Robotics

Integration solutions for robotic applications in all industrial sectors – complete from the initial idea to the final product.

Robots are used wherever speed and flexibility are required during the production process. There is a trend here towards increasing performance and building intelligent systems. As an integrator, toolcraft builds universally applicable robotics solutions.

Our solutions.

toolcraft creates customised complete solutions, and you benefit from a dedicated point of contact for the hardware, software and electronics. All our automation solutions can be programmed offline or using G-code programming. Since assembly lines generally do not accommodate training or test setups, we also have a training cell, the Academia Box, which is capable of replicating a wide range of machining processes and areas of application.

Technology.

With our fully programmed integration solution, you can achieve uniform quality and precise repeatability. When operating in a workspace tailored to your requirements, robots can be used for a wide variety of tasks, from pick-and-place solutions to the complex machining of numerous materials. Following the conceptual design phase and feasibility analyses, you can choose a standard solution or ask us to create an automation package tailored precisely to your requirements.

Application.

Robot cells can be used to precisely process a wide array of materials by gripping, picking up, holding, sorting, milling, polishing and deburring objects. Our production solutions are used in virtually all industrial sectors.

01
Requirements and feasibility analysis

We ascertain the technical requirements and physically analyse which processing steps need to be replicated. This results in the creation of a basic design concept, which serves as the basis for a 3D simulation.

02
Simulation of movement patterns

We simulate the movement patterns so that we can determine the space requirements and real-time cycles to avoid collisions. Existing machines can be added using CAD interfaces.

03
Simulation of the workspace

By simulating the workspace virtually, we do away with the need for time-consuming physical tests. As an add-on, we can also create a virtual tour of your facilities.

04
Technical implementation

We design the entire system, even taking care of the programmable logic controller (PLC).

05
Assembly and installation

As part of our comprehensive approach, we take responsibility for the logistical aspects as well as the installation and maintenance.

06
Commissioning

We implement your automated solution, ensure that it is operating properly and train your staff.

The force of attraction

For ten years, the Section of Experimental Oncology and Nanomedicine (SEON) at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Erlangen has been researching innovative diagnostic and treatment methods. One of the techniques developed here by senior doctor Prof. Dr. med. Christoph Alexiou and his team is the magnetic drug targeting (MDT) drug delivery system. With the help of an innovative magnetic robot, the active substance can be transported directly to the areas requiring treatment.
