DEVELOPMENT

Faccin expands its offer: bending rolls become with pre-bending (CI series), 4 rolls (4CI series), with hydraulically controlled movements (HCI series). 2-roll bending rolls are added with rubber roll (HCU series), 3-roll variable geometry (HAV series), pipe bending machines (CPF series), dished head production lines (BF – PPM series).

Year

'80

RESEARCH

Keeping abreast with new market demands, Faccin seeks new solutions in the field of automation of production processes. The angle rolls evolve into the RCM and RCMI series (with universal rolls)..

Year

'90

INNOVATION

To increase the precision and reliability of plate bending rolls and improve their competitiveness on the market, innovative technologies are applied: EPS, electronically synchronised rolls parallelism system – MCS, multi-bearing system – CNC, numerical control with automatic calculation of the working cycle and control of various interlocks such as controlled axes.

Year

2000

CONSOLIDATION

The company continues on the path of growth and innovation: Taurus angle rolls are produced for bending large beams; the CNC becomes an instrument integrated in the computer network; Teleservice is introduced for web-based after sales customer service..
