Case Study: Sogefi achieves rapid design-to-commissioning of an infrared welding machine in under 7 weeks with Vention

Sogefi - Customer Case Study

Sogefi, a global leader in automotive filtration and plastic components, needed to design, assemble and program an automated infrared welding machine—capable of housing three independent linear actuators and an integrated heating system with high precision and repeatability—within a seven-week window. They engaged Vention, using Vention’s MachineBuilder for rapid design/quoting and the MachineMotion pendant (with MachineLogic) for commissioning and programming.

Vention’s application engineers accelerated the design and validation process and the MachineMotion pendant allowed Sogefi engineers to deploy automation sequences with the visual MachineLogic editor; a digital I/O module integrated the heating system. The project delivered strong measurable efficiencies: design took 4 hours, assembly 13 hours, commissioning 8 hours, equipment cost $10,000 USD, and the initial design/quote phase was streamlined to one week—enabling Sogefi to meet its timeline and performance requirements.
