Automatic bending of sheet metal
Previously, Metallkonzept Glaser GmbH used manual handling when bending sheet metal. In order to offer the bent parts at lower prices, the company was looking for a more cost-effective alternative.

Handling of dishwater housings
BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte relies increasingly on automation for the manufacture of its dishwashers. Therefore the company also planned to automate the application of bitumen sound-deadening pads to dishwasher housings.

Synergies in polyurethane foam technology
With the development of a new process in polyurethane foam technology for the production of thin-walled side member covers, Dynamit Nobel Kunststoff GmbH caused quite a stir. The result was better flow characteristics and shorter cycle times through an improved cooling process and, not least, an extremely light but also rigid part.

Handling of plastic bumpers
Before installing the two production lines which are used today to manufacture bumpers for the Chrysler PT Cruiser and the Audi A4 convertible, the automotive supplier Decoma looked for a more flexible handling solution. Previously, for production of other bumpers, Decoma still used linear units. A change from “rigid” automation to the higher flexibility which is provided only by six-axis jointed-arm robots was therefore desirable.

Various assembly applications from the automotive industry - Handling of vehicle parts
When BMW made the rear axles of its 3 Series cars more complex and increased the number of variants, the linear unit which had previously been used to handle the axles in the camber setting system was no longer able to cope with the changes.
