Fincantieri awarded Pemamek welding automation contract
F
incantieri and its Monfalcone Shipyard have decided to continue with a well-tried Pemamek welding automation technology in the shipyard’s production lines: Fincantieri has ordered a unique profile processing line and a one-sided welding station with laser-hybrid process and integrated milling. Pemamek has previously supplied Fincantieri with patented Vision Robot Stations for welding panels. The new contract consists of a full turn-key delivery with design, manufacturing, assembly, installation and training. The delivery of both these outstanding solutions will take place during summer 2013 at Monfalcone.
For the first stage of the project, PEMA created efficient solutions for profile processing and plate joining in close cooperation with Fincantieri. As Pemamek stands for one of the only global professional manufacturers of both types of complete systems, a package solution was the best way to solve Fincantieri’s production needs. The plate joining system is the first of its kind on the market and consists of a huge onesided welding station with laser-hybrid welding process integrated together with a tandem MAG process for welding a wide range of thicknesses.

Paul Canwell, project manager at Eminox, said: “This has been a real development partnership between the two companies, with each complementing the other in perfecting these systems.” One of the key objectives was to keep the number of exhaust system variants to a minimum while working within the limited space available for mounting the systems on many of the machines. Eminox met these requirements by using novel system geometry and innovative urea injection points coupled with advanced mixing. Visit: www.eminox.com ing projects where Balfour Beatty excels.
