Task
In a production process for ball bearings, ball bearing races of various sizes are manually positioned at the corresponding processing stations. Since the cycle times vary and to prevent the worker from constantly having to set and remove parts, a simple and cost-effective solution was sought...

Assignment
The client requires a fully-automated assembly line that will assemble, test, label and store multi-component sanitary fittings. The product comprises a total of 14 separate plastic parts, which have high manufacturing tolerances. In addition to this, both the plant and the control system...

Problem definition
Multiple machining stations needed to be interlinked for the production of electric motors for an electric sport utility vehicle. The stations needed to be interlinked across multiple levels. Lifts for lifting, lowering and turning are used to transport the pallets to the various...

Problem definition
In the production of longitudinal and cross beams, the production systems, the packaging robots and a station for manual tasks need to be interlinked. Positioning accuracy of +- 0.2 mm is required at the stations. Both longitudinal and cross beams are produced on the line, and the...

Problem definition
Two machining stations in a production process for cast parts need to be interlinked. The upstream and downstream machines have different cycle times. The interlink needs to restore the system’s autonomy. Two different types are produced on the line simultaneously. They are placed...

Problem definition
In the production of titanium screws, a handling solution needs to lift the baskets containing the screws from the main conveyor life to the buffer conveyor or tip the containers into a funnel. The solution needs to process different screw types in no particular order and be able...

Problem definition
During the production of titanium screws, the screws are expelled from the lathes and fill baskets made from perforated VA steel sheets. The screws that fall into the basket need to be counted. A lifting unit is also needed to transport the baskets to the main conveyor line at a...

Problem definition
An interlink is required for a production process in the manufacture of titanium screws. Five lathes need to be interlinked with two thread whirling machines. Different screw types need to be processed. The lathes have a different cycle time than the thread whirling machines. The...

Problem definition
A conveyor with a transillumination station is needed for visual inspection in an automated production application. In this station the products are illuminated through the belt and examined with cameras or the naked eye for material defects, incorrect positioning, completeness or...

Problem definition
For an application in the production of non-woven strips, cut sections of non-woven fabric need to be transported from one machining station to the next. The material is very thin and light. The system needs to run at a high speed of 140 m/min. The strips must be transferred from...
