About

We are one of the leading suppliers of pneumatic and electric handling components and systems in the world. In the field of intelligent gripping technology (mechatronic handling devices) for robotics (end-of-arm tooling), both cooperative and collaborative, we have always been one of the innovation drivers in our branch. Our company manufactures series production components in metal, plastic, and elastomers (metal injection moulding, plastic injection moulding, elastomer technology, and innovative MIM technology). Our company combines 42 years of experience, high flexibility, and a wide breadth of production. In the field of automation technology, we have about 13,000 standard products and as many derivatives. We are present in the following technology areas:

Handling technology: Components such as swivel units, grippers and robot accessories as standard or semi-standard solutions.

Damping technology: Industrial and soft close shock absorbers for safely decelerating and breaking all types of movements.

Machine tooling technology: Single components such as motor spindles, zero-point clamping and transport systems.

Linear technology: Clamping and braking elements for positioning, holding and braking for a wide range of applications.

System technology: Customer-specific solutions combined from all technology areas.

Process technology: Economic series production of products made from metal, plastic or elastomers.

In the last 10 years we have successfully participated in several national and European research projects. We have developed target-oriented, innovative and robust solutions for the applications specified by our partners and driven them forward to the functional prototype stage.
