“We are very satisfied with the product quality of the portable MeteCNC Reaming Machine delivered by Metecno, as well as the quality of the company’s operations. Thanks to the machine, both productivity and occupational safety improved significantly.”

Posiva Oy
Metecno Oy has designed, manufactured and installed a robotic machining station at Posiva Oy’s spent nuclear fuel encapsulation plant. The machining station consists of a custom-built, robot-operated CNC-controlled machining centre that ensures the dimensions and surface quality of the fuel capsules to be disposed of in ONKALO®.
The MeteCNC® special purpose machine grinds out any unevenness left in the capsule during welding, after which the station performs an inspection on the dimensions and surface quality of the capsule. The robot handles other auxiliary tasks in the process, such as handling NDT measuring devices and vacuuming milled chips. In practice, the machining station performs an important step in the capsule disposal process, as only capsules with a completely defect-free surface can be lowered into ONKALO®.
Konecranes Finland Oy
Based on the MetePRE® pre-design, Metecno implemented a complete robot cell for Konecranes, comprising two robots and machine vision systems, a MeteMAN® Assembly Press and MeteMAN® Component Dispenser.
MeteMAN® Assembly Cell met the customer’s demanding need for a shaft assembly. The problem was to more efficiently assemble gears and bearings onto shafts in a way that would work with the existing FM system and result in a consistent product. Since there was a need for several assemblies of different sizes, successful recipe played a key role in ensuring the efficient operation of the cell.
The robotic cell is carefully protected by protective walls and light curtains, and controlled by the MeteMAN® user interface for a great user experience. The assembly cell produces a finished assembly and has thus taken the customer’s production to a new level.
“Metecno’s Assembly Rotator makes the assembly of heavy screw units truly ergonomic and efficient. Assembly times have decreased significantly, and since the machine enforces every work phase, the quality is also consistent.
I would like to give special praise for how the so-called ITP documentation is handled. Measured data is now seamlessly transferred to databases as a natural part of the assembly work, and nothing needs to be written on paper anymore. It enables straightforward, consistent assembly work where the potential for human error has been minimized through automation.”

“Our partnership started back in 2020 with the MeteMAN® Assembly Base, which immediately proved to be of the highest quality. Personally, I found that now we for the first time had a special purpose machine in the house that looked like a “factory-made machine”!
The next two automation projects have been easy to start, as I already know when ordering that Metecno’s solution will meet Ingersoll Rand’s needs. The second project, a test run facility, allowed us to move a completely new type of product manufacturing to Finland, and now provides our group with a whole new level of production testing.
The latest solution, the MeteMAN® Assembly Rotator, follows the formula I have learned from Mete special purpose machines: the machine streamlines the work, offers good work ergonomics and reduces and stabilises manufacturing costs. As the collaboration with Metecno’s designers has been fruitful and smooth, I am confident that our partnership will continue in future projects.”

“The CNC Laser Welding Machine manufactured by Metecno Oy modernised our laser welding process. Our production volume is now significantly higher and products are welded cost-effectively.
We had already implemented laser welding in the past, but I wanted to further develop our production with a partner that was recommended to us. So, together with Metecno, we started to implement a laser welding machine according to our own specifications, which was not available anywhere else in the world. Manufacturing a unique CNC machine presented challenges, but Metecno always found solutions.
Based on this machine project, I can sum up Metecno Oy as a technically advanced machine manufacturer with a solid understanding of how to solve the customer’s machine needs.”

“We ordered the MeteCNC® Welding Disc Lathe to improve the quality level of our welding discs. It has proven to be a high quality CNC special purpose machine that produces consistent quality welding discs and meets our production needs day after day.
The overall delivery of Metecno was a great success. Although it was a complete product, the minor modifications we requested were successfully tailored and the commissioning went smoothly.
The machine has now been in intensive operation for almost a year and the user experience has been good. The switch from manual turning of discs to Metecno’s automated special purpose machine has improved the quality level of our welding discs and increased the uptime of our production.”

“We needed a special purpose machine to assemble the parts in a fully automated production cell where the part is handled by robots. The precision requirements for the assembly were challenging, but innovative ideas from Metecno’s designers didn’t run out and the collaboration worked really smoothly.
We also received added features to the machine without asking them that have proven useful. Thanks to this special purpose machine, the quality of the assembly can now be monitored even in unmanned driving.
The most positive thing was that Metecno’s interest in the project didn’t end with the delivery of the machine with the appropriate documentation, but the company remained involved in the cooperation until the end, finalising the cell to work. As a service provider, Metecno responded well to our need for a total delivery that meets the requirements of the standards, which few suppliers are able to do.”

“As Metecno’s first customer, we have been ordering various solutions from them since 2008. During this time, Metecno’s solutions have worked as promised from mechanics to automation, and collaboration in solution design has been smooth.
For example, the modernisation of the winding machine that was important to us fulfilled all the goals we set for the project. In the past, we couldn’t produce enough high-quality material, but thanks to modernisation by Metecno, the rewinding machine is now very accurate and produces high quality material.
Of particular benefit to us is the opportunity they offer to add new features to our machines along the way as our needs change, which have also been used successfully. With long experience, I know that Metecno’s expertise is extensive and reliable, so it’s easy to believe in the next solution too. I highly recommend them to others.”

“HIT-NORDIC needed to modernise the old production machine because the control system was outdated and its operation was unreliable. We a for suggestions from a few companies, but the solution presented by Metecno was well thought-out and better than what we had first thought.
We got what we wanted from Metecno, and now we have a machine that is reliable in operation and maintenance, with excellent machining accuracy. In retrospect, the focus remains on how carefully Metecno listened to our wishes and genuinely thought about our needs in search of the best possible solution.”
