Visitors to FABTECH 2023 will witness innovations in machinery and software, a broad umbrella of innovations for metalworking manufacturing.
With a wide range of machinery and innovations for the manufacture of sheet metal components, the Chinese company JFY will be presented at FABTECH 2023 in Mexico City.
With more than 40 years in the market, JFY has become a leading company in China for manufacturing industrial machinery for cutting and sheet forming. Since 2013, they have completed a merger with Trumpf Group, which has helped them incorporate new technologies more quickly and successfully enter new markets worldwide.
In Mexico, they were formally presented during the 2022 edition of FABTECH in Monterrey, Nuevo Léon, which allowed them to show their catalog of machinery and innovations for metalworking manufacturing. "We became known significantly in 2022 at FABTECH, as it is the number one fair in Mexico in terms of metalworking technology and includes the most important representatives and producers of machinery in the world," explained Jorge Bear, country manager of JFY Mexico.
Intuitive technology
Much of their machinery exhibited is oriented to high precision and repetitive processes, such as those required in the automotive industry. This represents a significant opportunity due to the extensive development of automotive manufacturing in Mexico. Bear explained that they have presses, laser cutters, guillotines, punching machines, and all kinds of manufacturing machinery that can generate highly automated tasks.
Among the offer to be presented at FABTECH 2023, laser cutting equipment stands out, which includes Lantek technology, which is very simple to program in laser cutting applications and, in the same way, makes operation easier and reduces the risk of not having enough staff to attend them.
At the JFY stand will also be presented a 150 tons press brake machine in 3 meters, with Metamation control, which is very intuitive and easy to operate and that, in Jorge Bear's opinion, will significantly help Mexican companies that are facing the lack of trained labor.
"As part of the benefits we want to show at FABTECH 2023 is the ability to develop 3D models with CNC support on machines," said Bear. "Among the most recurrent needs in our clients, we've found the lack of specialized labor and, in some cases, when they have it, it is costly. Our equipment and the embedded software help make cutting, punching, or bending easier."
Innovation beyond machines
In addition to the machinery and 3D control systems and software mentioned above, the Chinese firm's representatives will announce their spare parts' stock capacity, including consumables and the service offered by JFY Mexico. They will also present their financing plans to support companies in adopting new projects. "Significant new technology companies are coming because they know that the workforce here is high quality and companies have a growing technological capacity," Bear said. "We see that good things are coming for the country, and we must take advantage of them. Our machines are reliable; they produce, repeat, and have a fair cost for the value of the equipment. We invite our customers to develop parts with our equipment with the latest innovations for manufacturing so that, from tangible evidence, they can confidently make good deliveries to their end customers."
