REFERENCES FROM THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

The course has been set – for the new ID.4

The ID.4 has been rolling off the production line at the Volkswagen plant in Emden since spring 2022. In future, the plant is to become a pure e-factory. We have automated the electric overhead conveyors for the conveyor technology manufacturer ROFA.

All-rounder with sensitivity

The task of our Bremen robotics specialists was to use an extremely dexterous multifunctional gripper for various tasks in the automotive industry. The idea: To use the sensitive gripping tool for assembly activities or logistical tasks.

Barcode and QR code reading

The automotive industry is now also benefiting from proven technology from the beverage industry. Automobile manufacturers use industrial barcode technology for precise control in many places. The system, adapted from the beverage industry, is more flexible and efficient.

Smooth and safe

In automotive manufacturing, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are increasingly replacing classic push platform or electric monorail conveyors (EMS). For this purpose, we have developed a master control system according to the corporate standard of a car manufacturer.

Connect intelligently and quickly

Without them, nothing connects in the interior of vehicles. Clips that are installed to fix visible parts to the vehicle body. For this purpose, our automotive experts developed a system for automatic assembly.

Transporting heavy loads quickly and safely

Crane systems are used whenever heavy loads need to be moved: Crane systems. Automotive customers are convinced by the effectiveness of our SCHULZ Crane Systems for special work processes.
