A combined sheet/tube laser cutting system enables Marchesi & C to be quick and flexible in their response to customers’ demands. INSPIRED FOR TUBE The Sub-Contractor From client perception to prototype Marchesi & C srl are among the most qualified manufacturers of low volume automotive chassis in Italy. The Modenese company has been manufacturing chassis for all the most prestigious Italian cars since 1965 including Lamborghini (from Miura through to Countach) with whom they have a very close relationship, BMW M1, the Lancia Stratos E037, De Tomaso, Pantera, Pagani Automobili, Ferrari and Maserati. They have constructed over 20,000 chassis either in aluminium or steel, in sheet or tube. Labour saving and well researched methods Today, the field of automotive chassis has been transformed with a reduction in manufacturing problems from this increased benefits in more varied production modern-day solutions. “The experience acquired, “Signor Marchesi states,” has put us at the cutting edge, both in our continued cooperation with the automobile manufacturers and in the problems they face. Overall, the most fundamental aspect of our work is in converting our clients ideas into pro- Three dimensional detail of the complex Snow Cat framework. 10

The basis for this is the visual and mental capacity of Marchesi technicians to produce the most adaptable labour saving methods possible, whilst forming a real design-partnership with the automotive manufacturers, thereby creating the undoubted benefits in quality and production cost reductions. Associated with BLM GROUP since 1985 Marchesi & C have had a long relationship with BLM, employing their laser technology in 1985 when they installed the first laser sheet cutting system. This has recently been replaced with an innovative combined laser system for sheet and tube - ADILAS 2 “This new system has enabled us to be very speedy and flexible in our response to our clients, “said Signor Bonara, “also improving the product precision and repeatability, the machined profiles are much more defined and production time for the chassis are significantly reduced”. A genuine compromise Marchesi & C now have two ADILAS 2 systems installed, processing flat sheet, tube and sections. But how significant to them is it to have a hybrid system rather than systems, dedicated to tube or sheet. “It’s a matter of flexibility”, stated Marchesi. “Looking at it, we see the best possible com- Some Prinoth/Leitner completely assembled chassis. promise - in one operation cutting tube and then, if needed, using the system for cutting sheet. To us, the ADILAS 2 represents the best possible solution to our particular needs”. First experience with “the Cat” The frame of the “Snow Cat” produced by Prinoth/Leitner was an important and relevant production experience for Marchesi. They used a laser to cut the tubular structure and were able to achieve real benefits in cutting high precision profiles. They had previously faced considerable difficulties in machining thick wall tubes in tough materials. Numerous components were either plasma cut or sawn involving, long cycle times, the cleaning up of each part manually, and poor accuracy and repeatability. Marchesi & C is an extremely good example of a company that has integrated high technology applications, in an innovative way, without losing sight of their production imperative. “We don’t want to lose our creation of real added value coupled to our wealth of experience gained over 50 years of production. The basis of all our work is to be inventive and to understand and satisfy our customers’ needs.
