Intelligent integration: automated blast, drill & saw line for Hahner

The line skips countless individual manual work steps, reduces unnecessary storage times and eliminates a myriad of sources of error in the production process. Workpieces are simply loaded at one end of the 100m long line and then pass through various processing steps autonomously, to be unloaded at a welding station or directly for shipping.

Despite not having had blast operations in-house before, the line now enables Hahner to offer cost-effective subcontract shotblasting right in the centre of Germany.
