Press automation
System advantages and system properties
Experts for automation solutions in press shops
For decades, Strothmann has been an established supplier of automation systems for a wide range of applications in press shops: from press lines to individual presses. Our portfolio includes systems for the Front of Line, press linking and the End of Line. Our strengths include the linking of tandem lines and retrofitting projects. To optimise press automation systems to the greatest possible degree, we use our simulation software StroCon PL and OpenLoop. Moreover, we also offer our RoundTrack systems as integrated solutions for material transport.
System advantages
Innovative function integration
- Centring in the Front of Line without additional centring robot
- Orientation and distribution on conveyor belts in the End of Line without a shuttle or robot
- These functions reduce the number of required toolings and associated changing units
- Direct cost reduction by up to € 1.4 million
- Compact line length thanks to minimised press spacing and omitted FoL and EoL components
Retrofitting experts
- Improved output thanks to electronic transfer and press phase offset
- Free programming in all six degrees of freedom
- Compact design for installation in very small spaces
- Improved performance and reduction of try-out times through simulation software
- Fewer tools thanks to eliminated orientation stations
- Quicker set-up process through fully automatic tool change
Clever combinations of established individual systems
- Tailor-made solutions consisting of modules from the module kit and additional functions
- Versatile combinations of operating modes and modules
- Scalable and expandable systems
- Press automation and modern intralogistical processes with AGV
- Optimised process sequences through offline programming and simulation systems
Advantages through simulation software
- Full offline programming of press automation
- Improved output and reduction of try-out times through optimised movements
- Higher level of safety thanks to collision monitoring
- Virtual teaching, set-up and run-in of products
- Optimisation of grippers and tools as early as the design phase
