Heavy Plate & Bar Steel Processing

Atlas Technologies plate and bar steel systems automate or semi-automate processes that require the movement and processing of heavy steel. Atlas systems can take on a wide range of tasks and can be configured to your particular production needs.
Bar steel, cut to length in the previous station, enters the notching press station at a major off-road and construction equipment manufacturing facility.

Material Handling Tools:

In the cell shown below, bar steel blanks are robotically turned over and de-burred for a Canadian manufacturer.

Heavy Duty Conveying Systems Heavy Duty Gantries Robots Vision Systems Part Identification Systems Specialized Magnetic and Vacuum and Gripper Part Handling Material / Part Storage and Retrieval Systems

Atlas Technologies integrated a track shoe handling system for a manufacturer in England whos process began with bar steel and ended with robotically palletized parts.

This heavy duty conveyance system conveys steel bars from the outdoor receiving area into the building and pre-stages the material for the shearing process. Heavy bar stock is destacked and fed into a cutting process for an East coast manufacturer.
