For industrial testing processes

Test Automation

We develop test systems and testing automation for production processes where test results must be reproducible, cycle-time compliant, and seamlessly integrated into the manufacturing workflow.

Seamlessly integrating testing processes into manufacturing

Series production and special-purpose machinery

Today, testing processes must deliver more than a simple pass/fail decision. In modern production lines, the objective is to detect defects early, reduce scrap, and stably integrate testing into the manufacturing process. We specialize in non-destructive testing (NDT). 

From manual test benches to fully automated test cells, we engineer solutions precisely tailored to your workpiece, testing method, and production environment.
That is precisely why we develop customized testing automation for industrial applications.
Our test systems are engineered for industries including:
Automotive
Mechanical Engineering
Plastics Technology
Medical Technology
Energy & Drive Technology
Industrial Series Production
Depending on the application, we implement:
manual test benches
semi-automated testing stations
inline test systems
robotic cells for testing processes
linked test automation
Our portfolio encompasses not only the testing procedure itself, but also workpiece handling, cycle time optimization, data acquisition, and integration into existing production lines.
Implement automated leak testing

Leak testing for industrial components

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 automation solutions can be integrated into existing manufacturing processes, including workpiece handling, robot loading, sorting out, and test data acquisition. Depending on the application, standalone test stations or fully automated test cells are created.

Methods used include, among others:
Developing test systems for reproducible measurement results

Test systems for industrial quality assurance

A test system must deliver consistently stable results—even with changing component types, high volumes, or short cycle times. Therefore, we do not develop automation solutions as standard systems, but rather tailor them to the specific testing task.
Our test systems can integrate processes such as:
In addition, we integrate:
Workpiece carrier systems
Robotic handling
Feeding technology
Vision systems
Process data acquisition
HMI and visualization systems
This results in testing processes that can be seamlessly and reproducibly integrated into industrial serial production.
Using robotics for testing processes

Robot cells and automation for testing processes

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 specifically designed for high volumes or complex workpiece geometries where manual testing processes reach their limits.
Adapting test automation to real-world production conditions

Special-purpose machine building for customized test automation

Every manufacturing environment places different demands on testing processes, workpiece handling, and system architecture. That is why we develop custom special-purpose machines for industrial testing tasks.
Rather than universal standard machines, we deliver tailored technical solutions designed for specific manufacturing environments and 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

Ensuring Quality in Testing Processes

Quality Management for Industrial Testing Systems

Testing automation must deliver consistently traceable results. Therefore, we focus on stable processes, reproducible testing conditions, and service-friendly, maintenance-oriented system concepts right from the development stage.

This is complemented by intuitive operating and safety concepts as well as comprehensive technical documentation. Even after commissioning, we support our clients with ongoing technical assistance, system modifications, and expansions of existing testing systems.
Documenting Technical Standards

Certifications and Requirements

Depending on the industry and production environment, varying requirements apply to testing processes, documentation, and technical traceability.
We provide advanced technical documentation and project-specific documentation tailored to the specific application and system concept.
