Automotive
SECM-GT International has always maintained a direct link with the automotive industry, which remains our main sector of activity . Over the years, we have evolved from being a subcontractor for spare parts to machinery suppliers for Tier One Suppliers. We have been designing machines for over 50 years, thus attesting to our expertise and commitment in the field.
Aesthetic Parts
Our stretch-bending expertise allows us to manufacture parts such as: Outerbelts, Roof Racks, Roof Ditch Moldings, Glass Run Channels, and more.
Structural Parts
Stretch bending of front and rear bumpers (impact management system).
We also make assembly lines and turnkey work cells for robotic welding.
Benders
Since our beginnings in the automotive industry, we have stood out due to our bending expertise.
Vertical Bender
Designed for small productions, this equipment is designed for frequent interchangeability, with a rapid changeover time of 45 minutes.
Horizontal Bender
This equipment is designed to accommodate larger-scale productions with less frequent production changes, featuring a changeover time of 2 hours.
12-Axis Bender
Equipped with 12 simultaneous axes, this equipment is ideal for manufacturing larger and more complex parts , offering maximum flexibility for varied shapes.
Customizable section
We offer flexible and versatile solutions, ranging from adaptable machine subassemblies for various projects and types of parts to fully automated production cells.
Transfer Bench
Carrying out all necessary cuts and trims ensures the precision and quality of the finished parts.
Assembly
Parts can be assembled in either an automated or robotic process, depending on the complexity of the components and required cycle time.
Inspection
Inspection of finished parts includes checking various aspects such as length, clips, components, etc.
This inspection can be carried out via physical probes, cameras or profilometers
From small machine segments to production supported from A to Z
We offer flexible and versatile solutions, ranging from machine sub-assemblies adaptable to various projects and part types, to fully automated cells
