First SPU in AHCZ
April 3, 2023
We are very pleased to be able to officially launch the first SPU (Small Production Unit) in our plant. The „Samag-4 milling and automatic deburring“ project has started already in 2019, when the first ideas about automatic robotic deburring began to emerge. Despite a lot of obstacles related to testing, measuring, or debugging blocks, it was managed to a successful end. The result of 3.5 years of work is thus an acceleration of the continuous production time, the elimination of errors and health problems that occurred during manual de-needling.

Installation of a new block assembly line
January 25th, 2022
We are expanding the block assembly center with another assembly line, which is built according to the previous Mathieu lines 1-3. The Mathieu IV line replaces the heavy block line, which is obsolete. Blocks that are tested on the heavy block line are moved to the Mathieu lines, where the individual test procedures are optimized and much more efficient. With this, we promise to increase the existing capacity for the assembly of blocks.
