, you can read in July’s theme of the month.

From single components to finished cell concepts

Whether it comes to extreme heat, handling molten metals or extremely heavy weights, lots of dust and working areas subject to high levels of moisture – the foundry environment places an enormous strain on people and machinery, and demands maximum robustness.

In addition, there are exacting requirements on product quality, reproducibility, flexibility in production, quantities and time sequences. By using modern robot systems in various sections of production, foundries can gear themselves up for the future and safeguard their global competitiveness.
