A manufacturer of office supplies is looking to retrofit its outdated production line for cardboard folders. It wants to completely overhaul the system – in terms of both technology and appearance.
A mechanical engineer needs a protective housing for a cutting production machine. Since the machine is used to grind brake linings, the housing should reduce the level of noise in the production hall as well as the level of dirt.
A protective housing is required for an 18-m long strip rolling line for the production of cold-rolled wire. The purpose of the housing is to protect the surrounding area from oil mist generated during the process, therefore it needs to be impervious. Moreover, it is to serve as a key distinguishing…
In the optical industry, a manufacturer of lasers and laser-based solutions wants to subdivide its newly created ISO-6 clean room into areas with a wide variety of functions and production processes. Production enclosures are to be created for the development, manufacture, assembly and quality…

Motor blocks and cylinder heads are manufactured and assembled at an automobile manufacturer. Various motor components need to be flexibly supplied for mounting on the main line so that they can be subsequently assembled. There is no interim storage on the assembly line, meaning that production…
A systems manufacturer who builds laser, clamping and automation systems needs protective enclosures to safely house its machines. This requires enclosures which are similar, but with slightly different dimensions. The enclosures must be opaque, easy to assemble and the customer’s technology must be…
A fully automatic assembly line for suction pipe modules that is approximately 45-metres long needs to be equipped with guarding, including protective fences and machine housings. Passages and transitions for system maintenance also need to be created. Mounting occurs at several stations along a…
