We offer proven automation technology for key production areas such as the press shop, body shop, painting systems, powertrain and final assembly. With our components and systems, precise handling, fast cycle times and reliable processes can be achieved, even in harsh environments such as welding or painting facilities.
Typical applications include handling, gripping, and precisely positioning components along the production line. This is where electric and pneumatic drives are used as they enable fast movements and repeatability. In addition, vacuum technology for safe material transport ensures that body parts or components are carefully moved from one manufacturing step to the next. Furthermore, process automation and sensor technology play an important role in reliably monitoring and controlling all processes. In areas such as chassis construction, valve technology and pneumatic systems provide support in welding and clamping applications.
We offer modular and economical automation solutions for the production of assemblies and systems, including drive, chassis, electronics, interior, or battery systems.
Our technologies help to reduce manufacturing costs, boost and make processes scalable – even with increasing product variety.
Typical application areas are testing technology and quality control, for example in end-of-line tests or the automated inspection of assemblies. Our solutions are also used in dosing and joining technology, for example, to precisely apply media or in securely connecting components. In addition, our automated handling systems ensure that components in aproduction line are reliably transported, positioned, and fed in, regardless of the complexity or the number of product variants.

We support the entire value chain of the automotive industry, from the press shop to body shop, paint shops and powertrain to final assembly.
Our solutions are aimed at OEMs as well as Tier 1 suppliers, line builders and special machine manufacturers. The portfolio ranges from individual electric and pneumatic components to coordinated system solutions for complete production lines.
Numerous key applications in automotive production can be implemented using electric and pneumatic automation. This includes, among other things, handling, gripping and positioning tasks, as well as separating, feeding in and transporting components. They can also be used to great effects on welding and clamping technology. In paint shops, automation precisely controls the pressure and flow, while in the powertrain it assists with reliably stopping and moving heavy loads. What’s more, it also supports ergonomic workflows in final assembly. The combination of electric and pneumatic technology creates powerful, flexible, and process-reliable solutions.
Our modular automation concepts can be quickly adapted to new product variants and production requirements.
Standardized components, scalable platforms, and flexible drive concepts support both series and variant production. This enhances process efficiency and planning reliability, even in complex production environments.
Yes. We consistently integrates Industry 4.0 functionalities into its automation solutions.
Many components feature IO-Link technology, fieldbus connections, and facilitate the design of decentralized control architectures. This contributes to more efficient condition monitoring, transparent production data, and predictive maintenance. The integration of valve technology, I/O modules, and safety functions on one platform creates networked, data-based production concepts.
Our solutions are consistently designed for energy efficiency.
This includes energy-optimized valve technology, vacuum generators with air-saving function, and modular systems for compressed air treatment. Digital pneumatic solutions can shorten cycle times and significantly reduce energy consumption.
This minimizes compressed air losses, fosters a more efficient use of resources, and reduces the total cost of ownership.
Our components are specifically designed for industrial operating conditions such as welding or painting systems.
They meet high protection ratings, are resistant to heat, dirt or paint mist, and have integrated safety features according to applicable standards. This ensures reproducible processes, high plant availability, and maximum operational reliability, even at high cycle rates.
Yes. We assist our customers right from the concept phase through design and commissioning to ongoing operation.
Digital engineering tools, configurators, standardized interfaces and worldwide technical support reduce project planning effort and increase planning reliability. This results in technically optimal and economically efficient automation solutions.
For OEMs and plant manufacturers, component approval is often a critical bottleneck. Only approved products may be used in new plants; any deviations cause complex approval processes. Products that are not listed are usually not used at all.
Those who use our components for their designs significantly reduce this risk. The products are stored in the relevant OEM systems, specifications are aligned, and they are available worldwide.
