MTL buys world's largest robotic press brake
MTL Group has acquired the largest robotic press brake system in the world, as it continues to attract more business from leading global OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) including Caterpillar, JCB, Sandvik, Bombardier and BAE.

This rapidly growing Sheffield-based company has purchased an Ursviken 7.2 metre 640 tonne CNC press brake with a 600 Kg capacity robotic handling system. This system, which cost £750,000, is the largest installation of its kind in the world, and allows MTL to produce components more accurately, quicker and more cost effectively than traditional methods.

Henry Shirman, Managing Director of MTL, said this investment was one of several new purchases designed to "set the company out as a market leader in the industry".

"Our customers demand the best, most cost effective service, so they can keep ahead of the competition. The new robotic press is up to three times faster than a manual press brake system and provides increased accuracy and efficiency," said Shirman.

Shirman said MTL has invested over 10 percent of turnover in new technology in the last 24 months. "Innovation and investment are key components which make us attractive to our wide customer base. More and more firms are benefiting from our enhanced manufacturing capabilities," said Shirman.
