Modular and scalable: our assembly lines adapt to your capacity requirements.

Measuring and testing technology

Customer-specific solutions in the areas of assembly systems and testing technology

have been our core competence since 1950. We are the experts for application-specific and innovative concepts that ensure the long-term economic success of our customers. We develop systems in the field of tension between speed and precision - these criteria are in the foreground, for the entire testing spectrum in optimized automatic testing machines together with, for example, dimensional and tactile measurements, non-destructive testing (ultrasound & eddy current), microstructure, noise or leak tests through to highly dynamic endurance and efficiency measurements, from random sample testing to inline high-speed systems. Supplemented by image processing systems with the latest approaches to artificial intelligence, we offer comprehensive systems that ensure production quality.

Measurement and testing technology is a broad field with many different technologies and areas of application. These processes are used in production to ensure product quality and function, for example.

We flexibly combine different technologies from our portfolio for the components/assemblies or final products. The measurements can be carried out in manual systems or fully automatically on machines.

Handling and feeding technology

We offer our customers the highest level of expertise in the field of feeding, transportation and storage of production parts.

Specially selected according to the production requirements of our customers, ideally tailored feeding systems are used: vibratory conveyors with interchangeable tools for an extensive range of parts, linear sorting systems for solving feeding tasks with small, different features and medium quantity requirements as well as inclined plate conveyors with a conveying capacity of up to 1,400 parts per minute. By combining different handling units, extensive infeed and outfeed systems for a wide variety of products made from a wide range of materials can be realized.

Feeding, transport an storage of production parts - we always provide customized feeding systems.

As system integrators we realize innovative applications in the field of robotics. From classic applications to human robot collaboration.

Special Machinery digital - Production IT & digital assistance systems

Special Machinery digital

stands for the development and design of software solutions to increase the functionality, reliability, usability and user-friendliness of our machines and systems for our customers. A lot of data is already generated in production today, e.g. from sensors, measurement results, machine controls, etc. This data is recorded and processed by our operating assistance system. The most important information on production and the status of the machine is summarized on a dashboard in a clear, structured and individualized way.

With our IT products we support the digitalization of your production system.

Based on production data, they visualize, analyse and automate processes that require manual interaction or approval.

By digital assistance systems, we mean innovative solutions that support management and personnel on the production floor.

Additive manufacturing with simultaneous use of different materials

Today, 3additive manufacturing has long since established itself across the board as an alternative solution for producing workpieces, after centuries of sawing, milling, grinding or ablation. Multi-material 3D printing offers almost unlimited possibilities:

  • unique material combinations and functional integration

  • design flexibility for individual, free product design

  • respond quickly to evolving market requirements and designs

  • minimize material waste and thus contribute to achieving sustainability goals. 

Our machine, which has been developed especially for multi-material 3D printing, is a milestone for the use of additive manufacturing methods.

Our new system, called OmniFusion 3D, will be a benchmark for the industrial application of metal multi-material additive manufacturing.

Our unique competence in 3D multi-material additive manufacturing is especially based on machinery know how as well as competence in automation solutions and the entire process chain.

Our innovative technology enables the use of up to three different materials, which are supplied by integrated powder reservoirs into the recoater.
