Systems that move components, workpieces, assemblies, and semi-finished or finished parts require absolute precision, dynamics, and reliability. Fast and precise positioning, alignment, and machining enable smooth processes to ensure the fast flow of goods and materials. Robots, machines, and systems for transport and handling therefore should be equipped with precision gears.

Requirements for gears in handling applications:

• High positioning accuracy and repeatability
• High acceleration torques
• Reliable and efficient operation
• Long life due to low-wear design
• Flexibility for adaptation to individual processes

Precision gears for supply, handling, and transport

Industrial production has to meet requirements for ever increasing speed, individuality, and cost-effectiveness. High-performance handling enables uninterrupted processes with minimal cycle times and maximum efficiency – absolute priorities in modern production and logistics systems. The demand is high for powerful, compact, and flexible solutions that can optimally perform the various handling tasks – whether in production, assembly, packaging, logistics, or warehouse management.

Handling tasks:

• Positioning
• Feeding
• Picking & placing
• Filling
• Transport
• Loading and unloading
• Sorting
• Distributing
• Pallet loading
• Labelling

Precise motions and pin-point positioning

Handling made easy: Our precision gears ensure high-precision positioning and precisely executed motions also in the case of heavy loads and/or fast and abrupt motions. In addition, they are compact and absolutely reliable and are designed for flexibility. This shortens machining times, improves product quality, boosts productivity and reduces costs.

Applications for our precision gears:

• Industrial robots
• Cobots
• Manipulators
• Gantry systems
• Pick & place robots
• Handling machines
• Insertion devices
