Assembly automation:
Reproducible
quality

Our solutions for assembly automation are as individual as your tasks. We can press, fasten, screw, or coat when necessary. Our solutions always increase the efficiency of your production, and they deploy employees precisely where flexibility and tact are required. We combine fully automatic stations with semi-automatic and ergonomically designed manual workstations to form complete assembly systems. The focus is always on productivity and reproducible quality with a zero-error rate.

Individual automation solutions for your assembly

Together with our customers, we design a modular overall concept from individual components that effectively combines your assembly processes. The traceability of all assembly steps and reproducibility are crucial customer requirements for assembly applications in all industries. We also implement assembly lines for component families and multi-variant assembly and link them to your higher-level MES and ERP systems.

We would be happy to show you successfully implemented examples of our assembly automation.

TECHNICAL DATA | DETAILS
