APT: AP&T launching new line for flexible and effective press hardening of large and complex components
AP&T 推出用于大型复杂部件的柔性高效热成形新生产线
Electrification, Multi Part Integration, and higher share of recycled material. The shift in technology in the automotive industry is driving the development and introducing new requirements. AP&T’s new press-hardening line, AP&T Skylines, has been developed to meet these challenges and lead the way to more effective, more flexible and more sustainable vehicle production.
随着汽车行业向电气化、多部件集成以及使用更多可回收材料的转变，其正在推动热成形技术的发展并提出新的需求。为应对这些挑战并引领更高效、柔性和可持续性的生产，AP&T 推出了最新热成形生产线——AP&T Skylines。
It is hardly news that the automotive industry is currently in the middle of a massive transformation. Skylines is a fully automated line that has been specially designed for effective press hardening of large and extra large sheet metal and Multi Part Integration (MPI)—complex, integrated components—even in material with a high recycling rate.
目前，汽车行业正处于大规模转型阶段，这已是不争的事实。Skylines 是一条完全自动化的生产线，专为处理大型和超大型金属板材进行高效热成形而设计，可对多部件集成 (MPI) 的复杂集成部件进行处理，即使是在高回收率的材料中也能胜任。
AP&T Skylines’ module-based and scalable line includes energy-efficient servo presses, the compact Multi-Layer Furnace system, flexible linear automation, and high-quality tools and is optimized to handle large sheet metal and complex, integrated components.
AP&T Skylines基于模块化和可扩展生产线包含节能伺服液压机、紧凑型多层加热炉系统、柔性线性自动化设备以及高品质模具，是处理大型金属板料和复杂的集成部件的优先选择
Space-efficient design and greater flexibility
节省空间的设计和卓越柔性
To maximize production capacity for large-scale sheet metal with minimal energy consumption, AP&T Skylines has a flexible, vertical design that uses a modular and scalable solution. The line thus requires little floor space even though it includes energy-efficient servo presses, compact Multi-Layer Furnaces, flexible linear automation with Speedfeeders, high-quality tools, and related extensive service solutions, such as availability agreements. Each part has been developed to meet customers’ specific needs and ensure long-term performance.
为了在最小能耗的前提下实现大型零件最大生产能力，AP&T Skylines 采用了柔性纵向设计，使用模块化和可扩展的解决方案。尽管该生产线包含节能伺服液压机、紧凑型多层加热炉、配备 Speedfeeders 的线性自动化系统、高质量模具以及相关的服务解决方案（如全面服务协议），但仍只需很小的占地面积。每个部件都以满足客户的特点需求并确保设备的长期可用性而研发。
“AP&T Skylines is a result of our commitment to help our customers meet both technical and environmental requirements. With Skylines, we provide them with a solution that combines sustainability and efficiency without compromising on performance,” says Magnus Baarman, Managing Director and CEO of AP&T.
AP&T 董事总经理兼首席执行官Magnus Baarman表示：“AP&T Skylines 致力于帮助客户同时满足技术与环境要求的成果。通过这一新技术，我们为客户提供在不影响性能的情况下将可持续性与高效率相结合的解决方案。”
One of the most prominent features of AP&T Skylines is its compact and energy-efficient Multi-Layer Furnace system. Unlike traditional roller hearth furnaces, this vertical system can handle significantly larger sheet metal and more complex components without being limited by the furnace’s dimensions. In addition, it offers significantly lower energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, which makes it a central part of a sustainable production process.
AP&T Skylines最显著的特点之一是其紧凑且节能的多层加热炉系统。与传统的辊底式加热炉不同，这种纵向系统能够处理更大尺寸的金属板材和更复杂的部件，而不受炉体尺寸限制。此外，它的能耗和碳排放显著降低，使其成为可持续性生产流程中的核心部分。
AP&T Skylines is particularly suitable for Multi Part Integration and production of complex body parts, such as double door rings.
AP&T Skylines 特别适用于多部件集成和生产复杂的车身部件，例如双门环
Could revolutionize the automotive industry
定义汽车制造新纪元
With the growing demand for large-scale and integrated components, AP&T Skylines offers a solution that optimizes floor space and material and resource utilization while at the same time streamlining production. Fewer tool changes, shorter lead times, and lower energy consumption enhance both the competitiveness and the sustainability in the automotive industry.
随着对大型集成部件需求的不断增长，AP&T Skylines 的解决方案能够优化占地面积、提高材料和资源的利用率，同时简化生产流程。减少模具更换次数、缩短生产周期以及降低能耗，整体上提升了汽车行业的竞争力和可持续性。
“Skylines sets a brand-new standard for the automotive industry. With this flexible and scalable technology, we make it possible for manufacturers to simultaneously meet both technical and environmental challenges. Skylines is a next-generation press-hardening line that strengthens the manufacturers’ position on the global market,” says Magnus Baarman from AP&T.
“Skylines为汽车行业树立了新标杆。凭借这项柔性且可扩展的技术，我们使制造商能够同时应对技术和环境方面的挑战。作为新一代热成形生产线，Skylines能够增强制造商在全球市场上的地位。”AP&T 的Magnus Baarman说。
