We develop special solutions that are as unique as your requirements. Each project is one-of-a-kind and each machine is tailor-made: always efficient and target-oriented thanks to our years of experience and well-established modular concepts.
In-house developments ensure optimal performance
Our customers’ individual requirements have been transformed into smart, highly innovative products that are continually deployed. In this way, we expand our expertise in special machine engineering to include real best-practice solutions.
Telescopic Z-axis – Developed in-house for compact, high-precision deigns
Our telescopic Z-axis was developed for applications where standard solutions are not enough: precise, dynamic and individually adjustable. The two-stage drive comprised of toothed belt and gear rack enables long strokes with a minimal installation height and high rigidity. The modular concept offers maximum flexibility for specific client requirements.
Advantages & Technology
The axis achieves a 40% reduction in installation height, with low noise and maintenance requirements, high repeat accuracy and various available sizes. With strokes of up to 2,000 mm, it can bear a load of 40–60 kg, operates at up to 1.5 m/s and delivers repeat accuracy of ±0.5 mm.
Electrical equipment & options
Delivery includes a servo drive according to customer specifications, freely selectable installation levels, Profinet interfaces as well as CE and UL conformity, along with integrated fall protection. Extensions such as swivel units or replaceable modules for grippers, joining or assembly tools can be integrated easily.
Typical applications
Typical applications include palletising trays, containers and panels, automated loading of processing and machining centres as well as various assembly and joining tasks.
Cam-controlled platform – developed in-house for optimal performance
Increase cycle times – achieve success in 80 cycles
The AWM Cam-Driven Line (CDL) is an ideal solution for highly dynamic assembly processes, offering optimal flexibility while taking up little space. Three platform sizes are available with 16, 24 or 32 stations depending on the requirements – a perfect variety for challenging assembly, testing or joining tasks.
The linear machine platform delivers excellent accessibility, a sophisticated protective cladding system with integrated rooftop switch cabinet and a range of combinable handling modules. The extensive AWM assembly kit makes it possible to configure Pick & Place units as well as assembly or testing technology to suit the precise requirements.
How the CDL works
A central drive using a toothed belt moves both the horizontal main shaft and the stepped motion gear. This propels the cycle chain, which operates at a preferred switching angle of 120° and provides four defined stopping positions. Below the table surface, cam discs control the movement profile of the stations. The linear and vertical movements are implemented precisely with cam rollers and bell cranks, relying on tension springs or pneumatic support depending on the design.
The advantages for you: maximum cycle performance, high process stability and an assembly-optimised platform that can be adapted to your exact production requirements.
New possibility of hybrid machines – integration also of electric or pneumatic driven stations in between the cam-driven stations, with reliable synchronisation. This provides a much higher flexibility, e.g. to produce different product variants, than would be possible with cam-driven stations only.
