In the production of plastic plates, blanks are fused together in an oven to create one homogeneous plate. The vacuum oven reaches temperatures of over 100 °C and produces a chemically aggressive atmosphere due to the evaporation of the plastics. To automate the process, the manufacturer wants to…
An assembly line for steering gears requires a partially automated material feed for manual workstations. The challenge – the material feed has to be integrated into an existing hall with very limited space. The workers use an existing pallet circulation system.
A manufacturer of medical tests is building a machine for producing rapid coronavirus antibody tests. The machine can produce 40 tests per minute. For this purpose, the customer requires a pallet circulation system on which the tests can be assembled by robots fully automatically.
An interlinked system that meets the specifications for technical cleanliness is required for the production of syringes. The syringes are placed on the conveyor technology from the preceding machine and then have to be transported through a fire protection hatch.
A conveyor is required that operates with especially low emissions for the demanding use in cleanrooms. In addition, operation must not cause any air turbulence, or only very little, in order to prevent dispersion of tiny particles in the room. The conveyor must be suitable for cleaning in…

A manufacturer of X-ray systems for the food and aviation industries is developing a new system which requires a conveyor that can accommodate X-ray plates. The material to be conveyed, in this case large fish, must be X-rayed on the conveyor as it passes through the system and then conveyed…
Problem definition
A modular and flexible process and systems concept was required for a research project. Metal foils needed to be coated with electrode material for the production of lithium-ion batteries. Aluminium or copper is used as the substrate, depending on whether cathodes or anodes are…
Problem definition
A process and a system for coating metal foils needed to be developed for a research and development project. The metal foils are used in the production of lithium-ion batteries. After coating, the foil must be dried before it can be calendered and rewound into a coil. The…
Problem definition
An automated cleaning station with an immersion bath is required in an assembly line for metal spindles. The spindles are loaded onto the conveyor by a customer-provided handling system and then transported into the cleaning solution, where they are rinsed. Any fluid and dirt…
