Our gearboxes get production in electromobility up to speed
Electromobility is picking up speed. As a long-standing robotics and automation partner, we are very familiar with the high demands made by the industry in terms of precision, quality, performance and process reliability. Wherever handling and positioning processes need to be automated and executed with high precision in production, our precision gearboxes make a significant contribution to greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Cost reduction, risk minimization and work simplification
Our gearboxes enable fast and precise positioning movements with high payloads, ensuring the precise placement and positioning of components, workpieces and tools. They guarantee short machining times, stable processes, consistently high product quality and maximum efficiency and make a significant contribution to increasing productivity, reducing costs and minimizing risks in electromobility manufacturing processes.
The advantages at a glance:
- High positioning, repeatability and speed accuracy
- High torsional rigidity for precise positioning with dynamic loads
- Fast and precise gripping and depositing of small and large objects
- Work parallel to machining time, reduced non-productive and machining times
- High degree of process reliability
- Stable processes for short throughput times and high productivity
- Compact design for easy integration, even where installation space is limited
- Minimal design and assembly effort
- Optimum product quality thanks to maximum precision
- Flexible production and cost reduction
