Your Advantages
Automation Systems: Technically precise, regulatory compliant, and perfectly tailored to your processes
Our solutions range from rotary indexing tables and indexed linear transfers to flexible transport systems and robotic solutions for loading and unloading during the injection molding process. We seamlessly integrate all necessary production and testing processes: welding, bonding, sealing, marking, camera and vision systems, flow and leak testing, as well as force, torque, and functional testing. Using state-of-the-art servo and robot technology, we ensure maximum precision, reliability, and efficiency – for secure and scalable production processes.
Holistic Assembly Solutions
- We consider the entire product development process: From process engineering and quality assurance to production. In doing so, we meet all regulatory requirements and ensure smooth, validatable, and scalable manufacturing processes.
Design for Manufacturing (DfM): Our automation experts analyze your product design at an early stage to ensure optimal manufacturability. The result: more stable processes, lower scrap rate, and significant cost efficiency during scaling.
Know-how Transfer: Translating field experience into precision: Using lessons learned from our plants to shape the future of automation.
Scaleable and Flexible
We accelerate your path from clinical assembly to high-volume production through a uniquely modular system architecture and in-house special machine engineering.
Our platform scale seamlessly – without redesigning your device – while our internal engineering capabilities deliver faster interations, shorter lead time, and complete freedom of external dependencies. Whether you are in the early design phase or ready for industrialization, our flexible assembly solutions ensure a seamless entry at any stage of your product launch.
