Among the automotive company manufactures in Spain belonging to Autoparts from Spain, we can feature the manufacturers of workshop equipment and car tools.
The wide range of workshop equipment and car tools which go from testing and verification equipment, brake diagnosis equipment - also known as opacimeters- to tools such as hydraulic extractors or manual riveting machines. We can also find car die devices, an essential item for car manufacturing.
One of these manufacturers of workshop equipment and car tools belonging to Autoparts from Spain is the Spanish automotive component manufacturer Gestamp. This multinational Spanish manufacturer is specialized in metal component’s design, development and manufacturing for the main car manufacturers. Their products include areas of car body, chassis and mechanisms
Also, this company has internal capacities for developing and manufacturing dies which gathers up the whole value chain: design, mechanizing, building, tuning, prototyping and follow-up.
Die-cut, process also known as stamping, is the procedure in which the sheet goes under a specific transformations, with no sawdust, aimed to get geometric-shaped pieces.
Working with the die requires a presses device -hydraulic or mechanic-, generally with a reciprocating rectilinear motion. They are the ones in charge of creating the necessary force to perform the cut, the staffing or the punching.
Materials or components which usually go through this type of mechanic process are the sheet metal which in our case refers to mechanical-material sheets. The majority of automotive car-body profiles are generated from them by using progressive die-cuts and presses.
Dies are divided into three categories
Thanks to die production from manufacturers of workshop equipment and car tools, multiple staffing and stamping tasks can be carried out:
All before-mentioned allows car body manufacturers to make up these components which today are not only made to build the vehicle interior but also as an item to increase car features and also reduce pollution emissions thanks to a greater aerodynamism, light weight or car-interior efficiency.
The relevance of car bodies relating safety, comfortability, consumption, cost and image is the reason why today we count on with sophisticated design and manufacturing processes.
This type of car body is made of a rigid chassis unto which mechanical parts are incorporated together with the car body structure. In this way, the chassis will hold up the engine, the transmission and also the weight.
The Independent chassis body is one of the oldest ones. Vehicles using this type of frames today are: all terrain, buses, trucks, RVs and glass-fiber car-body vehicles
This is the dominant one for turismos today. This car body is formed by several parts joined by resistance welding points. It makes the substitution be easier
It is the sheet which holds up the vehicle structure in this car-body type. The pieces help each other to bring even more rigidity.
The Spanish industry of automotive components in general plays a very meaningful role in the automotive world globally
The Spanish automotive component manufacturers are present in more than 170 countries with exports that represent more than half of their billing figures..
Immersed in this context, the Spanish automotive component manufacturers have a decisive influence in the vehicle’s value chain with around 75% participation in the car total.
This international expansion of the Spanish industry of components and equipment is a reality thanks to the high productivity and quality of the Spanish automotive component suppliers, their highly-qualified human asset and it outstanding I+D investment together with their intense commitment with environmental sustainability.
From Autoparts from Spain, we support with an intense commitment the “made in Spain” component sector and gather many of those manufacturers in our platform. Those who best represent the Spanish branding (Marca España) of automotive component manufacturing.
Presence at international events not only boosts brand positioning, but also market diversification. One example is the outstanding participation of Autoparts from Spain in Automechanika Dubai, one of the most important trade fairs in the international automotive industry. This participation positions the initiative as a benchmark of excellence in the global automotive industry and promotes the image of Spain as a country with a high quality and reliable automotive industry.
Between January and April 2023 exports of Spanish automotive components and equipment reached €9,028 million which is a +26.2%, inter-annual growth rate, which reflects the dynamism shown by the sector’s sales abroad.
