Dark rooms

We make our products in cells that run without needing light or an operator. Each cell measures, records and decides for itself; people design, build and improve the cells.

Our six automation cells are ready and in production; the metrology and test lab backs every cell’s quality decision.

The story of one shift

Floor 1 layout, 210 m². Illustrative drawing.
  1. 07:30

    Lights on

    The team sets up the cell: fixtures, feeding and recipe are checked.

  2. 22:00

    Lights out

    The cell runs on its own. Status lights and the laser are the only light left in the hall.

  3. 06:00

    Morning report

    Every part’s force–displacement record, dimensions and identity are ready. Out-of-limit parts have been set aside.

Production cells

We redesigned the cells with our own processes through mechanical technology transfer.

The path a mechanism takes through the cell.

  1. 1

    Feeding

    Vibratory feeders and grippers bring each part to the fixture in the right orientation.

  2. 2

    Assembly

    Pins, bushings, springs and bearings are pressed and placed by SCARA robots.

  3. 3

    Joining

    Orbital riveting, torque-controlled screwdriving or laser welding.

  4. 4

    100 % inspection

    Force–displacement curve, dimensions and function are checked on every part.

  5. 5

    Traceability

    Laser marking and RFID tie each part’s identity to its record.

  6. 6

    Packing and palletising

    Approved parts are packed and prepared for dispatch.
