Special Machines for Building Components – Flexible, Efficient, Customized

Building components are as diverse as the buildings they’re installed in. Standardized manufacturing solutions often fall short. That’s why our team develops systems precisely tailored to your products, cycle times, materials, and assembly processes—fully addressing the diversity of your industry.

Our solutions are used across a wide range of applications in the manufacturing of building components and cover an extensive spectrum of high-quality products and complex processes. They are employed in the production of doors and windows made from PVC, aluminum, or composite materials, as well as for rolling and sectional garage doors, awnings, façade elements, mullion-transom systems, and a wide variety of accessories. Our technologies also efficiently support the processing of insulating glass and thermal insulation systems.

The focus is on automating core processing steps within the production chain. Our systems handle profile processing and the precise feeding of raw materials. Cutting, drilling, milling, and welding of components can be fully automated. We also integrate automated assembly processes for fittings, seals, and glass elements, combined with reliable bonding, screwing, pressing, and sealing technologies.

To ensure a smooth material flow, we provide solutions for conveying, buffering, sorting, and stacking components. Finally, our systems take over end-of-line inspection and packaging of finished elements—ensuring a continuous, efficient, and high-quality production process.

Robotics & Vision Systems for Complex Geometries and Changing Variants

Especially in the case of diverse building components within broad product portfolios, it’s essential to intelligently control automated processes and flexibly respond to varying dimensions, shapes, or equipment versions. For this, Rotte combines advanced robotics with powerful industrial vision systems to identify components, position them precisely, and process them with consistent quality.

The combination of robotics and vision technology enables highly customizable manufacturing—with no compromises on cycle times or process reliability.

Our solutions include:

Pick-and-place robots for handling profiles, glass panels, or small parts
Camera and sensor systems for position detection and quality control
Flexible assembly cells for different element sizes and shapes
Robot applications for the application of sealants, adhesives or assembly kits

Conveyor and Transport Systems for Large, Delicate Components

As a full-service provider for turnkey production lines, Rotte develops and implements holistic solutions tailored precisely to your requirements for cycle time, product variety, and process quality. We support you from the first concept well beyond commissioning—with comprehensive services from a single source.

At the core is the individual consultation and planning of a manufacturing concept that integrates seamlessly into your processes. We then handle the design and production of all mechanical and electrical components—precisely, reliably, and with the highest quality standards. Modern control technology and vision systems are integrated along with all necessary interfaces to higher-level systems.

Assembly, commissioning, and employee training take place directly on your premises to ensure a smooth production start. And even after that, we remain by your side—with long-term service, regular maintenance, and ongoing system optimization.

Whether you are building a new facility, expanding existing lines, or targeting the automation of specific tasks—with Rotte, you’re choosing industry-leading expertise and a partner who speaks your language, understands your needs, and thinks holistically about your processes. Let us advise you personally—today!

Conveyor and Transport Systems for Large, Delicate Components

Elements like window frames, façade profiles, or door panels are often bulky, fragile, and heavy. For smooth and safe material flow, we develop specialized conveyor systems that ensure optimal handling and logistical efficiency.

We ensure seamless, synchronized, and gentle movement of your products—from raw material input to final logistics units.

Our technology includes:

Chain, roller, and belt conveyors specifically for profile and flat material transport
Rotation stations, lift units, and transfer systems for complex production steps
Buffer and sorting systems aligned with your production logic
Material flow solutions for preassembled and fully finished components
Integration with storage and shipping areas via automated interfaces
