Technology

Six processes,
six category leaders.

Industrial-grade machines from the global leader in each process — acquired 2024–2026 under the EU OP TAK programme — under one roof in Prague. Single-unit and small-series, with the digital continuity to go from model to finished part fast.

TRUMPF TruMatic 1000
01 · Sheet metal — punching & forming

TRUMPF TruMatic 1000

Germany

Primary sheet-metal entry point. Punches, forms and pre-taps threads directly into raw stock. Software-paired with the TruBend so geometry is tested against the downstream bend sequence before any material is committed.

  • Precision punching + tapping in one pass
  • Threads formed directly in plate, eliminating separate fasteners
  • Digital workflow continuity with the TruBend
  • Short setup, fast changeover for low-volume runs

TRUMPF TruBend 5170
02 · Sheet metal — press brake

TRUMPF TruBend 5170

Germany

Second stage of sheet processing. Bends pre-punched plate into structural panels, frames and housings. Equipped with the ToolMaster automated tool magazine, removing manual tool changes between bends.

  • Software-paired with TruMatic — collision check, springback compensation, bend-order optimisation
  • Virtual simulation catches geometry errors before metal is cut
  • ToolMaster automation cuts setup time on multi-bend parts
  • 170-tonne capacity for structural parts

Yamazaki Mazak INTEGREX i-100H ST
03 · Multifunction CNC turn-mill

Yamazaki Mazak INTEGREX i-100H ST

Japan

Single-setup precision machining on nine controlled axes — turning, milling, drilling and tapping in one clamping, so tolerances never accumulate. Bearing housings, drive-train interfaces, mount adapters. Blanks are cut to size on a fully automatic Kasto saw.

  • Nine controlled axes — the most complex parts in a single clamping
  • Compact footprint, lower inertia, faster reaction
  • Automatic shop-floor programming integrates with our CAD pipeline
  • Lower energy draw per cycle than the unit it replaced

FANUC CRX-20iA/L
04 · Robotic automation

FANUC CRX-20iA/L

Japan

Anchors the robotic laser welding cell — pairs with the IPG LightWELD XR and a 3D camera system. Capable of both supervised and autonomous welding operations.

  • Collaborative-safety profile — works alongside the operator, no cell fence
  • Long-reach variant fits large structural sub-assemblies
  • Vision-system integration for adaptive path planning
  • FANUC global service network — 20+ year service life realistic

IPG Photonics LightWELD XR
05 · Laser welding

IPG Photonics LightWELD XR

USA / global

Welding head on the FANUC arm. Clean, repeatable, low-distortion welds on structural sub-assemblies built for ten-plus years of cyclic loading. Laser pre- and post-cleaning are part of the same workflow.

  • Fibre laser — clean welds, minimal thermal deformation
  • Lower filler-material consumption than arc welding
  • Reduced post-weld grinding
  • Safer exposure profile than arc welding (no UV / spatter)

EOS FORMIGA P110 Velocis
06 · SLS additive manufacturing

EOS FORMIGA P110 Velocis

Germany

Selective laser sintering for production parts in PA12. Geometrically complex brackets, fittings and ten-to-hundred-piece runs that would otherwise need injection-mould tooling unviable at our volume.

  • Production-grade SLS — not just prototyping
  • Powder partially recyclable on-site
  • Design iteration in hours, not weeks
  • Replaces machined or injection-moulded parts in FRAME V6 and CUBE COMPACT

DyeMansion Powershot Performance
07 · SLS post-processing

DyeMansion Powershot Performance

Germany

Surface conditioning for parts off the EOS FORMIGA. Removes residual powder, refines surface texture and prepares parts for dyeing and sealing — the step between a printed part you demo and a part you ship.

  • Consistent surface finish across batches
  • Handles PA12, matched to FORMIGA P110 output
  • Production-grade, repeatable finishing
