Bruderer launches UK-first at MACH 2024

A UK-first took place at MACH 2024 in Birmingham last week when Bruderer ran its BSTL
350-88 live at the event. The leading high-speed press manufacturer set-up a full production
line to showcase the machine’s capability in the volume production of small and miniature
components.
According to Bruderer, the BSTL comes into its own for precision and continuity and uses up
to 30% less energy when compared with older machine models. The turnkey line at the
MACH exhibition featured a state-of-the-art pallet decoiler and winder, with purpose-built
‘MACH’ tooling producing commemorative giveaways for visitors to the stand. Experts from
Bruderer UK were also on hand to talk about the company’s growing range of machines and
associated partner technology that is helping its customer base in automotive, aerospace,
building products and electrification.
“MACH 2024 was a massive moment for our UK business and was the first time anyone saw
the BSTL 350-88 produce products at a major manufacturing event,” explains Adrian Haller,
managing director at Bruderer UK. “It was one of the main attractions of the rapidly growing
Metalworking Village at the show, showing customers how they can remain competitive
when tendering for mass production projects.”
He continues: “This latest press also utilised our latest control system, which is accessible
using different devices via a web browser, with remote state-of-the-art maintenance and
the highest cyber security. The BSTL 350-88 is a fantastic new addition and I believe will be
one of our best-ever sellers.”
Bruderer also used MACH to introduce the BSTA 710-220 to the UK market. The company
says this press is all about delivering more space for complex stamping tools with the
longest bed length (2.2 m) of its type in the world.

High-speed precision press wins award

Press manufacturer AIDA reports that its high-speed precision press line for producing EV
drive motor cores has won a ‘2023 Ten Greatest New Products Award” from the Nikkan
Kogyo Shimbun (Business and Technology Daily News). The award was established in 1958
for the purpose of encouraging the development of superior new products and spurring
even higher technological advances in Japanese industry.


In order to provide customers with the optimal high-speed precision press line for producing
difficult-to-form EV drive motor cores, AIDA developed a complete array of peripheral
equipment to achieve world-class high-speed forming, including an un-coiler, an S-loop
device, a feeder, a core rotator and a scrap cutter. The system features cutting-edge digital
and AI (artificial intelligence) technologies, enabling AIDA to provide customers with a
comprehensive solution for an entire high-speed precision press line that incorporates DX
(digital transformation) technology.
The judges said that, until now, no press manufacturer had independently developed and
manufactured an entire system for forming EV drive motor cores, as well as peripheral
equipment and software. A total solution of this type previously required ordering from
third parties.
Notably, the facial recognition system prevents erroneous operation by unauthorised
personnel, while AIDA also developed an oil temperature management system to maintain
high-precision forming and a predictive failure detection system. AIDA says it is the first to
achieve automated production in this field. The company expects the system to boost EV
motor core production and help combat the existing shortage of skilled workers.
Moving forward, AIDA says it will continue striving to develop environmentally friendly
technologies and further improving customer service.

Barrow funding

A major investment in Barrow-in-Furness can only be good news for supply chain companies and the wider economy. That is the view of award-winning engineering business Forth, which has one of its three Cumbrian bases in the town. The Government’s announcement of a £20m investment in the Barrow Transformation Fund is expected to create more than 8000 career opportunities at BAE Systems, its supply chain and the region’s economy. Forth believes the fund will help it attract engineering talent to the area as well as creating significant opportunities to support new defence projects at BAE Systems.
