Special-Purpose Machinery

Custom Designed Machinery for Heavy Industrial Applications

Special-purpose machinery plays a key role in optimizing production processes in the steel industry, where standard solutions often reach their limits. LogoTek modernizes existing machines or develops custom-engineered machines for demanding heavy-industry operating conditions. Projects can be delivered turnkey.

Project examples

  • De-coilers for skin-pass mills, including electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and automation scope
  • Modernization of thin-plate cutting lines and strip transport
  • Modernization of plate levellers
  • Heavy-duty roller tables and hydraulic handling equipment for steel products and rings
  • Paint marking machines for plates and coils
  • Pin stamping machines for heavy plates

Our projects can include the following components and services

  • Electrical engineering
  • Safety systems
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Sensor equipment
  • Hydraulic equipment
  • Pneumatic systems
  • Electrical and software interfaces to factory automation

Mechanical engineering, automation, drive technology and safety concepts can be combined to connect special-purpose machines with existing production lines. The integration scope and expected operational effects are defined for each project.

FAQ

Questions about special-purpose machinery

Answers about custom equipment, retrofit and integration for heavy industry.

When is special-purpose machinery appropriate?

It is suitable when standard equipment does not meet the required material, movement, space or process conditions.

Can LogoTek modernize an existing machine?

Yes. Retrofit can focus on mechanical, electrical, control or handling functions defined for the existing equipment.

What information is needed for an initial concept?

Useful inputs include the product, process sequence, loads, available space, interfaces, drawings and target operation.

Can a special machine be integrated with automation and tracking?

Yes. Controls, sensors, identification and data exchange can be included in the overall machine concept.
