Custom Assembly Lines from GROB
From Semi-Automated to Fully Automated Production Lines
No two assembly tasks are alike. Product architecture, variants, production volumes, and process requirements determine how an assembly line must be configured.
GROB therefore develops and manufactures custom assembly lines for complex assembly processes and high production demands. Individual assembly stations are integrated into a seamless system and coordinated with regard to cycle time, material flow, automation, and product variants.
The result is high-performance assembly lines for demanding industrial applications—from the assembly of individual assemblies to complex series production.
For complex production tasks, it is often not enough to focus solely on assembly. The key lies in the interaction with upstream and downstream manufacturing processes. GROB can therefore combine assembly technology and machining technology into a single integrated system.
Production steps are coordinated right from the design phase. GROB handles the planning, simulation, manufacturing, commissioning, and comprehensive trial run. This results in an end-to-end production solution with clearly defined interfaces.

Material Flow as a Key Component
A high-performance assembly line requires a stable flow of materials and workpieces.
GROB combines various transport and interlinking components to achieve this. The components are selected based on the part, process sequence, and required cycle time.

Assembly Lines for Various Applications
Whether it’s an internal combustion engine, gearbox, electric motor, or battery system—GROB develops assembly solutions for a wide range of assemblies and production requirements. In the field of conventional powertrains, the range of applications includes, among other things, engines, cylinder heads, automatic and manual transmissions, axle gearboxes, and mechatronic components.
At the same time, assembly lines for e-mobility are being developed, including solutions for electric motors, battery modules, battery packs, and fuel cell stacks.
The design is always tailored to the specific application. Thanks to its modular structure, the GROB concept is also suitable for a wide range of industries and industrial applications.
The combination of standardized components and customer-specific design creates the foundation for assembly lines that can be adapted to changing products and production requirements.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About GROB's Assembly Lines
An assembly line is a system consisting of several automated assembly stations that perform the various steps of an assembly process in sequence.
GROB develops custom assembly lines for, among other things, cylinder heads, engine blocks, automatic and manual transmissions, electric motors, battery modules, battery packs, and fuel cell stacks.
GROB implements semi-automated and fully automated assembly lines. The degree of automation is determined based on the specific assembly task, production volume, cycle time, and cost-effectiveness.
The stations can be connected to one another, for example, using interlinked conveyors, lifting and rotating tables, as well as part carriers and pallet systems.
Yes. An assembly line can combine fully automated, semi-automated, and manual stations. This allows the degree of automation to be determined individually for each process step.
Yes. GROB can combine assembly technology with machining technology, for example, to create an integrated, comprehensive system.
The system is designed during the concept phase to address process flow, cycle time, and material flow, and can be simulated. A comprehensive test run is conducted at the GROB plant prior to delivery.
