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.

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.

Robot optimizes cutting of pork sides
In a European Commission-sponsored project for automated pre-cutting of pork sides, Gilde Hedmark og Oppland Slakterier BA (Gilde Hed Opp) saw for itself how efficiently robotic systems can operate in the meat processing industry today. In the course of the project, the company integrated a KR 125 six-axis jointed-arm robot into its production. The main requirements were cost-effectiveness, flexibility, precise anatomical cuts, and a throughput of at least 400 pork sides per hour.

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.

Robots at die-casting machine for vehicle transmission
Development work and series start-up for castings tie up machine capacity which would otherwise be available for actual production. Diecasting Technologies Center (DTC), located in Dohna near Dresden, was founded to provide a way around this problem.

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.
