01 / Custom machinery
Mechanical concept
Machine functions, motion sequences, layout and interfaces with the process.
CUSTOM MACHINERY / INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Custom machinery.
Design and engineering.
Special-purpose machines, production equipment and connected control systems. We coordinate mechanical, electrical and software considerations according to the agreed project scope.
Discuss the technical scope
01 / WHEN A CUSTOM MACHINE MAKES SENSE
When off-the-shelf equipment cannot meet the process.
A custom machine may be the right option when product handling, operation sequence or spatial constraints do not match standard equipment. We examine the actual production process, machine functions and control requirements together. Scope and responsibilities are defined in the technical specification.
- Special product handling, positioning or production operations.
- A new workstation or transfer machine must integrate with an existing line.
- Mechanical functions need to work with a tailored PLC/HMI control system.

03 / PROCESS
From requirements to commissioning
- 01
Requirements assessment
Review products, cycle, operating environment, users and safety-related tasks.
- 02
Concept and specification
Define functions, machine interfaces, constraints and scope of supply.

- 04
Testing and handover
Verify functions, carry out adjustments and complete agreed acceptance tasks.
04 / FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Do you only develop entirely new machines?
- No. An upgrade, an additional station or a stand-alone machine module can also be the subject of a project.
- Can you also develop PLC programs and operator screens?
- Yes, where PLC/HMI work is included in the mutually agreed technical scope.
- How are machinery safety and compliance addressed?
- Risk assessment, legal and conformity duties are defined early, with appropriately qualified partners where required.
