ASSEMBLY-
AUTOMATION

One focus of our activity is the design and production of fully and partially automated assembly systems for the automotive and consumer goods industries.

Thanks to our comprehensive experience of many years, the wealth of ideas and consistent solution focus, we were able to prove our competence in this field on many occasions in the course of the past few years. The plants developed by us include well-known processes of joining technology such as screwing, pressing, welding, glueing etc. in a host of technological applications.

Whether a fully or a partially automatic system is to be used for assembly depends mainly on the feed, manipulation and assembly features of the individual components, on the planned production quantity and the desired flexibility, but also on the location of the production site.

ASSEMBLY AUTOMATION

Fully and partially automatic systems

These assembly plants can be designed as rotary indexing or in-line indexing systems. Fully automatic systems require an appropriate suitability of components for an automated feed and assembly, partially automatic systems are therefore always easier to implement.

Moreover, fully automated in-line indexing systems are categorized according to workpiece holders with loose and inflexible sequencing. The latter permit shorter workpiece holder changes and consequently shorter cycle times, the drawback being that a defect causes the entire plant to come to a standstill. This is not necessarily the case with loose chaining, if a sufficient number of buffer locations has been provided.

Lean

These also include partially automatic assembly plants. Their special feature is optimization according to the LEAN production philosophy. One central element is clearly structured and ergonomic workplace design. For workpiece transport, workpiece holder circulation systems with loose sequencing are used which comprise a U cell accommodating the assembly staff. Material feed is from the outside in; the distances between the stations are minimized. Thus, this design permits maximum flexibility as regards the deployment of staff in case of fluctuating quantities. The degree of automation can be chosen depending on the location in question.
