What, according to this article, is “impressive in size, quality, flexibility and performance” is the latest investment in technology made by the owners of Gatta, namely the Kronos KR 32 SP, an automatic CNC gantry line from Ficep. It comes complete with a 24 x 3.1 m bench, a drilling head with a 6-position automatic tool-changing device, a plasma cutting system and a bevel cutting head for angled cutting.
Starting with a description of the new machine and the importance of innovation in the world of sheet metal, the article then takes a look at key aspects of the Gatta company. These include the flexible production of the company, which can move between prototypes and small samples to small and medium serial productions. The practicality of the 4.0 infrastructure, through which the main machines are connected to the company’s computer system, allows for the continuous monitoring of production processes. Other key aspects include the importance of quality certifications for growth of the business and acquisition of new customers, the priority given to the ongoing search for young people to be trained up and join the workforce, and the company’s focus on sustainability (citing the example of the installation of solar panels to meet part of the company’s energy requirement). Finally, the article mentions the gradual internationalisation of the business.
