The rotor assembly system is a highly automated solution for the efficient production of rotor assemblies. It combines process steps within a seamless one-piece-flow concept, enabling short cycle times with high precision. An adaptive logistics concept ensures smooth material flow, while integrated measuring and testing equipment guarantees continuous quality control. With complete process data acquisition, the system is fully prepared for Industry 4.0 and can be flexibly retooled within a product family – ideal for use in dynamic manufacturing environments with the highest demands on precision and efficiency.
