Automated Assembly Systems

Increase the Efficiency of Your Production with Automation: The manufacturing industry faces ever-growing demands for productivity, quality, and flexibility. Today’s companies must be capable of assembling complex assemblies and high-precision components quickly and with absolute reliability. Semi- or fully automated assembly systems from Rotte provide an innovative solution to meet these requirements. By using advanced robotic cells, assembly processes can be efficiently automated—reducing production costs, minimizing error rates, and optimizing cycle times. With customer-specific concepts and state-of-the-art control systems, we develop special-purpose machines and assembly systems tailored precisely to your needs.

Greater Efficiency Through Automated Assembly

Manual assembly processes are often time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to scale. Especially with large quantities or complex assemblies, this leads to rising costs and quality fluctuations. Automated assembly systems offer a clear advantage: they work with consistent precision, around the clock, and independent of external factors. This improves product quality and significantly boosts productivity.

With flexible robotic cells, a wide range of assembly tasks can be automated and adapted to different product variants. Whether screwing, gluing, pressing, joining, or precision positioning—the technology is highly versatile and ensures safe and efficient component assembly. As production demands evolve, our modular systems can be quickly adapted to new products or processes.

Product Example

Automated Assembly Line for High-Pressure Cleaner Guns

Assembly and transport line
Optical component inspection
Optional laser part marking
Custom-developed special tools

The robot uses 2D-camera-based position recognition to pick assembled pressure washer guns from the conveyor belt and place them accurately into the screw station. In the first station, the two half-shells are pressed together with a pneumatic cylinder and transferred to the first screw station. There, four screws are fastened with a mounted screwdriver unit before the assembly moves to the second screw station.
Finally, the robot places an OK part on the “good” conveyor or an NOK part on the reject chute. A camera scans the 2D topography of the components and transmits the positioning data to the controller.

Automation as a Strategic Advantage

Implementing an automated assembly system offers much more than just efficiency gains. One of the greatest benefits is consistent, high-quality production. Robots work within tight tolerances that are nearly impossible to maintain in manual mass production. This significantly reduces rework and scrap. Companies benefit from:

High product quality: Robots deliver precise, consistent results with low scrap rates.
Improved ergonomics: Physically demanding tasks are automated, reducing the risk of work-related injuries.
Higher employee satisfaction: Staff can focus on value-added tasks.
Cost savings: Lower error rates, optimized production times, and reduced labor costs result in a fast return on investment.
Scalability: Automated systems can be easily adapted to increasing production demands.

Technology Combining Precision and Flexibility

The success of our systems lies in the combination of powerful robotics, intelligent controls, and precise sensor technology. This enables the creation of advanced assembly systems that adapt to your industry and products—and can be programmed for specific use cases.

At the center are our industrial robots, which deliver high repeatability and precise motion control—even in the most delicate assembly tasks. Depending on the application, we use articulated-arm robots for complex movements, robots for high-speed pick-and-place operations, or collaborative robots that integrate seamlessly into existing work environments. Each solution is developed in close collaboration with our customers—you define the required automation level, the type of assembly tasks, and the technical components needed for a tailored complete solution. With advanced sensors and powerful grippers, our cells can also handle sensitive or difficult-to-manage parts reliably and safely.

Versatile Applications in Industrial Production

Automated and flexible assembly systems are essential across many industries. In the automotive sector, they enable high-precision engine assembly. In electronics, they support the handling of PCBs, sensors, and microcomponents. In the furniture industry, they join panels, fronts, handles, and fittings. In medical technology, they ensure strict hygiene compliance and process safety. In packaging, machinery, and consumer goods manufacturing, flexibility and adaptability to changing product demands are key.
Our tailored assembly solutions are ideal for companies introducing new product lines or managing high product variety in their production.

Tailored Solutions for Your Manufacturing Needs

Every company has unique requirements when it comes to assembly processes, which is why we don’t offer off-the-shelf systems—we develop custom automation concepts. Each project begins with a detailed analysis of your existing production workflow, station by station, to identify optimization potential.

After development and construction, we integrate the system seamlessly into your production line. Our experienced technicians ensure all interfaces are perfectly matched, so the system is ready for immediate operation. We also provide training for your staff to ensure smooth operation and maintenance. Even after installation, we’re there for you with comprehensive service and maintenance—including regular inspections, software updates, and on-demand optimizations.
