UniCell
modular, freely configurable automation all-rounder for test/production applications

customize YOUR system

With the automation all-rounder UniCell we are now presenting an innovative, intelligent cell module system, meeting even the most challenging test floor demands in terms of maximum efficiency and flexibility.

With the adaptation to customized specifications, while maintaining an excellent price/performance factor at the same time, you are getting an ideal combination of standardization and customization, optionally as a stand-alone or system integration solution:

standardization + modular configuration = UniCell automation cell

With its smart and comprehensive modular building block system – e.g. robots, image processing and handling systems – our automation cell offers you a wide range of multi-functional utilization, application, and individualization options.

UniCell – compact automation genius

cross-industry, compact automation solution
highly precise and efficient → maximum productivity (24/7 operation) for cost optimization and fast amortization
standardized machine/design platform → short lead time, fast availability
modular design → virtually infinitely expandable and scalable
extensive selection of accessories and add-on modules (e.g. feeding systems, singulation systems, packaging systems etc.) of leading manufacturers
state-of-the-art software and electronics
standard interfaces (OPC UA) → Industry 4.0 prerequisite
clearly structured, standardized and, if required, individually configurable user interface → designed for intuitive operation
user-friendly HMI touch display for convenient system control – optionally:
- large touch display, e.g. for displaying error/defects images in optical inspections
facilitated operation, configuration, and parametrization
control cabinet integrable into system substructure plus storage option for robotics/vision controller (IPC)
robust and sturdy, welded machine frame made of steel (high rigidity) → optimum damping/shock absorption of dynamic robot motions, even at highest traversing speeds and force/load impacts
compact design, yet offering excellent accessibility for regular set-up/maintenance measures
easy automation cell transport (e.g. forklift truck) → meeting all requirements of contemporary production plants in terms of flexibility and mobility → flexible manufacturing, cost-efficient production

Select from a wide range of modular configuration options, and design your specialized automation cell – test and/or production "ALL IN ONE".

key features

modular design → expandable and scalable (800 mm grid)
stand-alone or system integration solutions → customized or standardized solution
enclosed stand-alone cell (machine) (e.g. with overpressure systems) → suitable even for "rough" ambient conditions
for small to medium-sized components/devices (including special components, test components, workpieces, material samples etc.)
prototype, micro-scale, small-scale, medium-scale, large-scale manufacturing
short delivery and assembly times
customized solution options → individually designable/expandable
for medium to high cycle rates – short cycle times possible
multi-functionality and flexibility → exchangeable process modules, exchangeable side walls/windows
plug-and-play → customer-specific interface preparation optional
robust and sturdy (high rigidity)
optimized accessibility facilitating maintenance and cleaning operations
integrated, consistently comprehensive safety concept (EMO, safety switches, light barriers etc.)
