REPORT - PAVESE
He had an idea – We had the solution One customer, one pen and one thought: «I would like to load blanks automatically.» What began as an idea and a sketch became a sophisticated automation solution at Pavese and EROWA – with raw part and pallet handling in one, automated clamping and fully integrated process control. A story about courage, doers and machines that think for themselves. How EROWA and Pavese AG are rethinking automation together – The idea Daniele Pavese, Managing Director of Pavese AG, does not believe in half measures. Anyone who talks to him immediately senses the urge to improve – in every detail. His wish: a more efficient manufacturing future. The man is serious. And anyone who knows him knows that where others make compromises, Pavese is just starting to warm up: «I want to load pallets AND raw parts automatically – and clamping the raw part on pallets at the same time.» Why?

If these processes are automated, several problems can be solved at the same time: Firstly, no one has to manually clamp raw parts anymore. Secondly – and this is the key aspect of this process – a check is carried out before unloading to determine whether any reworking of the finished part is required. For this purpose, the inspection process is integrated into the higher-level control system and automated: Palletized workpieces are fed to the measuring machine in a flexible and non-linear automated manner – and checked overnight. This relieves our bottleneck – in-process measuring.
