In Part II of "Enhancing Engine Performance With Thermal Spray Coating", Paulo ES Rosa, manager, advanced thermal spray applications and process development, Comau, delves into the advantages of using aluminium alloy engine blocks over cast iron blocks augmented with thermal coating spray.

With articulated robots and advanced software applications that can simulate every stage of production, one company’s robotic solutions help a luxury automotive maker construct their signature models. Contributed by Comau.

Thanks to solid experience in the automotive sector and in-depth knowledge of OEM and Tier One manufacturers’ production dynamics, Comau offers robotised solutions for dedicated sheet pressing lines which fully satisfy, and often anticipate, market trends and requirements. By Marina Zussino.

Thanks to the implementation of a new line featuring robots, which was made possible by the collaboration between SIR, a system integrator based in Modena, and FCA Cento, production of new engine blocks for 3000cc V6 diesel engines is doubled. Contributed by Comau

Comau has developed the Racer 999, a six-axis articulated robot. With a reach of under a meter in length (999 mm), the robot is suited for applications in a limited space including assembly, handling, machine tooling, packaging and more.
