Packaging technology: Innovative gearboxes for peripherals and robots

In order to remain internationally competitive, high productivity, efficiency and reliability are required in packaging technology. Gearboxes play a key role in this. We have more than 35 years of experience in robotics & automation and make the industry fit for the future with innovative drive concepts. Whether high numbers of cycles, fast movements or changing load conditions: Our solutions set standards in terms of precision, dynamics, installation space, durability and reliability and form the perfect basis for building high-performance systems with a small machine footprint - be it packaging machines, filling systems, picking solutions, handling and palletizing robots or automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for internal transport.

Precision and efficiency

Process optimization

Compact design

Moving, sorting, filling, palletizing & Co.

Automation in packaging technology: wherever products, cartons, bottles or pallets are moved, sorted, packed or palletized, our cycloidal gears and strain wave gears are in their element. They offer high precision and dynamics as well as high reduction ratios in a very compact design, making them ideal for high-performance packaging machines and fully automatic packaging lines.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Precisely executed movements for positioning accurate to the millimetre
  • Large safety reserves for optimum patient protection
  • Hygiene-friendly design for easy cleaning and disinfection
  • Extremely quiet operation for maximum patient comfort
  • Compact design for easy integration even where space is limited
  • Easy cable routing thanks to hollow gears
  • Modular design for maximum flexibility
  • Minimal design and assembly effort
