Fezer’s VacuStand plays a pivotal role at d&b audiotechnik’s production facility in Backnang, Germany, enhancing both ergonomics and manufacturing efficiency. This case study showcases how vacuum handling technology supports high-performance audio assembly while maintaining operator health and precision.
Fezer VacuStand is deployed in the production of d&b audiotechnik—recognized worldwide for its cutting‑edge loudspeakers, amplifiers, and immersive software systems used in concerts, theaters, stadiums, and cruise ships.
The VacuStand supports wooden speaker enclosures weighing 30–40 kg during manual finishing, ensuring that each surface is treated without strain and every side is within comfortable reach.
During assembly, the VacuStand fixes enclosures securely using vacuum technology, preventing scratches and ensuring stability—even for complex shapes.
As production transitions to electronics integration, smaller VacuStands accommodate precise component insertion, allowing for ergonomic posture throughout every assembly step.
VacuStand improves process efficiency by reducing lift time and repositioning effort, while adjustable height supports operators of different statures.
By minimizing physical strain, it reduces injuries and illnesses caused by repetitive lifting, contributing to long-term workforce well-being.
Fezer partnered with d&b to tailor VacuStand solutions for assembly of their premium sound systems. The integration reflects both firms’ commitment to quality and efficiency.
d&b’s mission—“Democracy for Listeners”—is reinforced by manufacturing systems that ensure uniform audio excellence and precision at scale, supported by ergonomic workflows.
This real-world example illustrates how vacuum lifting stands can transform industrial workflows:
Industrial operators seeking to optimize assembly processes will find inspiration in this collaboration.
