Transfer & Stamping Systems

Transfer & Stamping Automation for Automotive Press Lines

Automotive press lines depend on stable part transfer, reliable sheet feeding, and consistent cycle performance. When transfer instability, manual loading, or material handling issues limit stroke rate and uptime, automation becomes critical to maintaining production targets.

Automation systems designed for 60T–3000T press environments support multi-station stamping operations by improving part transfer stability, reducing operator exposure, and enabling consistent high-speed production.

These systems support:

• Multi-station transfer automation
• Press-to-press part handling
• Sheet feeding and separation
• Robotic press tending and line integration
• End-of-line stacking and material flow control

When properly integrated, these technologies improve press utilization, cycle stability, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) across high-volume automotive stamping operations.

Velsson supports system implementation locally, including engineering consultation, installation coordination, commissioning, and ongoing service support, including hardware, software, and spare parts.

Press & Punching Automation

Increase Press Utilization. Improve Transfer Stability. Reduce Manual Risk.

Modern press lines demand:

  • Higher strokes per minute
  • Faster die changeovers
  • Stable part transfer
  • Reduced operator exposure
  • Support for high-strength steel and aluminum

Velsson offers transfer systems that are engineered for multi-station stamping environments where repeatability and stability directly impact OEE.

Available configurations include:

  • Heavy-type two-arm 3D transfer systems (800–3000T)
  • Independent transfer systems (200–800T)
  • Rod connecting transfer systems (60–315T)
  • High-speed tilting transfer systems (60–315T)

These systems are designed to:

✔ Maximize press uptime
✔ Improve stroke rate stability under heavy loads
✔ Reduce transfer vibration at high speeds
✔ Maintain alignment between dies
✔ Support large structural automotive components

Engineered for High-Tonnage & Structural Applications

Modern automotive lines often require synchronized processing across multiple stations with consistent handoff timing.

Automated systems support:

  • Controlled workpiece transfer between stations
  • Coordinated robotic operation
  • Stable throughput across automated cells
  • Modular expansion as production demand increases

This supports:

✔ Reduced bottlenecks
✔ Improved cycle consistency
✔ Stable takt alignment
✔ Higher operational predictability

Feeding, Depalletizing & Sheet Control

Transfer performance begins with reliable sheet handling.

Automation systems support:

  • Truss-type depalletizer + 3D manipulator
  • Non-magnetic sheet separation
  • Crane boom loading systems
  • Roll tail material conveying
  • First/last sheet emptying functionality
  • Stamping oiling integration

These systems help:

✔ Reduce misfeeds
✔ Minimize downtime during material changeover
✔ Improve sheet separation reliability
✔ Support continuous operation

Technical Performance Features

Transfer systems include engineered features that directly impact press stability and cycle consistency:

  • High-speed anti-shake functionality
  • Automatic motion curve determination
  • One-click save & model switching for changeover efficiency
  • Dual-piece mode for optimized production
  • Rich extension interfaces for integration flexibility
  • Interference check and motion analysis
  • End pick-up auxiliary design support


Comprehensive safety systems include light curtains, safety locks, sensors, monitoring systems, and LOTO compliance.

Robotic & Integrated Stamping Lines

Beyond standalone transfer systems, Velsson supports:

  • Robot-integrated production lines
  • Automotive thermoforming automation
  • High-temperature gripping systems
  • Output stacking lines
  • Ordinary and high-strength plate 3-in-1 systems

 

This enables:

✔ End-to-end stamping automation
✔ Robotic integration across multiple presses
✔ Automated hot forming lines
✔ Improved part stacking and end-of-line organization

Built to OEM Standards

Press automation systems are designed for compatibility with major OEM press platforms and industry-standard stamping environments.

Automation components and control systems are engineered to support:

• Integration with major press manufacturers
• Multi-station press line configurations
• Stable transfer across high-tonnage presses
• High-strength steel and aluminum applications

These systems incorporate proven automation technologies developed for demanding industrial production environments and high-volume automotive manufacturing.

When to Consider Press Line Automation

You may benefit from transfer and stamping automation if:

  • Press utilization is below target
  • Manual loading introduces variability
  • Transfer instability limits stroke rate
  • High-strength steel or aluminum creates handling challenges
  • You are launching new EV or structural programs
  • Changeover time impacts throughput
