4.1. PRODUCTION PROCESS OF THE
DW-2 CUBICLES AT NEVELE

The DW-2 system is the result of a combination of mod-
ern design technologies and economical, ergonomic and
environmentally friendly production processes.

It all starts in the design department where your draw-
ings will be customized via CAD applications. As soon
as the drawings are approved, production can start. SGC
- SwitchGear Company’s steel plate department works
with the most modern machinery, programmed by a CAD/
CAM system.

The automated laser, punch and pleating section can
truly be considered unique. Two ultra-fast punch-corner
cutting scissor machines are each provided with an auto-
matic loading and sorting system which sorts and saves
the items. “DW-2: modern tech-

nology & ergonomic,

ers ensure that the cubicles can be uniformly produced
as 100% user-friendly. eco-friendly production

After the laser and punch processing, several panels are processes...”
pleated on the fully automatic pleating bank, sorted and
possibly moved on to a CNC-operated welding robot. This
machine welds the fitting bolts and corners of the door

The doors are now subjected to a complete process
where they are degreased, stained, phosphated, passi-
vated and given an additional rinse with demineralised

oven at 200°C.
