Assembly machines and lines can be designed for manual or fully automatic operation. In some applications, a combination of both methods is possible.
The line can also be laid out as a modular system, allowing the client to scale up the capacity and technical level according to current needs. The individual stations can be connected with a conveyor belt, the parts can also be passed on by hand.
The solution is always tailored to the specific requirements and customers‘ needs. It is necessary to consider the available space, required output rate, the methods how to supply the parts, transport between operations or the requirements how the machine can handle high product versatility. Based on our experience, we also emphasise sufficient testing and perfecting of the line before the actual installation at the customer.
It is essential for well-functioning lines to identify the individual components and sets entering the manufacture or assemly process. That is why our machines are equipped with top-class systems for preventing mistakes by sensing the correctness of the components or the assemblies at the input (Poka-Yoke).
Subunits are monitored several times during assembling to check dimensions and the presence of all the parts. Additional checking methods such as camera systems eliminate any possibility of mixing up different subunits.
Last but not least, a fully automatic assembly line cannot do without reliable automatic feeding and sorting devices (such as vibration feeders). In this area we cooperate with renowned manufacturers of feeding equipment. For special applications, we can also develop our own feeding and sorting devices.
Most common technological operations performed on our assembly lines include:
Special-purpose machines are the core of our production. They have been with us since the beginning of the company. Single-purpose and special machines are always developed as prototypes based on clients’ requirements. These machines span a number of different industries. In the list below, you can see the technologies our company has dealt with.
With every single project and new type of a special-purpose machine, we acquire experience from new industries and technologies, expanding our competitive and technical abilities.
Applications of special-purpose machines:
Our company also works as a systemic integrator of robots, a part of natural innovation of special-purpose machines in a wide range of industrial applications. Introducing robotic automation brings our customers better efficiency, quality and process reliability. Robots are particularly suitable for applications requiring high precision, speed, repeatability and flexibility.
Examples of robotised applications:
We supply measuring and testing devices – individually or integrated in the production line. Checking, measuring and testing of the products‘ parameters are essential to all production procedures. A growing emphasis on securing a reliable functioning final product means further demands on precision and reliability of measuring and testing machines.
These are especially checking (POKA-YOKE) tools designed to check the presence, number, colour or correct orientation of the products. Checking devices can be used in between operations or for the final 100% checking.
Our measuring devices can measure mechanical and electric parameters or physical quantities.
A camera used in a special-purpose machine works as a very smart contactless sensor. It can replace or complement classic sensors.
Camera systems have become a standard part of production technology and in some cases they are necessary for securing a faultless functioning of the production line. They can also be used to navigate robots when parts are randomly oriented (other types of sensors fail here).
We also design and produce machines for the production of thermal and acoustic insulation and steel, aluminium, plastic and textile parts mainly for the automotive industry.
