ATS contracted to supply two tying machines

ATS Mechatronics has been selected by Acciaierie di Sicilia to supply and integrate two tying machines into its bar rolling mill in Catania, Italy. The scope of the project includes the design, manufacturing and com- missioning of an automatic tying machine for round bundles to be integrated into the final tying area. Auxiliary mechanical equipment, a hydraulic circuit and electrical systems will also be supplied. The automation will be totally integrated by AIC in the new finishing area automation system. All ATS tying machines are tested in the company’s workshop before shipment to site, to reduce start-up time and costs. The commissioning will be carried out during the summer 2020 shutdown.
