The benefits of combined levelling and deburring operations on a single production line for a German manufacturer are chronicled on page 38.

Don’t forget to read our research news section on page 16, with the latest new and collaborative worldwide initiatives and funding opportunities. One of the most widely used processes in sheet metal forming, deep drawing, is highlighted on page 42, and we present a selection of the latest stamping technologies, tooling and press innovations on page 46 of this issue. Robotic welding also comes under the spotlight in this issue.
