For industrial manufacturing processes

Custom-Built Machines and Robotic Cells

We develop custom machines and robotic cells for production processes, tailored to the workpiece, process, and environment.

Implementing Customized Automation

Mass Production and Industrial Automation

Production processes often vary significantly depending on the workpiece, cycle time, and manufacturing environment. That is precisely why we do not develop universal, off-the-shelf systems, but rather custom machines tailored to specific production requirements.

In doing so, we take into account not only the actual process, but also material flow, workpiece handling, cycle time, and integration into existing production lines.
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:
Special-Purpose Machines
Robotic Cells
Handling Systems
Assembly Automation
Test Automation
Feeding technology
interconnected production lines
PLC-Controlled Automation Solutions
In doing so, we take into account not only the actual process, but also material flow, workpiece handling, cycle time, and integration into existing production lines.
Implement automated leak testing

Leak Test and Differential Pressure Test

Leak testing is one of the most critical requirements in automated testing processes. Therefore, we develop leak testing systems that are tailored to the workpiece, test medium, and leak rate.

Our automated testing system—including workpiece handling, robot loading, unloading, and test data acquisition—can be integrated into existing manufacturing processes. Depending on the application, this results in individual test stations or fully automated test cells.

Methods used include, among others:
  • Differential pressure testing
  • Flow testing
  • Combined testing procedures
  • Leak Test Systems
  • Inline leak testing
  • Automated test sequences
  • Multi-stage testing processes
Developing test systems for reproducible measurement results

Test systems for industrial quality assurance

A testing system must consistently deliver reliable results—even with varying components, high production volumes, or short cycle times. That is why we do not develop testing automation as a standard system, but rather tailor it to the specific production task.
Our test systems can integrate processes such as:
  • Functional testing
  • Vision inspection
  • Dimensional inspection
  • Presence monitoring
  • Pressure Test
  • Flow measurement
  • Electrical testing
  • Sensor-based testing processes
In addition, we integrate:
Workpiece carrier
Robotic handling
Feeding technology
Security Concepts
Process data acquisition
PLC Control
HMI and visualization systems
This results in testing processes that can be seamlessly and reproducibly integrated into industrial serial production.
Using Robotics for Assembly Processes

Robotic Cells and Automation for Assembly Systems

Complex testing processes often require automated workpiece movements and defined test sequences. Therefore, we combine test automation with robotics and automated handling systems.
For example, our robot cells handle:
Loading and unloading of testing systems
Workpiece positioning
Component handling
Rejection of faulty parts
Automatic process transfers
Linking multiple test stations
In doing so, we integrate servo-electric axes, vision systems, sensors, and PLC controllers into a complete automation solution.
Many systems are designed specifically for high cycle rates or complex workpiece geometries, where manual inspection processes reach their limits.
Stably Automate Production Processes

Industrial Series Production

Automated production processes must operate reliably over the long term—even with high production volumes, varying workpieces, or short cycle times. That is why we do not develop automation solutions as universal, off-the-shelf systems, but rather tailor them to the specific production task at hand.
Our custom-built machines and robotic cells can integrate the following processes, among others:
  • Assembly Automation
  • Test Automation
  • Workpiece Handling
  • Feeding Processes
  • Laser Marking
  • Component Positioning
  • Automatic process transfers
  • 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 manufacturing processes that can be integrated into industrial production lines in a reproducible and cost-effective manner.
Provide comprehensive support for technical processes

Design, PLC, and Commissioning

In special-purpose machinery manufacturing, it is not only the actual equipment that determines the success of a project, but also the technical coordination of all components within the production process.
That is why we support projects from the initial technical analysis through to the finished automation solution.
This does not result in generic machine designs, but rather in technical solutions tailored to specific manufacturing conditions and industrial production 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
Expansion of Existing Testing Facilities
Leak Testing, Ultrasonic Testing, and Component Testing

Project Examples in Testing Automation

Many of our testing systems are developed for applications with stringent demands on process reliability, repeatability, and cycle time. The featured examples and models provide insight into the structure, workpiece handling, and technical process flows of our testing automation:
Ensuring the Long-Term Viability of Automation

Quality Management for Special-Purpose Machinery and Robotics

Automation solutions must ensure consistently stable production processes. That is why, right from the development stage, we focus on service-friendly designs, traceable processes, and robust system concepts. This includes documented process flows, stable cycle times, transparent process data, and well-thought-out operating and safety concepts.
This is complemented by a maintenance-friendly system structure and comprehensive technical documentation. Even after commissioning, we continue to support our customers with technical assistance, system adjustments, and the expansion of existing automation solutions.
Documenting Technical Standards

Certifications and Requirements

Depending on the industry and production environment, different requirements apply to documentation, safety concepts, and technical traceability.
We provide additional technical documentation and project-specific documentation based on the application and plant design.
