Automated Punching

We manufacture your custom punching machine as a special solution

High-precision punching of molded parts is a crucial production step in many industries. Especially in the automotive, aerospace, construction, and packaging sectors, components must be pierced, perforated, or stamped with exact fit to meet functional or assembly-related requirements. Traditional manual processing quickly reaches its limits in terms of efficiency, precision, and reproducibility.

Your automated punching machine from Rotte

Each of our robot-based punching solutions gives you clear competitive advantages through full automation and a significant reduction in error rates. Consistent quality is ensured across all batch sizes. Even with challenging materials or complex geometries, our systems deliver flawless results. At the same time, the automated process control ensures efficient use of materials and energy, helping to lower operational costs and conserve resources.

Another major advantage is scalability and adaptability. Our clients benefit from a system that is optimized for both large production volumes and small, highly varied batches.

Application areas for automated punching

Robot-assisted punching of molded parts is suited for a wide range of industrial applications. Requirements for hole patterns vary greatly depending on the sector in which the parts are used. Whether it’s ventilation openings in technical plastic components, precision cut-outs in sealing fleece or filters, functional bores in metal parts, or perforations in packaging materials—in all these areas, Rotte’s expertise ensures precise, flexible, and reliable results.

High-precision punching through robotic automation

With Rotte’s automated punching solution, we offer a robot-based system that can be flexibly adapted to individual customer requirements. Our technical platform for punching molded parts combines advanced robotics with intelligent control, enabling fast, precise, and cost-effective processing of a wide variety of materials. Using industrial robotic arms equipped with specialized tools, complex hole patterns can be executed with the highest repeatability. CAD-assisted programming allows for exact adaptation to different part shapes and geometries, making it possible to achieve even the most intricate contours with consistent quality.

More flexibility through modern robotics

Our automated punching system is built on a modular technical platform that can be tailored to the customer’s specific needs. Thanks to the latest robotics, sensors, and control systems, we guarantee maximum precision and efficiency—even in highly variable production processes.

Robotics for requirement-specific processing with punching machines

At the core of our solution are flexible industrial robots equipped with specially developed tools designed for various applications. Depending on the use case, different processes can be applied, such as mechanical punching systems and stamping tools for fast, forceful perforation, as well as milling and drilling tools for precise edges and clean cut-outs. Intelligent path planning of the robot arms ensures that every hole is placed exactly as intended—regardless of the shape, material, or surface of the workpiece.

Sensors and vision systems for exact positioning

Rotte’s automated punching machines utilize advanced vision systems and sensors to detect molded parts precisely and analyze their position in real time.

With the use of 2D and 3D cameras and optical sensors, tolerances are automatically identified and compensated for, ensuring consistently high precision—even when parts vary slightly in dimension or material composition.

Intelligent control for flexible adaptation

Our punching platform is operated via a powerful control software that allows for simple adaptation to new production requirements. Changes to hole patterns, part shapes, or material types can be made directly via an intuitive user interface, with no need for complex retooling or manual adjustments. Additionally, our solution is fully compatible with higher-level ERP and MES systems, enabling seamless control and monitoring of production processes.
