PROCESS AUTOMATION
We automate clearly defined assembly and screwdriving operations with monitored process control, suitable feeding and traceable quality data.

01
Automated screwdriving
02
Plugging, joining and press-fitting
03
Assembly with force and displacement monitoring
TYPICAL CHALLENGES
Our engineering is based on the real variation found in day-to-day production. This determines the robotics, gripping technology, sensors and peripherals.
01
FEEDING
Singulation, blow feeding, pick-and-place or tray concepts must handle the material, geometry and variants without jamming or double feeding.
02
JOINING PROCESS
Compliance, search motions, force/displacement monitoring and precise workholding compensate for positional deviations before rejects occur.
03
QUALITY DATA
Torque, angle, seating point, fastening sequence and component ID are monitored and used for traceability or automatic rework.
TECHNICAL SOLUTION CONCEPT
Part feeding, fixtures, robots and monitored assembly tools are integrated into an interlocked sequence with unambiguous enable conditions.
01
Singulate, identify and correctly feed components and screws
02
Monitor joining using force, displacement, torque or angle
03
Interlock the sequence, variant recipe and rework strategy
04
Record process data with component ID and timestamp
ENGINEERING CRITERIA
The key process data are recorded early and documented as verifiable technical constraints.
01
JOINT
Limit curves and process windows are derived from the component, fastening case, joining force and quality requirement.
02
TOLERANCES
Fixtures, floating tools, vision and force control are combined to suit actual process variation.
03
ALTERNATIVES
Component identification, recipe selection and tool enable prevent incorrect parameters or incomplete assembly.
04
REWORK
Automatic retry, defined rejection and blocking of downstream transfer are specified for each fault type.
HOW WE WORK
Trials, engineering and production ramp-up are aligned with the defining characteristics of your process.
01
We clarify component tolerances, feeding, joining profile, fastening case, inspection characteristic and required documentation.
02
Critical screwdriving, insertion and press-fitting operations are tested with original parts and documented as process windows.
03
During production ramp-up, we test missing parts, misalignment, incorrect variants, failed curves and controlled restart.
SERVICE & SUPPORT
The scope of service is aligned with the installed technology, shift pattern and your maintenance organisation.
01
Inspect and calibrate screwdriving systems, part feeding and tool holders.
02
Assess torque, angle, recipes and quality data.
03
Maintain fixtures, sensors and highly stressed components on schedule.
