These machines are specifically designed and supplied for the manufacture and fabrication of components in the shipbuilding, train carriage, and caravan industries.

The RVP system redefines flexibility and productivity in railway car production. This advanced robotised line is engineered for side walls, roofs, underframes, and long beams, setting a new standard for car body manufacturing. The RVP line integrates a variety of technologies and solutions, ensuring unmatched quality, flexibility, and performance without compromising the final welded product.

This highly automated line can seamlessly switch between different laser technologies within the same production process, including Pure Laser Welding, Laser Cold Wire Welding, Hybrid Laser Arc Welding (HLAW), and Laser Cutting. It excels in producing complex plates by joining materials with varying thicknesses, shapes, and characteristics.

Key features include online seam tracking for non-linear welds, automatic laser head changes, algorithm-driven welding parameter adjustments, magnetic welding jigs, and comprehensive welding reports with video documentation. The system’s core boasts four laser heads connected to a fibre laser source, covering a maximum area of 3.5 x 20 meters, and includes a laser cutting head for complete processing. Productivity is further enhanced by easy-to-use magnetic welding jigs controlled via a tablet. Castellini offers a complete process solution, from storing semi-finished products to inspecting finished pieces, ensuring seamless integration and efficiency throughout the production line.
