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:
