1. Pick & Place in
the automotive industry
In automotive production, pick-and-place robots are essential for the precise and rapid positioning of components. However, high cycle times and abrupt movements place a tremendous strain on the robots and peripheral equipment
Typical Challenges
• High mechanical wear on cables and corrugated tubes.
• Tensile forces leading to cracks, loop formation, or abrasion
• High maintenance costs and unexpected downtimes

2. Parts handling
in the foundry
In foundries, robots perform the precise removal and further processing of cast components. They are exposed to extreme conditions—release agents, chips, molding sand, and heat.
.
Typical Challenges
• Heavy contamination from process waste
• High thermal and chemical stress
• Increased wear on cable assemblies and corrugated tubes
• Frequent maintenance and production stoppages
Our solution
Protection and monitoring for harsh environments.
