Automation for precision engineering

The range of precise mechanical products extends across a wide variety of industries. Whether high-precision sensors, actuators, optical systems or components for medical devices - accuracy and reliability are essential in all of these areas. We have already implemented a large number of automation solutions for our customers. We use innovative manufacturing processes to ensure maximum precision and quality.  By using modern image processing, even the smallest and most inaccessible product components can be inspected during the manufacturing process. Whether contactless systems for semiconductor base plates or 3-dimensional image acquisition for shaped objects, our teams can implement customer-specific requirements with high-precision lenses.

Anodizing system

for medical components

The system developed by IMSTec combines the anodizing process with efficient inspection. The processed components are also cleaned and dried. 

Handling of parts

Handling of parts
  • Automatic picking an placing of parts for manufacturing, here cylindrical tools
    Identification of tray and parts
    Detection of part location, even randomized location to prevent touching of shaped parts
    Here, handling of cylindrical shaped tools with Ø2.5-25 mm (up to 1.5 kg) without changing machine parts
  • 100 % part traceability
  • Part presence sensor
  • Wide variety of samples
  • System Overall
