A manufacturer of batteries for electric vehicles joins together individual round cells to make battery modules. The manufacturer would like these round cells to be inspected fully automatically in the goods receipt area.
SEW-EURODRIVE uses automated guided vehicles as mobile workbenches, with perfectly integrated belt conveyors from mk
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…
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…

In a welding plant for truck supports, four workstations have to be fully automatically interlinked with six welding cells. The manually pre-cured components are transported on pallets on two parallel conveying paths and delivered with precise positioning. Handling robots…
Intelligent software independently learns to detect, distinguish between and rate optical defects. The system described inspects small lacquered parts in a cycle. It also automates the quality assurance process in the production of small parts. The fact that the software can even see the faults is…
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…
Problem definition
Two machining stations in a plastic canister production process need to be interlinked. The solution has to cope with inconvenient spatial constraints: Empty canisters need to be conveyed along a curve and past another machine so that they can be brought back to the original feed…
