What are the costs of powder coating?

The cost of powder coating varies depending on the size, complexity, and specific requirements of the project. Despite the initial costs, powder coating often offers significant long-term savings due to its durability and lower maintenance costs.

Which bending machines do you use?

We use advanced CNC bending machines equipped with storage systems and hanging lines. The storage systems allow us to load larger quantities of tubes and run the machine unattended, which increases our productivity and ensures a more efficient production process.

Our hanging lines ensure that bent tubes and wires are neatly and organizedly discharged. This minimizes the risk of damage and ensures a smooth flow of the production process.

What are the costs of robotic welding?

The costs of robotic welding vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the project, the materials used, and the time required.

How does spot welding work?

The process involves applying pressure and heat to the welding area using copper electrodes that direct an electric current through the pieces to be welded. The current causes the metal to melt at the contact points, fusing the pieces together. This creates a strong, reliable bond between the materials.

Which materials can be bent?

At Steco, we can bend a variety of materials, including stainless steel, steel, aluminum, brass, and galvanized metal.

What is the maximum profile thickness?

The maximum profile thickness that we can cut with our tube laser machine is 4 mm. This allows us to process a wide range of materials and applications.

What colors and finishes are possible with powder coating?

At Steco, we can achieve almost any color and finish, from matte and glossy to textured coatings. Our powder coating line offers a wide range of possibilities to meet the specific requirements of our customers.

Can complex geometries be cut with tube laser cutting?

Yes, tube laser cutting allows for the creation of complex geometries and patterns that are difficult to achieve with traditional methods. However, when cutting large geometries, there is a possibility of micro-joint residue being left behind.

What are the advantages of wire and tube bending?

It offers high precision, efficiency, and the ability to create complex shapes, saving both time and costs.

What types of products can be assembled?

At Steco, we can assemble a wide range of products, from small components to larger rear carriers. Our flexibility allows us to meet the specific needs of various industries.

What are the benefits of spot welding?

Spot welding provides strong and durable connections, is fast and efficient, and does not require filler material.

How does the powder coating process work?

The process consists of four main stages:

  • Pre-treatment: The surface is cleaned and prepared for coating.
  • Powder application: The powder is applied electrostatically to the surface.
  • Heating: The coated object is placed in an oven to melt the powder and cure it.
  • Cooling: The object is cooled down and ready for use.

What are the benefits of in-house assembly?

By handling assembly in-house, we can better control and ensure quality and precision. This also allows us to respond more quickly to changes and adjustments in the project, enabling us to provide cost-effective solutions.

What type of welding can the robots at Steco perform?

Our welding robots are capable of performing MIG/MAG welding.

What packaging materials are used?

We use a variety of packaging materials, including cardboard, foam, and plastic, to ensure that the products are well-protected. We select the most suitable materials based on the specific requirements and specifications of the project.

Is powder coating suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, powder coatings are highly suitable for outdoor use because they are very resistant to UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and moisture. They provide long-lasting protection and aesthetics for outdoor surfaces.

How are welding robots programmed?

Welding robots are programmed using specialized software where the desired welding paths and parameters are input. This can be done manually or by reading CAD drawings.

Is tube laser cutting environmentally friendly?

At Steco, we use oxygen for cutting materials, which is an environmentally friendly choice compared to nitrogen. This contributes to our efforts to implement sustainable and eco-friendly production processes.

What diameters can be bent?

We can bend wires with a diameter ranging from 3 to 8 mm and tubes with a diameter ranging from 10 to 28 mm.

What are the benefits of robotic welding?

  • Precision and consistency: Robots deliver high levels of accuracy, ensuring consistent quality in every weld.
  • Increased efficiency: Robots work faster, reducing production time and improving overall productivity.

Which materials can be cut at Steco?

Common materials include steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

How durable is powder coating?

Powder coating is highly durable and provides long-lasting protection against wear and corrosion. It is more environmentally friendly than traditional painting methods because it produces less waste and is free from harmful solvents.

Do you also offer welding and post-processing services?

Yes, in addition to bending, we also offer services such as robotic welding, spot welding, and powder coating.

How precise is tube laser cutting?

Tube laser cutting offers very high accuracy, with precision up to 0.2 mm.

Which materials can be spot welded?

At Steco, spot welding is applied to steel components.

How long does it take to set up a welding robot for a new project?
