In the CNC production facility of an automobile manufacturer, turned parts are automatically ejected from the lathe after machining. The next work step requires intermediate buffering, during which the parts are to drip dry as much as possible.
Precise Parts Handling in Accordance with Standards
The automotive industry is one of the most important industrial sectors worldwide. It is subject to strict, international standards and regulations like few other industries. At the same time, fully automated automotive production processes require absolute reliability and efficiency.

During the production and assembly of brake callipers, continuous, reproducible and efficient transportation of the components is required. After mechanical processing, such as CNC milling, drilling or thread cutting, the components must be carefully picked up and transported in the correct…
An automotive supplier requires a compact conveyor solution for buffering and cyclical feeding and removal of body parts to a robot cell.
An adhesive technology manufacturer wants to significantly increase the productivity of its cutting machines for adhesive films. The engineers therefore sought a conveyor system that would automatically remove the stickers from the danger zone, eliminating the need for employees to enter the zone.
An automotive supplier manufactures steel rails for the adjustment of vehicle seats. The degree of automation in the production processes is high. Automatic conveyor systems that transport the rails from one processing step to the next – from the punching to welding, for instance – are therefore…
A special machine manufacturer requires a system to feed car body parts to a robot cell. Different parts are to be conveyed, which the robot then removes and assembles. The parts are to be fixed in holders for transportation. Ideally, it should be possible to use a uniform holder for all parts.
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.
Feeding, storage and positioning system for the unloading and removal of large load carriers in a production plant for electric drives.
An automation specialist is developing a fully automatic testing system for camshafts for a customer in the automotive industry. Since technical cleanliness must be ensured for the measurement and checking process, the system requires an enclosed housing.
Our partner Quickmove, a manufacturer of overhead conveyor systems, needs a transfer station from an overhead conveyor to a manual workstation and back for a customer in the automotive industry. In this case, the overhead conveyor transports small load carriers (SLC) with a size of 600x400 mm and a…
