For industrial manufacturing processes

Placement Systems

We develop assembly and feeding systems that automatically feed, position, and transfer workpieces—ranging from individual units to fully automated systems.

Automated Workpiece Feeding

Series production and special-purpose machinery

A stable flow of materials is crucial for reproducible manufacturing processes. As soon as components are supplied in an uncontrolled manner or must be manually replenished, cycle time losses and process interruptions occur.
That is exactly why we develop custom assembly systems for industrial applications.
Our systems are designed for, among other things:
Automotive
Mechanical Engineering
Plastics Technology
Medical Technology
Energy & Drive Technology
Industrial Series Production
Depending on the application, we implement:
automatic feeding systems
Magazine Loader
Palletizer
Workpiece Storage
Pick-and-Place Systems
Robotic handling
Interlinked handling systems
In doing so, we take into account not only the actual feeding process, but also workpiece orientation, cycle time, component geometry, and integration into existing production lines.
Integrate Workpiece Handling in a Stable Manner

Automated Production Lines

In automated manufacturing, workpieces must be positioned with high precision and reproducibility. Especially when dealing with delicate or complex components, the feeding technology is critical to the stability of the entire process.
That is why we develop assembly systems that are precisely tailored to the workpiece, the production environment, and the material flow.

Our systems can be fully integrated into existing manufacturing processes—including robotics, PLC control, and automated process handoffs.
Methods used include, among others:
  • position-based feeding
  • Workpiece Separation
  • automatic component supply
  • Workpiece Transfers
  • Buffer Systems
  • Pick-and-Place Applications
  • servo-electric axes
  • Sensor-monitored feeding processes
Developing Placement Systems for Reliable Operations

Industrial Automation

Automated assembly must ensure consistently stable process flows—even with varying workpieces, high production volumes, or short cycle times. That is why we do not develop universal standard systems, but rather customized solutions for specific production processes.
Our assembly systems can integrate the following processes, among others:
  • Workpiece Feeding
  • Positioning
  • Component handling
  • Separation
  • Handover Processes
  • Magazine storage
  • Palletizing
  • Sensor-Based Process Monitoring
In addition, we integrate:
Workpiece Carrier Systems
Vision systems
HMI and visualization systems
Robotic handling
Process data acquisition
This results in feeding and handling processes that can be reliably integrated into industrial mass production.
Using Robotics for Assembly Processes

Robotic Cells and Automation

Complex manufacturing processes often require automated workpiece movement and defined transfer processes. That is why we combine placement systems with robotics and automated handling systems.
For example, our robot cells handle:
automatic workpiece feeding
Component handling
Pick-and-Place Processes
Workpiece positioning
Transfer to Subsequent Processes
Chaining of Multiple Production Steps
In doing so, we integrate servo-electric axes, sensors, camera technology, and PLC controls into a complete automation solution.
Many systems are designed specifically for high cycle rates or complex workpiece geometries, where manual feeding processes reach their limits.
Adapting Placement Systems to Production Conditions

Custom Feeding Systems

Every manufacturing operation has different requirements for workpiece handling, material flow, and equipment configuration. That is why we develop custom machines for automated assembly processes.
We do not produce universal, off-the-shelf solutions, but rather technical systems tailored to specific production conditions and manufacturing processes.
Our services in special-purpose machine building include:
  • Technical engineering and project planning
  • Concept Development
  • Design and Engineering
  • Electrical Planning
  • PLC Programming
  • Assembly
  • Commissioning
  • Upgrading Existing Systems
Storage, Palletizing, and Workpiece Handling

Project Examples in Feeding Technology

Many of our placement systems are designed for applications with high demands on cycle time, process stability, and workpiece handling.

Ensuring the Long-Term Flow of Materials

Quality Management 

Automated feeding processes must operate reliably over the long term. That is why, even during the development phase, we focus on service-friendly designs, stable cycle times, traceable process data, and maintenance-friendly system concepts.

This is complemented by operating and safety concepts, as well as technical documentation, to ensure long-term use in industrial production environments.
Even after commissioning, we continue to support our customers with technical support, system adjustments, and upgrades to existing placement systems.
Documenting Technical Standards

Certifications and Requirements

Depending on the industry and production environment, different requirements apply to material flow, documentation, and technical traceability.
We provide additional technical documentation and project-specific documentation based on the application and system design.
ISO 9001:2015 Certificate
Our experience includes, among others:
  • Series Production
  • documented processes
  • Technical Acceptance Procedures
  • Customer-Specific Quality Requirements
  • Safety-Compliant System Concepts
  • international production environments
