Robots bend large heavy metal plates
After hitting upon the idea of industrializing the building trade with the aid of prefabricated steel box panels, BSC began to search for an integrated automation solution for their production. The task was to prefabricate precision-fit elements in a large variety of shapes, sizes and widths.

Robots ensure good formwork
Three KUKA robots at Werzalit AG + Co KG perform important tasks in the manufacture of formwork elements.In addition to windowsills, which constitute the core business, Werzalit AG + Co KG also produces plywood, veneers, shaped industrial parts, bungs for the paper industry and formwork elements for the residential and industrial building sector.

Grinding and polishing of implants
Aesculap’s benchmark factory in Tuttlingen manufactures high-quality implants. In the past, work in this field was primarily carried out manually. Then Aesculap wanted to optimize the entire process. The motivation to do this was strong pressure to reduce costs and the resultant desire for higher cost-effectiveness.

Bending of tubes
Since it is not possible to manufacture tube/hose/tube combinations in a single program cycle on conventional tube bending machines, Rosenberger AG was looking for a more flexible bending system which would at the same time provide outstanding precision, process reliability, and ease of operation.

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.
