[01] PRODUCT LINES
Equipment for every production challenge.
Special-purpose machines
Semi-automatic or fully automatic assembly of sub-assemblies with 100% end-of-line quality inspection. Elimination of human-factor errors in manual operations — OK/NOK sorting at line cycle time.
Learn more →Robotic workcells
Unattended operation with an EPSON robot, machine-vision inspection, automatic part handling and sorting. Changeover to a different product is mostly done in software — without costly mechanical rework.
View projects →Process control systems
Formation and post-formation tanks, electrolyte preparation, manganising dips, H₂SO₄ distribution, WETCAP plating — automation in corrosive environments and in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Optical inspection of headlights
Automation in potentially explosive atmospheres
Machine-vision inspection of plastic lenses and light guides directly at line cycle time — to UN ECE photometric regulations.
Machine vision with Basler cameras measures the intensity, colour and gradient of the luminous flux and compares it against a reference master. The result for each part is recorded in a database and labelled with a QR code for full traceability. The system works with production samples at real cycle time — not only with laboratory masters.
We design equipment for aggressive chemical environments — formation tanks, manganising dips, H₂SO₄ distribution. The kind of environment most integrators avoid.
We work with corrosive electrolytes, acids and electroplating processes. Equipment for WETCAP case plating — electropolymerisation in an automatic cycle. We engineer the systems with regard to the safety requirements of potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX).

[—] CUSTOMER REFERENCES
What our customers say
Sample references — real quotes will be added once customers consent.
SAMPLE — awaiting real reviews
We took over the machine fully commissioned after the FAT, and it has run in three-shift operation without downtime since installation. Handing over the PLC source code freed us from dependence on a single supplier.
[Name]
Production Manager · [Customer]
The machine-vision optics inspection keeps up with our cycle time, and the results database with QR labels has greatly simplified traceability for automotive audits.
[Name]
Quality Engineer · [Customer]
We appreciate that the EPLAN and HMI documentation was complete right at handover. Service responds quickly and the remote connection resolves most issues without a site visit.

[05] PROJECT PROCESS
From enquiry to a running machine — no surprises.
01
Enquiry
Describe your application to us — the part, the operation, the required cycle time. Nothing more.
02
Feasibility study
We prepare a technical analysis and an indicative scope. Usually free of charge for qualified projects.
03
Design
Machine design, electrical design in EPLAN, 3D model in SolidWorks or Inventor. The customer approves before manufacture.
04
Manufacture
Mechanical construction, electrical installation, PLC and HMI programming.
05
FATKEY MILESTONE
We carry out the FAT exclusively at our works. The customer takes over a fully commissioned, working machine — not an unfinished unit to be tuned on the shop floor.
06
SAT
Installation and commissioning at the customer's site. Operator training. Handover of the complete PLC and HMI source code + EPLAN documentation.
07
Service
Service support throughout the machine's service life. Remote connection + on-site attendance.
FAT at our works — SAT at yours
“We carry out the FAT exclusively at our works. We bring a working machine to the customer's shop floor — not an unfinished unit we tune in operation.”
Every machine is handed over with a CE declaration of conformity and complete accompanying documentation — the PLC and HMI source code and the EPLAN drawings are part of the delivery.
