“We have more than 35 years of experience in robotics and automation, so we know what is important. To successfully meet the growing challenges of the production industry one needs superior and reliable high-performance gears. That is why our absolute priorities are on achieving the highest standards of quality, unwavering customer orientation and constant innovation. That is reflected in our product portfolio, our range of services and our service level – and, of course, in the performance of the customer applications. Our precision gears make it possible to shorten processing times, improve product quality, boost productivity and reduce costs,” explains Daniel Obladen, Director Sales & Marketing at Nabtesco Precision Europe GmbH.

Guarantee for precision, efficiency and reliability

Whether they are used in robotics, machine and plant engineering, logistics, medical technology or the food industry: Cycloidal and strain wave gears are at home in every sector and contribute significantly to reducing costs while simultaneously boosting performance. Meanwhile, well over 13 million Nabtesco precision gears are in use worldwide (complaint rate = 0.01 %). Their high precision and power density ensure precisely executed motions for pin-point positioning of components, workpieces and tools – also at high acceleration torques, under heavy loads, in tight spaces or in hygiene-critical environments.

Economical series manufacturing and high availability

The broad product portfolio – the most extensive and diversified range of precision gears on the market – includes highly integrable component sets, user-friendly plug & play gearboxes, zero backlash strain wave gears, dynamic servo gearboxes and powerful rotary indexers, as well as compact AGV wheel drives and complete custom gear and drive system solutions. The production process is highly automated and optimised for maximum efficiency and consistently high quality. The strain wave gears are produced at the Ovalo GmbH plant in Limburg (Lahn) according to automotive standards. Prior to delivery, the gears are subjected to a 100% inspection: Each individual gear unit is put through its paces. The high production capacity ensures maximum availability and dependable delivery times.

All-inclusive automation bundle

The all-inclusive concept at Nabtesco is unique. “We want to make things as simple as possible for our customers. That is why we offer full-service support that covers every aspect of gearboxes and drive systems – from consulting, selection and design to production and maintenance. Our customers can then give their full attention to their core tasks,” says Daniel Obladen, adding: “Our Nabtesco promise of quality is the customer’s guarantee for maximum performance and safety, as well as optimal cost-effectiveness – whether in small-, medium- or large-scale production.”

By the way: Nabtesco is the only manufacturer capable of implementing suitable precision gear solutions for torques from 7 to 28,000 Nm. Full scalability of the product range enables a seamless gear strategy as the basis for optimally matched systems.
