ZELTWANGER Automation
Based on the principle "modular – individual – flexible" Zeltwanger
Automation GmbH provides assembly and testing systems that are used in
medical technology, automobile industry, and in general industrial
applications. In addition to fully automated workpiece carriers and robotic
assembly systems, we focus on manually linked "one-piece-flow" line concepts
and ergonomic single user systems.
In the medical and bio-tech areas, we create systems compliant with the
European and American standards and the guidelines of GMP (“Good
Manufacturing Practice").

Seal testing systems with moving carrier plate
Seal testing systems with sliding carriage are used
primarily for castings from gear box and engine, for cylinder heads, or
large plastic components.
The benefit of the testing systems with sliding carriage is its modular
concept and the ergonomic shape and feed height.
It also makes it possible to use various testing methods, such as
overpressure, underpressure, differential pressure, and mass flow. The fact
that it is easy to reconfigure for the different workpieces increases its
flexibility and the automated feeding and unloading of components simplifies
the process.

Seal testing systems "Lean"
The seal testing system "Lean" is designed to be an
individual testing station for manual and automatic loading. It can be
integrated into one-piece-flow lines and is suitable for smaller and medium
sized plastic components, aluminum, and cast steel parts.
A big plus is its modular and space-saving design and its ergonomic shape.
It can be used for air testing methods or helium chamber leakage detection.
Another advantage is the great flexibility of the cell concept: various cell
sizes, possibility of integrating into several processes, and a highly
secure investment.

Seal testing methods with test gas
With the newly developed He-chamber leak test it is now
possible for the first time to detect leakages of up to approx. 1*10^-4 mbar
l / s under environmental conditions.
Compared to traditional He-methods, this procedure has the advantage that no
energy- and maintenance- intensive vacuum pumps need to be used.
We offer mass spectrometry systems for the detection of leakages of <
1*10^-4 mbar l / s.

One-piece-flow systems
One-piece-flow increases flexibility
One-piece-flow manufacturing is a production concept that helps prevent
waste and is able to handle a greater number of variations for batch sizes
of one. As our slogan "modular – individual – flexible" suggests, Zeltwanger
does this by providing its customers with modular construction kits in the
form of well thought-out process stations.
One-piece-flow manufacturing is logically based on line production. In
contrast to conventional assembly lines, the employees do not stay in the
same location all the time but accompany the workpiece the entire way from
one assembly system to the next. By following through all assembly steps,
workers can establish a better relationship with the product.

 |
Chain systems
Chain systems are particularly useful for assembly jobs
with a large number of individual processes with a high degree of
automation.
We offer a number of standardized process modules depending on the workpiece
size of 220, 440, and 660 mm grids.
In addition to traditional belt-based transfer systems, we also offer rapid
feed systems for cycle-time-optimized workpiece carrier changes.
|
 |
Testing systems
In addition to testing systems for seal testing we
produce function testing systems. This also includes hydraulic nominal line
testing for pumps, and electrical testing of circuits.
|
|
Rotary indexing table systems
Revolving transfer table systems are suitable for
assembly jobs that usually require up to eight individual assembly steps. On
many cases a worker loads and unloads the workpiece. Another advantage of
Rotary indexing table systems is the quick transfer of workpieces from
station to station. Rotary indexing table systems distinguish themselves
through a better price/performance ratio compared to longitudinal chain
systems.
|
 |
Palletting systems
The benefits of our palletting assembly are obvious. Its
slender construction, its modular concept, and the arbitrary expandability
of the vertical and horizontal stacking units provide a great degree of
flexibility.
The ergonomic blister feed height allows for reliable work that is
additionally supported by the freely programmable stacking path for
different blisters.

Kreativ in die
Zukunft gedacht mit variablen Robotersystemen
ZELTWANGER hat sich bereits seit den Anfängen des Geschäftsbereichs
Automatisierungstechnik mit dem Thema Polieren von orthopädischen
Komponenten für die Medizintechnik beschäftigt. Meist sollten manuelle
Polieraufgaben automatisiert werden. Dabei hat sich die ZELTWANGER
Automation GmbH umfangreiche Kompetenzen bei keramischen Werkstoffen
angeeignet, wie sie in der Medizintechnik zum Einsatz kommen.
Für das Polieren von komplexen Freiformflächen haben wir ein variables
Robotersystem entwickelt, welches beispielsweise bei orthopädischen
Komponenten aus Metall oder Keramik Verwendung findet. Zur Voreinstellung
der Prozessparameter können mit Hilfe unserer Polieranlagen alle Arten von
Oberflächen zum Test poliert werden.
Neben dem Polieren sind wir auch auf roboterbasierte Entgrat- und
Bearbeitungsprozesse spezialisiert. Um individuell auf kundenspezifische
Anforderungen eingehen zu können, führen wir in unseren Anlagen Vorversuche
mit einzelnen Werkstücken durch. Für optimierte Ergebnisse bei
Entgratvorgängen verwenden wir auf die Anforderungen unserer Kunden
abgestimmte Geräte. |

Plug assembly systems
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
We offer turn-key plug assembly systems for the
manufacture of plugs and housings with integrated contact surfaces. These
systems contain the following processes: pin placement, injection moulding,
testing, and palleting. Our modular, flexibly expandable pin placement system
is suitable for placing punch-bend pieces and pins that are fed by belts and
formed or sheared to length by integrated punches. The pieces are fed either
directly into a workpiece carrier that is fed into the injection moulder as
a "hot insert" or into a workpiece carrier that carries the pre-placed parts
to the injection moulder. For competitive reasons the images do not
correspond to our latest state of development. Please contact us for
questions in this regard. |
