This is where a car begins its journey. The car body first begins to take shape in the press shop as press panels. It’s where steel is uncoiled from steel coils, straightened, cut and stamped. Production lines are fully automatic with automatic tool changing. The challenge arises when the press panels have to be transferred to the body shop. This apart, some of the press shop processes, too, can be extremely challenging. But none of this poses a problem for us.

We can help you take your press shop production line firmly under control with our precision controlled servo drives for uncoiling and straightening steel rolls. We provide gearboxes for the overhead conveyors that move parts and equipment down the production line. And, our motors, brake motors, geared motors and variable speed solutions ensure fault-free material handling with precise coordination.

Or consider our automation and process visualisation solutions which ensure smooth communication between the controllers and drives with the plant-wide operator control and monitoring systems. Each step is executed quickly and precisely for the next process.

Body shop processes start when the press panels arrive. The automation processes in this production line are highly complex, to say the least. Several parts are transported and welded while the vehicle body is moved from one workstation to the next. Body-in-white production is where robots make thousands of weld spots. That’s why high performance, flexibility and machine availability are critical for body shop processes. When you need flexible and efficient processes, you can depend on our servo drives for accurate synchronous operation together with our servo motors. Or choose our high-precision modular controllers which control welding speeds, at low tolerance limits, to avoid damage to thin sheet metal. Or opt for our innovative application-specific HMI products and systems to get cost-effective visualisation, in real-time, for production line and plant-wide monitoring. And, get best-in-class solutions for your body shop.

The paint shop is a zero fault tolerance environment. Production is non-stop. Heat and fouling make it a harsh environment. Conditions are very demanding. If zero fault tolerance is your goal, we’ll help you to achieve it. Auto-body painting calls for coordination of high-axis counts with complex trajectories while maintaining smooth, high speed motion on the production line. Our motion controllers can meet these challenges, ensuring precise movements over the profile and contour of the car body panels while moving on the conveyor.

We build the gearbox test units for automotive test machinery. Whether you require these test units at the design and prototype stage for new vehicle models, or at the end of the production line for quality assurance before the vehicles head to market, our gearboxes ensure you get high-performance testing time-after-time.

Future-oriented automobile manufacturers build vehicles that pack in the latest technology. And this concept of future-proof extends to their production lines as well. No one else is more aware of the challenges involved in keeping production lines up-and-running - with zero downtime - better than Intelligent Automation Systems. Whether it is replacements, repairing or calibrating services – we are your competent partner. Bank on our expertise and know-how gained from delivering automation components, systems and solutions to Toyota, Nissan and Honda. With us, you get hassle-free service which guarantees you minimum or even zero production downtime.
