Who are we ?
With more than 65 years of experience in the design and manufacture of machines and robotic systems, LUCAS wanted to move towards an industry 4.0. This approach took shape through exchanges with the MAZAK company in order to imagine and create the 4.0 sheet metal workshop.
To enrich this system, 3 new partners with complementary know-how have appeared (AKEROS, HEXAGON RADAN, JEAN PERROT) to create a complete solution to automate a robotized production line. This solution is part of a factory of the future approach that makes the entire production chain more flexible and agile in terms of organisation, performance and resources.
Lucas
LUCAS designs and builds linear modules from 100kg to 6,000kg, allowing, among other things, the construction of large gantry robots or linear axes to carry arm robots. Very competitive, these axes allow high velocity and high load applications, and can be deployed in a multitude of applications (machine services, machining, control, assembly, handling, palletising, etc. ….). Within the framework of this project, LUCAS has drawn on its experience and standards to develop and produce the « Smart Tower System », machines combining a storage system and a application system to automate sheet metal workshops.
