Circular Economy, Automotive Industry Innovates to Zero emissions
Keen to grab a chunk of the huge addressable market for EVs, automakers will aim for economies of scale by building modular, scalable dedicated EV platform architectures.
With wastes generated by end-of-life vehicles becoming a massive problem, automotive companies will look beyond carbon-neutral factories to more fully embrace circular economy concepts and ideas of reuse and recycle. Propelled as much by their commitment to developing sustainable vehicles as by environmentally-friendly regulations the world over, the automotive industry will incorporate ‘Design and Dismantle’ principles at progressively earlier stages of the vehicle development process with the aim of reducing subsequent waste.

The automotive industry has radically changed in recent decades and our machines have also been developed and innovated accordingly. We have been forerunners of many trends, e.g. providing solutions suitable for cutting high-strength Hot Stamped Steel when the use of these materials was still only in its infancy.
In the automotive industry, the greatest challenges for intensive production are the drastic reduction of cycle times, maximum process reliability and efficient workflow management.
Sustainability, fuel savings and safety are key concepts in today's automotive manufacturing. The use of HSS materials points in this direction, making it possible to obtain light but very robust vehicles, with lower fuel consumption and emissions and greater safety for drivers and passengers.
In addition, our punch-laser combination machines are used in this sector for the high accuracy of the servo-electric punching device and the flexibility of the laser, capable of processing components of any shape.
The fibre laser can be very advantageous in the production of lightweight components, e.g. aluminium.

Prima Power EBe Express Bender Increases Productivity & Quality at Georgia Job Shop
When Randy Williams opened his job shop, he was already a seasoned fabricator. “I grew up with metal fabrication,” explains Williams. “My dad was an aerospace engineer who built trampolines part-time when I was 10 years old, and I helped build parts in the basement. His business evolved into making ferris wheels and other portable amusement rides, but eventually the liability insurance became too challenging for the small company.”
