Customer Story: ABCOR / Preston General Engineering

For over a decade, Headland and Preston General Engineering (PGE), a division of ABCOR, have been working together to automate and increase efficiencies in ABCOR’s production line.

The latest purchase by PGE was the STOPA system; an automated material storage system that stores raw sheetmetal, work in progress and finished products.

With the STOPA system and the laser cutting machines on the manufacturing cell, our customers can run the machine 24 x 7 with minimal human interaction.

Benefits of integrating the automated storage system into the manufacturing cell include:

  • Less material handling
  • Increased machine up time
  • Reduced material / finished goods storage space
  • Streamlined process flow
  • Optimised parts quality by minimised manual handling
  • Lower unit costs and improved profit margins
