Robots at die-casting machine for aluminum car parts
In order to optimize its processes for die-casting both qualitatively and economically, Druckguss Hoym GmbH wanted to automate one of its casting cells.

Robots link drop forging process
To increase the capacity of its drop forging shop, Buderus Edelstahl Schmiedetechnik GmbH invested in a fully-automatic press line for truck wheel hubs. The company was looking for robots to handle the forgings, which are at a temperature of 1,250 degrees Celsius.

Handling of automotive safety parts
The die-casting company Eisenmann Druckguss wanted to automate the manufacture of flanges for electrical steering systems of cars – safety-related components, in other words. The special challenge in this case was that there was practically no tolerance with regard to repeatability.

Pre-treatment of sand casting dies
The Weilbach, Germany plant belonging to Linde Material Handling uses the sand casting process to manufacture 51 so-called structural counterweights for forklift trucks. Linde was looking for a more cost-effective alternative to the existing solution, in which the required protective layer between the sand and the molten iron was applied manually in the form of an alcohol-based wash.

Injection molding applications
When Mürdter Metall- und Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH won a contract with a system supplier to the automotive industry to manufacture door side linings for an airbag system, it was clear that an automated solution would be needed. The main requirements on the handling systems were a long reach, both horizontally and vertically, and a high degree of flexibility.
