Automotive
The automotive industry has driven innovation in advanced manufacturing technologies as it continuously adapts to changing customer needs and relentless competition. In fact, it is safe to say that the automotive industry gave birth to the robotics industry. The innovations in automation by the automotive industry have then percolated down to various other industries.
DiFACTO has contributed to the automation of almost every aspect of automobile manufacturing.
The automobile manufacturing process can be broken down into the following major divisions:
DiFACTO has integrated robots for inter-press transfer, reduced cycle time by re-layouting and adding output conveyors, engineered end-of-line pallet racking systems, co-developed with a global automotive OEM a unique robot-adjustable tooling system to reduce the number of gripping tools (and thereby the storage/logistics of the tools).
The entire supply chain of automotive manufacturing includes a vast network of Tier-1, Tier-2 Automotive Suppliers. These are companies who design, manufacture and supply thousands of sub-assemblies like sheet metal assemblies, suspension parts, interior trim parts, steering assemblies, glasses and mirrors, headlights and tail-lights, electronic control systems, infotainment systems, plastic parts, wheels and tires, seating systems, batteries, transmission elements, active and passive safety systems, and many more.
DiFACTO is active with many global automotive suppliers such as Bosch, OP Mobility, Gestamp, Magna, Sundaram Clayton, Toyotetsu Group, Valeo, Lumax, Baxy, BASF, Saint Gobain, Endurance Group, Varroc, Ramakrishna Forgings, Dana Group, Schaeffler, and many more.
Construction Equipment
Heavy equipment like excavators, wheel loaders, dump trucks, fork lifts play a crucial role in infrastructure building. These machines are typically manufactured by welding together steel sheets, plates and tubesto achieve structural rigidity and the ability to withstand extreme forces that they are subject to in the field. DiFACTO has supplied robotic welding systems comprising gantries, robot tracks, workpiece positioners, motorised tail-stocks and capable of welding parts from 500 kgs to 9 tonnes. Our customers include leading global manufacturers of earth moving equipment.

Quality Assurance:
Integrated Seam Tracking: DIFACTO integrates welding robots with touch sensing, through-arc seam tracking, and laser tracking technologies to ensure consistent weld beads even when part repeatability cannot be assured (Please note: It is still important to have close to zero gaps in joints to be welded by robots).
Off-Line Programming: DiFACTO works with StruCIM – our partner for robotic welding and cutting offline programming software. StruCIM enables welding programs to be generated directly from CAD models, thereby ensuring high quality, error free welding with minimum equipment downtime during model changeover.

Electrical Machinery
Electric machines play a largely invisible but hugely important role in generation and transmission of electrical energy that powers our everyday lives. With the rapidly increasing trend of electric mobility, this industry is poised for an even more indispensable role. DiFACTO has played a pioneering role in offering innovative, ‘first-of-its-kind’ automation solutions to the electrical industry unlocking new levels of productivity, product quality and operator comfort and safety.
DiFACTO’s offerings to the Electrical Machinery industry includes:
Stator Core Stacking
Rotor Core Stacking
Stator Core Welding
Coil Taping
The electrical machinery industry is typified by large megawatt generators which convert kinetic (rotary) energy from prime movers such as steam turbines, gas turbines, hydro turbines, wind turbines, gas and diesel engines, into electrical power.
