Amidst the national push for intelligent manufacturing and the digital transformation of the industrial sector, the spirit of craftsmanship is no longer confined to the dedication of skilled artisans—it has evolved into a hardcore technology that “embeds craftsmanship into machines.” This is precisely how LAG^® interprets craftsmanship in the new era. Recently, the “14th Five-Year Plan for Intelligent Manufacturing” continues to release favorable policies, with industrial robots and intelligent production lines becoming the core drivers of manufacturing upgrades. Building upon a century of Italian technological heritage and enhanced through localized innovation in China, LAG^® is establishing itself as a benchmark force for intelligent manufacturing in the sheet metal processing field.

I. From a Century of Italian Craftsmanship to a Benchmark of Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing: The Heritage and Breakthrough of LAG^®

The story of LAG^® began in 1960 with the sheet metal processing legacy of the Gessi family in Italy. Over more than half a century, its press brakes and shearing machines have gained global renown for their “reliable performance and exceptional quality,” with sales exceeding ten thousand units. In 2013, Mr. Xia Xing, founder of LAG Machine Tool, acquired the LAG brand in full, initiating a localization journey of “Italian technology + Chinese intelligent manufacturing.” This included establishing a production base in Shandong with an investment of over 100 million yuan, enabling the domestic production of high-end sheet metal equipment; acquiring Italian Lenox Technology in 2014 to integrate the entire chain of “R&D – manufacturing – service”; and by 2025, securing more than 200 patents and receiving dozens of honors such as “High-Tech Enterprise” and “AAA Credit Enterprise,” solidifying its reputation as a recognized “name card for high-end machine tool manufacturing in China.”

II. Core Intelligent Manufacturing Units: Encoding "Artisan Skills" into Intelligent Productivity

LAG^® transforms the "artisan experience" of sheet metal processing into robotic code, launching a series of intelligent processing units that perfectly align with policy demands for "flexible and intelligent production lines":

1. RBC Robotic Bending Cell: Change production without teaching; the first piece is a perfect product.
Utilizing core algorithm software for "synchronous following + dynamic compensation," bending accuracy achieves closed-loop control. Paired with the ALL4ONE integrated master control system, it automatically generates tasks and starts processing with one click, while also interfacing with MES/ERP systems for seamless factory digital management. From the ECO-RBC-GB60 to the GPS640, multiple models cover diverse processing needs, supporting non-standard customization and perfectly adapting to flexible production scenarios characterized by "high variety, low volume."

2. RWC Robotic Welding Cell: Vision tracking + digital twin for zero-defect welding quality.
Equipped with a visual weld seam tracking system and a disassembly/welding navigation system, combined with digital twin technology for real-time process monitoring, it maximizes both welding precision and efficiency. Adaptable to multiple processes from MAG to laser welding, and integrated with the ALL4ONE master control, it provides "unmanned welding" solutions for industries like construction machinery and automotive components.

3. Laser Cutting + Punching/Shearing Combination Unit: Intelligent sorting + lights-out factory, doubling efficiency is within reach.The gantry-type robot intelligent sorting laser cutting unit uses an "octopus" multi-functional gripper for sorting and palletizing in multiple scenarios. The integrated loading/unloading device handles both feeding and remnant removal simultaneously. The RSPC punching/shearing combination unit, through a modular automation system, achieves full-process unmanned operation including punching, shearing, sorting, and stacking, meeting the ultimate efficiency requirements of a "lights-out factory."

III. Digital Smart Factory: The "Future of Sheet Metal Processing" Under Policy Momentum

As "smart factories" become a key phrase in manufacturing upgrades, LAG^®'s digital smart factory solution directly addresses industry pain points: it connects multi-process robotic units through a sheet material warehouse and AGV logistics system, seamlessly interfaces with MES orders via the ALL4ONE master control system, and automatically generates and initiates production tasks with one click. Each unit operates independently yet collaboratively, supporting full automation while retaining the flexibility of manual mode, perfectly adapting to diverse needs from "small-batch customization" to "large-scale production."

IV. Ride the Policy Tailwind, Embark on a New Intelligent Journey with LAG^®

From "Made in China 2025" to the "14th Five-Year Plan" for Intelligent Manufacturing, national support for industrial robots and intelligent production lines continues to intensify. With the innovative philosophy of "embedding the artisan into the machine," LAG^® transforms a century of Italian craftsmanship into replicable intelligent productivity, assisting hundreds of enterprises across dozens of industries—including elevators, building curtain walls, and construction machinery—in completing their digital transformation.

Now is the critical moment for sheet metal processing enterprises to seize policy dividends and embrace intelligent manufacturing. Connect with LAG^® and let the powerful solution of "Italian craftsmanship + Chinese intelligent technology" become the "accelerator" for your factory upgrade.
