In addition to a few machines from the early days, investments were also made in MIG\/MAG welding equipment, a CNC sawing line and a modern punching and shearing machine, among other things.<br><br>For a long time, this punching and shearing machine was central to the sheet metal work, but it increasingly became a bottleneck.<br><br>\u2018In 2023, we reached a tipping point,\u2019 explains Mallens. \u2018The products became more complex and we had to outsource cutting work more and more often.

Manuals in Chinese, unclear software&#8230; That didn&#8217;t give us confidence.\u2019<br><br>The deciding factor came via references from their own network. Both a cutting partner and another supplier of Mallens were already working with Wouters Cutting &amp; Welding.<br><br>\u2018That gave us confidence.

The speed and accuracy are impressive. Parts are cut in a single operation, including holes and recesses that we used to punch, and completely burr-free. Post-processing is often no longer necessary.\u2019\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-676cdfd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"676cdfd\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f2935a4\" data-id=\"f2935a4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a0ded1 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1a0ded1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/wcw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2024-08-21_WCW_AJK-34-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7821\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wcw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2024-08-21_WCW_AJK-34-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wcw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2024-08-21_WCW_AJK-34-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wcw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2024-08-21_WCW_AJK-34-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wcw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2024-08-21_WCW_AJK-34-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wcw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2024-08-21_WCW_AJK-34-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05f4cd3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05f4cd3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWouters Cutting &amp; Welding was responsible for the complete installation and commissioning of the machine.

Mallens also immediately invested in a vacuum lifting device to load plates safely and efficiently.<br><br>\u2018Nesting is done in the office, but there is direct contact with the workshop via an app,\u2019 explains Mallens. \u2018Operators can also easily recall previous programmes with LiveControl, even to utilise residual material. That makes us extremely flexible.\u2019<br><br>For Mallens, the choice of WCW was not just a technological decision.<br><br>\u2018I am very satisfied with the compact, fast and accurate machine,\u2019 concludes Mallens. \u2018But just as important is the service.
