Technological Innovation Increases Process Reliability and Productivity at Röchling Automotive in Wackersdorf

At the Wackersdorf plant of Röchling Automotive Germany SE, the use of innovative cable packages from SUMCAB Specialcable GmbH has significantly optimized injection molding processes. These specially developed solutions help reduce wear on removal robots, shorten cycle times, and markedly improve overall productivity.

Tailored Solutions for Dynamic Robotic Movements

The cable packages were precisely adapted to the robots’ complex movement patterns. They ensure flexible yet stable guidance of energy and media cables, even under high stress. A key feature is the Plug&Play installation, enabling quick integration into existing systems.

More Efficiency with Less Downtime

Thanks to the cable packages’ high wear resistance, downtimes are minimized, and maintenance is significantly simplified. Since the successful pilot installation in 2016, Röchling Automotive has started converting all injection molding systems to SUMCAB technology. SUMCAB technicians assist the conversion on-site and adapt the packages individually to the specific requirements.

A Practical Perspective

Rudolf Lietz, Maintenance Group Leader at Röchling Automotive, gives a positive assessment:

“We are very satisfied with SUMCAB’s products. The process reliability of our systems has improved tremendously, and we were able to significantly reduce cycle times.”

Innovation as a Driver of Reliability

The collaboration between Röchling Automotive and SUMCAB impressively demonstrates how targeted technological innovations can sustainably increase the efficiency and reliability of industrial processes – a model for the future of manufacturing.
