Decoling
Pabar has its own de-coiling facility, and has led to the use of five fully automated feeder line decoiling installations which process coils into sheet steel.
The decoiling lines process coils from 1 mm up to and including 4 mm, with maximum widths of 1225 mm. The lines can process 5-tonne coils.
Small Press Shop
Pabar has a variety of mechanical and hydraulic presses ranging from 30 tonnes to 150 tonnes.
Welding Assembly
MIG / MAG (Co2) Robotic welding assembly line for safety critical components.
Roll Forming
Pabar has its own de-coiling facility, and has led to the use of five fully automated feeder line decoiling installations which process coils into sheet steel.

Specialized Automation Systems (Lights manufacturing):
Pabar also keeps up with technology and has invested in specialized automation systems.
Designed technology for the automatic wiring of standard components, this developed into a series to suit various client requirements.
Most recently developed and produced to enable considerably more complex process steps to be carried out, including an automatic final testing of the light fitting.
Finally a modular system which is usually designed to meet individual requirements for complex assembly lines with high production volumes and throughput rates.
