In addition to specialized Employees and top engineering and industrialization work, MCG Automotive constantly applies technological innovation in all its production projects.

An example of this is the recent investment in robotic cost-effective and high-performance processes in the lines of a production project for chassis and suspension components of a high-volume automotive platform.

Leveraging manufacturing technologies in which MCG specializes – stamping, cold forging, robotic MAG welding, machining, coating -, a high-performance automated manufacturing ecosystem has been developed, accompanied by meticulous quality control and traceability for each unit produced:

  1. This system is applicable to large-scale production, using Data Matrix recording technology and incoming readers at the entrance of each workstation. An “identity card” is generated for each piece produced.
  2. Between welding stations and other elements of the production line, there are advanced machining centers that apply complementary processes to stamped and welded parts.
  3. The entire production chain is based on full automation between welding stations (top-of-the-range Panasonic welding cells) to avoid human errors and ensure maximum safety rates.
  4. Quality control of the welded joint that aims to reduce the number of tests/destructive tests to 100%. It works in conjunction with a weld penetration analysis system (macrography).
