Laser sheet cutting
Nanni Ottavio uses state-of-the-art laser cutting machines to ensure maximum precision in laser cutting.
The latest system installed highlights the company’s commitment to an efficient production flow, extending beyond laser cutting and integrating an automated warehouse with 300 drawers, an automated loading/unloading system, and an innovative sorting system for retrieving cut pieces.
Thanks to two manipulators equipped with suction cups and magnets, the cut pieces are immediately available, eliminating the need for manual separation. Each manipulator handles thicknesses between 0.5 and 12 mm and up to 65 kg, with double the capacity when working in tandem.
The 360° rotation of the manipulators allows for picking up any piece, without geometric constraints, with minimum dimensions of 100×200 mm. The multigripping function further accelerates the sorting process.
The company continuously invests in training to optimize resource utilization and ensure production excellence.

Bending of laser-cut sheet metal
Iron, stainless steel, and aluminum, expertly bent to perfection
The bending of laser-cut sheet metal is a crucial process in metalworking. It is a cold deformation technique that enables specific shapes to be achieved while maintaining the integrity of the material, using press brakes that apply controlled force along the bending line. Laser technology has greatly simplified the cutting of complex geometries, allowing designers to incorporate more bends to reduce subsequent welding operations. However, more complex pieces require longer setup times.
Nanni Ottavio excels in sheet metal bending thanks to continuous investments in cutting-edge technology: press brakes with angle control, automatic tooling, and offline programming with CAM. The expertise of our operators, combined with our Technical Office, has established shared standards that ensure accurate flat development, guaranteeing precision and quality from the very first piece. By understanding material shrinkage and behavior in relation to bending tools, we can produce within the required tolerances.
Innovation in the bending process
The new Amada press brake, equipped with automatic tool changing, enables rapid setup, making it ideal for small batches with frequent retooling requirements.
The latest press brake, installed in 2023, is a technological powerhouse designed to enhance efficiency in bending small batches of 1 to 20 pieces. Equipped with CAM for office programming, an integrated tool storage with automatic setup, two sensors for angle control, and a piece-supporting system, this press brake makes the process more efficient and less demanding for the operator. In extreme cases, it allows interruption of a batch, setup change, and automatic resumption of the previous batch without difficulty. Furthermore, it ensures compliant parts from the very first piece, a crucial requirement for single-batch production, eliminating rework or overproduction.
Well-executed bending minimizes unnecessary waste in subsequent processes.
Innovation in the bending process
Smart technologies for sustainable bending: flexibility, efficiency and Industry 4.0 quality
The innovation and digitalization project of production processes involves the acquisition of a CNC press brake, complete with accessories, and an integrated CAD/CAM VPSS 4ie software. The initiative is designed to support the digital transition of the company, increasing its level of technological maturity while also fostering competitive growth. The introduction of smart solutions in the bending process improves operational flexibility, production efficiency, and result quality, within a framework of sustainable development and Industry 4.0 innovation.
Polisher / Satin Finisher
Finish, round the edges, and satin the surfaces of the sheet metal.
Nanni Ottavio has introduced an advanced machine for the grinding, finishing, and satin finishing of metals. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to work on edges, borders, and surfaces with extreme precision, ensuring perfect roundings and high-quality finishes. This process ensures that sheet metal components are not only functional but also aesthetically flawless, meeting the highest manufacturing standards.
