Highly complex sheet metal components.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Streparava SMT manufactures sheet metal components for automotive and agricultural applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This expertise became part of the Group in 2023, bringing the key stages of the process \u2014 pressing, assembly, welding and machining \u2014 together within a single manufacturing operation.

Distances are reduced, handovers are minimised and the production chain becomes less fragmented, improving continuity, stability and control over the finished component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspension crossmember for the Iveco Daily is a clear example: Streparava SMT\u2019s core product is a complex component weighing approximately 35\u201340 kg, made up of several pressed and assembled parts of different sizes. One of the clearest examples of this integration of manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Multiple operations, one process.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the receipt of steel strip or coils through to surface treatments, Streparava SMT oversees the material throughout its transformation.

Pressing and deep drawing<\/strong> are carried out using mechanical and hydraulic presses with capacities ranging from 30 to 1,700 tonnes.
A total of 17 presses, including one robotic press, handle different part numbers and sizes. The dies are manufactured by external suppliers from customer drawings or co-designed with Streparava SMT, allowing component geometry and manufacturing requirements to shape one another from the earliest stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welding<\/strong> is a special process carried out in robotic cells, in either single or twin configurations (two robots operating simultaneously), producing safety-critical welds that must meet strict parameters. The process demands exceptional precision: continuous machine fine-tuning is essential to ensure component stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streparava SMT also serves external customers: it can develop sheet metal components requiring several coordinated manufacturing stages while maintaining control over the entire process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
