Bobcat Company, renowned manufacturer of compact equipment, is increasing its production capacity at its Gwinner, North Dakota, USA facility, with AP&T's help. A new, highly automated tandem press line, which recently began production, is expected to more than double press production capabilities, reduce energy consumption, lower noise levels and improve complex forming for sheet metal parts, all of which will help meet the increasing demand for Bobcat equipment.

全球著名的紧凑型设备制造商：山猫公司，通过与AP&T合作，正在扩大其位于美国北达科他州格温纳工厂的产能。目前已经投入使用一条全新、全自动化串联压力机生产线，预计可将产能提高到原有的两倍以上，同时还能降低能源消耗、减少噪音并改善金属零件的复杂成形，所有这些都将有助于满足山猫设备日益增长的需求。

“This investment will provide us with new capabilities and efficiencies in our metal stamping operations, and it also aligns with our commitment to innovation, sustainability and continued investments in our manufacturing footprint,” said Mike Ballweber, president of Doosan Bobcat North America.

“这项投资将为我们的金属冲压业务提供新的产能和效率，与我们对创新、可持续发展以及在制造业领域持续投资的承诺相一致。”斗山（Doosan）山猫北美总裁Mike Ballweber表示。

The new line includes AP&T's energy-efficient servohydraulic press and automation. The assignment also includes line integration, operator training and support.

新生产线包括AP&T节能伺服液压机和自动化设备，此外还涵盖生产线的集成、操作培训和技术支持。

“Bobcat is one of the first companies in North America to invest in the future by implementing this automated solution using our new press technology,” said Dr. Christian Koroschetz, chief sales officer of AP&T Group. “This investment also supports Bobcat’s interest in pursuing sustainable, energy-efficient manufacturing solutions.”

“山猫是北美首批采用我们的新压力机技术以及采用自动化解决方案来进行前瞻性投资的公司之一，践行了山猫追求可持续发展且节能的制造理念，”AP&T集团销售总监Christian Koroschetz博士说道。

The new AP&T servohydraulic press is 70 percent more energy efficient than a conventional AP&T hydraulic press. The press also provides increased productivity and superior forming capabilities, which enables the pressing of more intricate and complex designed parts, along with shorter cycle times.

AP&T全新的伺服液压机比其传统的液压机节能率高达70%，还具有更高的生产效率和更卓越的成形能力，这也意味着可以用更短的生产节拍冲压设计更为复杂的零件。

Bobcat first became aware of the new press technology through a relationship with Wisconsin-based TCR Integrated Stamping Systems, a leading equipment manufacturer consultant and system provider for the metal forming industry.

山猫最初是通过与总部位于威斯康星州的TCR 集成冲压系统公司的合作了解到这种新的压力机技术，TCR是金属成型行业领先的设备制造顾问和系统提供商。

“While visiting AP&T in Sweden, I was introduced to their latest automation breakthrough and knew it would provide a significant advancement for Bobcat. In addition, AP&T also demonstrated their new servohydraulic technology. Its unique capabilities had clear application for the Gwinner facility and is consistent with Bobcat’s sustainability goals,” said Todd Wenzel, president of TCR.

“在访问AP&T瑞典公司时，我们了解到其最新的自动化技术突破，并肯定它能为山猫提供显著的提升。此外，AP&T还展示了他们的新型伺服液压技术，它独特的性能明显适用于格温纳工厂，并符合山猫的可持续发展战略。” TCR总裁Todd Wenzel说道。

For AP&T North America, the commissioning of the new line is an important milestone in a successful collaboration.

对于AP&T北美公司来说，新生产线的投入使用是成功合作的一个重要里程碑。

"Bobcat has bestowed enormous trust in us and we will do our best to maintain it in our role as One Responsible Partner®," says Troy Hamilton, regional sales manager, AP&T North America.

“山猫给予了我们极大的信任，而我们也会尽全力践行“可靠的合作伙伴”理念，”AP&T 北美区域销售经理 Troy Hamilton说道。
