Press Automation Solutions

Front of Line · Press Line Transfer · End of Line

Press automation solutions from BR Machinery Asia cover every subprocess of the press line — from destacking blanks at the Front of Line, through press-to-press transfer, to finished part handling at the End of Line. We cover both new installations and the revitalisation (retrofit) of existing lines.

Our system concepts are developed continuously and adapted to changing production requirements. The focus is always the same: higher efficiency and higher line availability, supported by cost-efficient digital tools and services.

In Southeast Asia, BR has equipped 54 press lines with a total of 323 robots — for customers including Komatsu, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and other leading manufacturers. That record makes BR a dependable partner for press lines of any size, from a single retrofit to a complete tandem line.

We look forward to becoming your innovative and reliable automation partner.

What We Design and Build

BR Machinery Asia designs and manufactures a variety of front-of-line, end-of-line, and tandem press transfer robotic systems. Safety is the highest priority for all our customers. We can help get your presses to the latest safety standards using the most current safety controls. To make these automatic stamping presses more efficient, we can help you replace your legacy controls and get the most out of your stamping process.

Robotic Systems

Every one of our robotic systems is customized based on your press and stamping requirements. Each robotic process is put through simulation studies and designed to be flexible for product changeovers. An efficient controls architecture is designed into each system to optimize uptime and maximize production.

Controls and Safety Upgrades

The life cycle of a press is much longer than traditional automotive systems. So it’s easy to understand how important it is to upgrade the controls and safety systems – ensuring personnel safety and meeting OSHA requirements – and replace outdated components that are no longer available. BR Machinery Asia will work as a team with your engineering on all types of presses, including tandem, transfer, tryout, or progressive presses.

Our Solutions for the Whole Press Automation Process

Nine building blocks that cover the press line end to end. Each one works on its own, or as part of a complete BR system.
