MEP solutions for mechanical workshops

Mep products are conceived to meet the needs of two main different sectors: metal forming and chip removal. Recently we presented our solutions for the metal construction world (available here); today we focus on chip removal and, in particular, on the world of mechanical workshops.

Mechanical workshops are specialized in metal processing and in the production of mechanical components used in a wide range of industrial sectors. To do this, these structures use different cutting techniques depending on the type of material and processing required. As a matter of fact, mechanical workshops often adapt to customer's specific needs by offering customization and batch production services. Moreover, as regards materials, they operate on several types of materials such as steel, aluminium, copper, brass, metal alloys, etc.

Among the main needs of these workshops are precise and accurate cutting of materials and optimization of bar remnant: these cutting activities can be executed through the use of sawing machines and numerical control (CNC) machinery.

To obtain precise cuts, several types of circular and band sawing machines can be used while, as far as numerical control machines are concerned, they represent an essential tool for modern mechanical workshops since they allow precise and complex cuts on a wide range of materials, thus obtaining highly accurate and repeatable works.

Mep for mechanical workshops

Mep offers a wide and varied range of numerical control and/or dual-column band and circular sawing machines able to meet the various needs of mechanical workshops thanks to their features. Let’s now see in detail the various categories of sawing machines.

As regards numerical control (CNC) machines, they are a valuable option for this sector since they are able to cut on a wide range of materials with high precision due to their ability to perform accurately controlled movements, thus allowing to obtain clear and repeatable cuts. These machines can be programmed to perform a wide range of cuts and operations and, at the same time, it is possible to create customized programs for complex and repeatable cuts thus allowing for greater production flexibility.

These sawing machines are fully automated, which means they can operate in complete autonomy once programmed, thus minimizing human intervention and improving efficiency and productivity. Thanks to their automation and the ability to perform fast and precise movements, they can cut material much faster than traditional sawing machines in order to reduce overall production time.

The monitoring and control systems of the CNC sawing machines allow to detect any problems during the cutting process - such as collisions or programming errors - thus ensuring safety and correctness of the operations.

Dual-column sawing machines are another valid option for the mechanical workshop sector thanks to their heavy-duty structure that offers greater stability and rigidity during the cut and reduces vibrations thus improving cutting quality. Thanks to the characteristics of their structure, they are able to easily handle even large and thick materials.

These sawing machines are equipped with safety devices - protective screens, sensors, emergency stop systems - which ensure a safe working environment for operators. Moreover, they are designed to be easy to use through intuitive interfaces allowing to easily program cuts and control the machining process.

Production efficiency is another important strength point of dual-column sawing machines: actually, thanks to their high cutting speed and the ability to cut heavy and tough materials in a shorter time, these sawing machines allow to improve production efficiency.

The last option offered by MEP for mechanical workshops consists in the range of circular sawing machines - also for fast cutting - which are essential tools to meet their cutting needs related to precision, efficiency, speed and flexibility. These machines are indispensable to obtain precise and quality cuts on a wide range of materials, ensuring efficient and reliable production of mechanical components.

All the different types of sawing machines listed above can work in collaboration with our line of material handling systems to ensure better management of the materials to cut and/or cut.
