Area 01
Design and engineering
We develop mechanical assemblies in Fusion and Shapr3D, specify the matching pneumatics and sensors and derive manufacturing drawings with tolerances, materials and parts lists.
Scope
- Specialised gripping technology
- Cost optimisation of existing designs
- Mechatronic assemblies
- CAD and digital workflow
- 3D visualisation in the existing machine
- Manufacturing documents

- What we do
- Recording the handling task, designing the gripping concept, part and assembly design, selection of suction cups, cylinders, valves and sensors, collision and envelope checks in the 3D model, drawing derivation and parts list.
- Which problem it solves
- A part has to be handled for which no catalogue product exists. The gripper on the robot no longer suits the new format. An existing part has become too expensive to manufacture. Or the cycle time is not being met because the mechanics are at their limit.
- Your benefit
- You receive a concept that fits the robot already in place, the real installation envelope and the required cycle time — plus documents any supplier can manufacture from. No obligation to buy from us.
Mechanical development from the initial task to manufacturing-ready documentation — including the design of pneumatic and sensor peripherals.
Specialised gripping technology
New design of robot and gantry gripping systems, sized for your handling task, the part weight and the required cycle time.
Cost optimisation of existing designs
Systematic revision of existing assemblies to reduce manufacturing and procurement costs — without changing function or interfaces.
Mechatronic assemblies
Development of mechanical systems including full specification of sensors and pneumatics: cylinders, valves, suction cups, ejectors and proximity switches.
CAD and digital workflow
Design in Autodesk Fusion, plus tablet-based 3D modelling with Shapr3D directly at the machine — survey and first model in the same visit.

3D visualisation in the existing machine
New components are placed into the existing machine in the 3D model and checked before anything is manufactured — envelope, collisions and access are visible in advance.
Manufacturing documents
Drawings with tolerances, material and surface specifications, parts list and assembly notes — handed over in a format any manufacturer can work from.
