Except for high volume production, automation also offers decisive advantages for complex applications – from high repeatability and constant process monitoring to increased occupational safety.

Companies in the aviation, shipping, medical, food technology, and plastics industries benefit from exactly these advantages. Below we show you some examples where our customers have successfully utilized this potential.

General industry aviation

Over the past decades, the number of aircraft has increased continuously. This has also led to ever-increasing demand for parts for commercial aircrafts. At the same time, automation enables seamless traceability – a decisive advantage, especially for safety-critical components.

Aviationinterior ventilation

This system is used to laser weld two halves of a ventilation duct made of long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic for commercial aircrafts. A robot with a laser welding head joins the part halves efficiently and reliably. An integrated camera monitoring continuously ensures the quality of the weld seam.

General industry plastics

Even outside the automotive sector, the plastics industry offers great potential for automation due to high volumes. Possible options include fully automated injection molding for the removal and sorting of parts or downstream processing steps such as precise laser cutting for variant creation.
