The FOUNDRY-MASTER Smart is the ideal solution for the metal production and processing industries, delivering reliable, cost-effective analysis. This next-generation optical emission spectrometer combines high analytical performance with an exceptionally compact design. Featuring a spark spectrometer with rapid start-up and short measurement times, it enables the identification of duplex steels through nitrogen analysis. Its uniquely designed spark stand is accessible from three sides, ensuring ease of use and maximum flexibility.

We offer a free analysis of your packaging processes, including onsite reviews and machinery trials. Our experts will identify opportunities to save you time, materials, and cost in the most effective, sustainable way. We work closely with your team to implement these improvements — not as a one-off service, but as part of an ongoing commitment to long-term optimisation.

Our fully automatic machines combine efficiency with precision to streamline your packing process. Once a product is placed at one end of the line, the advanced sensing technology detects it, feeds it through, wraps it , and then dispenses it, fully packaged and ready to be dispatched. Particularly suitable for uniform products and high production volumes, these machines significantly reduce the need for human involvement, offering a hands-free, high-speed packaging solution. By investing in one of our fully automatic machines you will benefit from unparalleled efficiency, accuracy, and a bespoke system tailored to your unique requirements.

Galvacoat® is a one-coat solution when colour needs to be added to galvanized steel, either to complement existing branding or create a bigger visual impact. It is a tough, single application polyurethane topcoat that’s specifically formulated to adhere perfectly to Hot Dip Galvanized steel.

It is used in heavy industry and machine manufacturing industry. They have high load carrying capacity. They are products with high friction resistance. Thanks to its graphite feature, the manufactured spare part helps the machine operation by being less lubricated. Thanks to its high strength, it is preferred in the production of parts such as bearings, moving parts, bushings and bearings.

Grey-1 is our next-gen AI brain for process control and closed-loop feedback. Capable of advanced error detection, manufacturing parameter prediction and optimisation capabilities within 24 hours of setup, Grey continues to learn from every part it makes. This aids manufacturing of high-quality goods while minimising energy use and environmental impacts. Grey also empowers the workforce, equipping it with the necessary skills to not only fill current skills gaps but to excel in a future where adaptive manufacturing and sustainable practices are widespread. A fundamental challenge with AI systems is that they typically require extensive examples of the things they are supposed to do before they perform effectively. This can be challenging in manufacturing where data can be difficult or resource-intensive to gather and store. For instance, some defects might be critical but not occur often. Or it might require highly-skilled engineers to annotate images with the things an AI system needs to learn, which is unfeasible given the amount of examples an AI system will typically need to see. Grey’s core and patent-pending technology is capable of automatic data labelling, minimising the need for laborious and slow data annotation or replication of rare failure modes to train models. Grey can also learn the causes of defects, rather than simply identifying correlations. This allows it to build a better understanding of the underlying physical processes, reducing the amount of data needed for the system to work and making it robust to changes in the environment, process inputs or product mix.

The HB-System is one of the most successful developments in lifting and material handling technology, combining the effectiveness of a stationary hoist with the mobility of an overhead crane, efficiently and cost-effectively.
