Cologne, March 5, 2025<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comau participates in the Global Giga-Casting Congress 2025<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>, the first international conference dedicated to new giga-casting technologies in the automotive industry, held March 5-6, 2025 <\/strong>at the Campus Center of the University of Kassel<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the two-day event Comau showcases new applications and innovations<\/strong>, including cutting-edge robotics and  machining solutions for casting and production lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions address the challenges that many manufacturing plants have, such as the adoption of advanced machinery, IoT devices, and data analytic tools, while making it easier for them to integrate new technologies into existing processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of particular interest, SmartReach Comau<\/strong><\/a> is a next-generation system that combines the precision of a machine tool with the agility of 5-axis articulation. The cutting-edge solution was specifically created for machining large and complex parts such as Aluminum Mega casting underbodies, battery trays, and aerospace structural components<\/strong>, and bridges the gap between operational costs and quality control by ensuring high stiffness and repeatability while maintaining consistent quality across the entire machining line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driven by a CNC controller utilizing G-code, SmartReach Comau ensures precise and efficient operations. The machine system is equipped with fully integrated cables and hoses, enhancing its streamlined design. Additionally, SmartReach Comau features a high-performance spindle, making it an excellent choice for challenging machining tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its modular architecture, SmartReach Comau can operate smoothly in confined spaces that traditional machines cannot easily access, enabling it to improve overall equipment efficiency (OEE) and optimize time and costs. <\/strong>Comau’s SmartReach machine tool is well-suited for the automotive industry, but also within aerospace, energy and other sectors where dynamism, rigidity and precision is required. In addition, SmartReach Comau was developed in full compliance with Comau’s ESG strategy, so that energy consumption during machining operations is much lower than traditional vertical or horizontal CNC machines. As a result, energy savings can be as high as 40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comau has solid experience in giga-casting processing lines to major automotive manufacturers of electric cars. Besides advanced and proven automation systems of assembly solutions, Comau proposes SmartReach to realize high performance and flexible machining of giga-casting parts processing with added value in comparison to the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
