Customer Case - HEAD Waterjet Auto Parts Inspection and Sampling Waterjet Cutting Solution

Company Name: Benteler Automotive Industry Group

Waterjet Machine Model: HEAD-RB-A2600 Robotic Arm / HEAD42037Z Integrated Waterjet Cutting Workstation

Client Background:

The client is a renowned automotive industry leader, Benteler Automotive Group, specializing in the production and development of vehicles and components. With increasingly stringent quality inspection standards in the market, the client required an efficient and precise sampling solution to cut automotive parts for inspection and analysis.

Client Requirements:

1. Efficient and Accurate Sampling Cuts:
   The equipment must deliver high precision and high efficiency to quickly and accurately extract samples from automotive components for testing.

2. Mobility and Easy Relocation:
   Without a fixed workshop, the client needed a design that allows for easy relocation between factories while minimizing setup complexity.

3. Noise Control and Safety:
   The equipment needed to operate at noise levels within acceptable limits and ensure the safety of operators during use.

Design Solution:

HEAD Technology, after four rounds of discussions and optimizations, developed an industry-first containerized waterjet cutting solution to meet the client’s needs. The key features of the solution include:

1. Integrated Design

The entire system—featuring a robotic arm waterjet cutting workstation, water treatment system, sand removal system, high-pressure system, and an operator's room—is fully integrated into a single standard container. This compact design ensures efficient use of space while meeting functional requirements.

2. Noise Reduction and Sound Insulation

The container is engineered with soundproofing materials to maintain operational noise at acceptable levels, creating a safer and quieter work environment.

3. Safety-Focused Zoning

The container design divides the internal space into clearly defined working and operating zones, ensuring that the operator is shielded from potential hazards during operation. The cutting process is performed in a fully enclosed workspace, further enhancing safety.

4. Easy Relocation

The containerized design allows the system to be relocated as a single unit without requiring disassembly or reassembly, ensuring seamless transitions between factories and projects.

5. High-Performance Cutting

Equipped with a robotic arm to precisely control the cutting path, the system uses high-pressure waterjet technology to achieve accurate and efficient sampling of automotive parts. This innovation significantly improves production efficiency while reducing sampling costs.

Benefits for the Client:

1. Meets Strict Quality Standards:
   The high-precision waterjet technology ensures that automotive components are sampled with accuracy and consistency, meeting the highest industry standards.

2. Seamless Mobility:
   The containerized design enables the equipment to be easily transported to different factory sites, minimizing downtime and setup time.

3. Enhanced Safety:
   The fully enclosed work environment and clear safety zones reduce risks for operators while maintaining productivity.

4. Cost and Time Efficiency:
   By integrating advanced robotic and waterjet technologies, the system boosts efficiency and reduces labor costs, making it a cost-effective solution for the client.
