Automotive
In the automotive industry, precision, short cycle times, and maximum availability are top priorities. Our automation solutions are designed precisely for this: robust, well-engineered systems that meet the high demands of series production and operate smoothly even in multi-shift operations. From assembly to testing to traceability, we ensure that quality is never left to chance.
Powder dosing system in ATEX design
Key facts
- Dosing accuracy: ± 2 mg for two powder types
- Cycle time: 7 s per dosing / 1.75 s per detonator
- Safety concept with pressure container & protective personnel
- Integration into existing workpiece carrier system
Task
Two explosives in the milligram range must be precisely dosed and layered for the filling of airbag detonators. The required process times are highly synchronized: 8 seconds per dosing, 2 seconds per detonator. Powder handling is carried out under the highest safety precautions by trained personnel. The system must be integrated into an existing workpiece carrier system.
Solution
Two filling systems, each with two dosing stations, ensure precise and reliable powder processing. Dosing takes place via spiral conveyors and weighing modules in specially developed safety containers. The refiller enables safe powder feeding by the personnel. YZ axis systems and a conveyor belt guarantee efficient workpiece transportation within the overall system.

Transer System with Handling
Key facts
- 100% testing system for electric actuators
- 5 test cells + 1 laser cell
- Cycle time: 2 seconds
- Electrically driven main movements
- Gentle handling thanks to linear motors
Task
Electric actuators are to be tested, marked and packaged fully automatically in a system with five test cells and one laser marking cell. The system must achieve a total cycle time of 2 seconds. All main movements are to be carried out electrically and the DMC code is to be read before the test.
Solution
A circulating workpiece carrier system supplies the test cells with actuators. Pick-and-place handling units driven by linear motors take over the precise transfer to the test stations. Good parts are reset, bad parts are automatically separated. Once the test has been passed, the parts are laser-marked and automatically packaged, with full ease of servicing and modular safety casing.
