GROB Assembly Technology for Automated and Flexible Manufacturing

Modular, Precise, and Tailored to your Production Requirements

GROB develops and manufactures custom assembly systems for demanding industrial manufacturing processes. From individual assembly processes to complex, fully automated production lines, we create solutions that are precisely tailored to the product, production volume, cycle time, and degree of automation.

The GROB assembly concept combines standardized modules with customer-specific designs. This allows assembly stations to be flexibly combined, formed into automated systems to form complete assembly lines, and integrated into existing manufacturing environments.

Custom Assembly Lines

A modern assembly line must do more than simply join individual components. It must ensure a stable flow of materials, achieve defined cycle times, handle different variants, and at the same time guarantee a high level of process reliability.

GROB therefore develops assembly lines based on individual customer and project requirements. Individual stations and components are designed specifically for the respective assembly task and combined into a complete system.

In doing so, manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic processes can be integrated within a single system.

This results in assembly systems that are suitable for both demanding individual processes and high-productivity series production.

Assembly Lines for Varying Degrees of Automation

Not every process requires the same degree of automation. That is why GROB develops solutions that are precisely tailored to each specific application:

Fully Automated Assembly Lines

Fully automated systems handle the defined assembly processes with as little manual intervention as possible. They are particularly well-suited for high-volume production, short cycle times, and repetitive processes.

Semi-automatic assembly lines

Semi-automated solutions combine automated process steps with manual tasks. They offer a cost-effective solution when certain steps cannot be automated in a practical or cost-effective manner.

Assembly lines with manual stations

Manual stations are particularly useful for tasks with varying work content, small batch sizes, or assembly tasks that are difficult to automate. They can be integrated into a larger system and combined with automated stations.

From an Assembly Station to a Complete Assembly Line

As a systems provider, GROB integrates conventional machining and assembly technology into a comprehensive production solution. This allows, for example, machining processes and downstream assembly processes to be planned and coordinated within an overall concept.

GROB handles the planning, simulation, manufacturing, commissioning, and comprehensive factory trial run. This reduces interfaces between individual suppliers and establishes end-to-end technical responsibility for the entire system.
