User-friendly gearboxes for automation & handling
Wherever components, workpieces, assemblies, semi-finished or finished parts need to be moved, maximum precision, dynamics and reliability are required. Our precision gearboxes stand for maximum performance, efficiency, safety and maximum availability and are the key to future-proof drive concepts and competitive manufacturing processes. We have developed economical plug-and-play gearboxes especially for automation and handling in small and medium-sized companies, which combine excellent power density with maximum user-friendliness.
Performance meets usability
Our gearboxes for automation & handling provide high-precision positioning and ensure precise movements even with heavy loads and/or very fast and abrupt processes - even with high acceleration torques, heavy loads, limited space or in hygiene-critical environments. In addition, our cycloidal gears, strain wave gears, rotary tables and drive solutions have a compact design, are absolutely reliable and can be used flexibly. This shortens processing times, improves product quality, increases productivity and reduces costs.
The advantages at a glance:
- Performance and efficiency in perfect balance
- Shorter cycle times, better product quality and higher quantities at lower costs
- Precise positioning and placement - even with high acceleration torques, heavy loads or in hygiene-critical environments
- Fail-safe thanks to high shock resistance
- Quick installation, simple integration, intuitive handling
- Long service life with low wear
- Flexibilization of production
- Cost reduction, risk minimization and reduced workload

Cycloidal gearbox and strain wave gears: precision dream team
Cycloidal gears and strain wave gears complement each other perfectly and together form a real dream team for robotics & automation. If the larger axes of a robot or machine are equipped with cycloidal gears and the smaller ones in the end effector area with strain wave gears, the best possible precision can be achieved from the overall linking of all axes.
