Automated storage and sawing: German manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders modernises and expands its production capabilities

摘要

Since 1993, storage and sawing technology from the German company Kasto (www.kasto.com), which has a UK subsidiary in Milton Keynes, has provided service and equipment to hydraulic-equipment manufacturer Liebherr-Components Kirch-dorf GmbH. To meet increasing demand for its hydraulic cylinders, the latter decided in 2019 to modernise and expand its production systems; it commissioned Kasto to upgrade the existing storage system for steel bar and tube - along with one of two handsaws - and install a customised robotic handling system.
