ERLO GROUP CONTINUES TO BOOST AUTO SECTOR PRESENCE WITH SALE OF VARIOUS IBERMACH BRAND PRESSES

Following the trend of the last few years, IBERMACH Special Machinery, a company of the ERLO GROUP, recently designed, manufactured and delivered various hydraulic presses to the national automotive sector. Early in the year two robotic cells for calibration and punching of stainless steel housings were installed, forming part of the ‘cooler’ mounted in several Renault-Nissan engines. This project was done for the Vigo and Viana do Castelo (Portugal) plants of the multinational company Borgwarner Emission Systems. Also, one 80-ton capacity aluminium deburring press was delivered to the Denat company, pertaining to CIE Amaya, along with a special aluminium part riser removal machine (similar to another one delivered two years ago). This press deburrs various kinds of supports for the German company BMW. Next week the third press will be delivered to Metaldyne of Barcelona, now American Axle & Manufacturing, and the signing process for a fourth press with the same characteristics is now under way.

Bearing in mind the different special automatic drilling machines and high-production machining transfer machines that it has manufactured in recent years, ERLO GROUP, via IBERMACH Special Machinery, has become a key equipment supplier for most of the many companies in the national auto sector involved in deforming or swarf removal.

Also noteworthy are the R&D&I efforts of ERLO GROUP, which has developed, tested and successfully implemented a new and fully automated robotic thread checking system, which has demonstrated its efficiency in 100% thread control, resolving final assembly line quality problems at Renault. ERLO GROUP is currently working on further development of this robotic thread checking System, which may mark major progress for the auto industry, as it is able to check threads on already mounted assemblies with holes at different angles.
