Sheet Metal Automation
Move, place and join sheet metal without a second operator on the line
Equipment in This Group
All 3 Machines in This Group
Sheet metal is heavy, slippery, easy to scratch and awkward for one person to handle safely. This group covers the machines Delkotech builds to take the blank off the pallet, put it where it has to be, and join it without marking the finished face.

What Goes Wrong Without It
Two operators lifting a large blank onto a laser table is slow, inconsistent and a back injury waiting to happen. Double blanks slip through. Finished panels get dragged and scratched. Our sheet handling and joining machines close those gaps with vacuum gantries, separation devices and cold-forming joints that leave the coating intact.

About Sheet Metal Automation
What is in the Sheet Metal Automation group?
3 machine families: Automatic Sheet Metal Pick and Place Machine, Clinching Machine, Place Processing Automation Machines. Each is built to order around your part.
Which of these should I be looking at?
Two operators lifting a large blank onto a laser table is slow, inconsistent and a back injury waiting to happen. If you describe the step that is causing trouble we will point you at the right machine rather than the largest one.
Can these machines be integrated with equipment we already own?
Yes. Give us the make, model and available signals of the equipment either side and the handshake is designed in from the start.
Why are the specifications marked TBC?
Because these are machines built to order. Travels, forces and cycle times are set against your part at design review and then measured and recorded before shipment. Publishing a number before that point would be guesswork.
How long does a machine in this group take to build?
Lead time depends on the configuration and the current build schedule at the Vaughan facility. Email [email protected] with your requirement and target date and we will give you a schedule.

Bring Us the Operation, Not the Machine
Send the part drawing and describe the step. We will come back with a concept, a layout and a defined scope.
