Introduction: The manufacturing of heavy-duty truck chassis side members demands a rare combination of extreme force and surgical precision. As the global automotive market shifts toward higher output and automation, the need for reliable, high-performance punching equipment has never been greater. We are proud to highlight the strategic partnership between ASSEMA and Kaifeng CNC Machinery (KF)—a collaboration that brings world-class engineering and exclusive sales support to the international market.
A Strategic Alliance for Global Excellence
ASSEMA, with over 15 years of experience as a preferred supplier for leading European punching line manufacturers, has officially established a Joint Venture with Kaifeng CNC Machinery from Jinan, China. By combining ASSEMA’s deep background in R&D, machinery design, and international commissioning with KF’s manufacturing prowess, we are setting new benchmarks for the industry.
Kaifeng CNC Machinery, founded in 2012 by technology experts from the renowned Jinan Foundry And Metalforming Machinery Co., Ltd. (JEMMER), specializes in the design and production of automated punching equipment for medium and heavy truck chassis. Today, ASSEMA serves as the Exclusive Sales Agent for KF’s overseas truck markets, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and global demand.
Case Study: Supporting Global Leaders – The Metalsa Success Story
The true value of a punching line is proven on the factory floor of industry giants. KF has successfully established a strong footprint with Metalsa, a premier global truck chassis supplier with production plants in the USA, Mexico, and India.
The project involved a high-output 3D punching line equipped with 5 specialized presses. This system was designed to:
- Punch both flange and web holes in side members simultaneously.
- Maintain exceptionally high position accuracy across complex geometries.
- Optimize cycle times for high-volume automotive production.
Following the success of the initial installation, Metalsa signed a repeat order in early 2019 for a second punching line. This follow-up project incorporated even higher levels of automation, specifically tailored to Metalsa’s unique production workflows.
Technical Superiority at Economic Prices
Our goal is to open new frontiers for international side member producers. By integrating the same high-level automation found in our transformer core cutting lines and modernization services, ASSEMA and KF offer:
- High Output 3D Technology: Precise 5-press configurations for complete side member processing.
- Economic Efficiency: High-quality engineering at a price point that ensures a rapid ROI.
- Bespoke Automation: Every line is customized to the client’s specific material handling and punching requirements.
Conclusion (CTA):
The global trucking industry is evolving, and the race for more efficient chassis production is on. With the combined expertise of ASSEMA and Kaifeng CNC, manufacturers now have access to elite 3D punching technology with proven references.
