Manufacturing Solutions for Mobility Today and Tomorrow
The automotive industry is undergoing the most significant transformation in its history. Electrification, digitalization, rising cost pressures, and global supply chains are fundamentally changing production processes. At the same time, manufacturers must design their production processes flexibly, utilize existing production capacity efficiently, and rapidly scale up new technologies.
GROB supports this transformation with one of the most comprehensive product portfolios in the industry. From universal machining centers to complete turnkey machining solutions and highly automated production systems for electric motors, batteries, and fuel cells, GROB offers its customers integrated manufacturing solutions from a single source.
The demands on vehicle production are constantly increasing. In addition to short product life cycles and a wide variety of models, manufacturers must flexibly adapt their production capacities to new vehicle platforms and powertrain technologies. At the same time, rising material and energy costs, international competition, and a shortage of skilled workers are increasing the pressure on manufacturing.
The shift toward electric mobility, in particular, is fundamentally changing production processes. In addition to traditional powertrain components, manufacturing solutions for electric motors, battery cells, battery systems, and fuel cells are becoming increasingly important. At the same time, the highest quality standards, reproducible processes, and maximum equipment availability must be ensured throughout the entire production cycle.
End-to-end manufacturing solutions that intelligently integrate conventional machining, assembly, automation, and digitalization—and enable cost-effective production regardless of batch size—are therefore crucial.
Solutions & Machinery
The production of modern vehicles requires more than just individual machines. What matters most is the coordination of all manufacturing steps—from the precise task of machining individual components to a fully automated production line.
GROB works with its customers to develop customized manufacturing concepts and supports projects from initial planning through to series production. Consulting, machine design, automation, and digitalization are seamlessly integrated to create a stable, cost-effective, and future-proof production process.
In addition to high-productivity machining solutions for cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, transmission cases, battery trays, mega-castings, and other structural components, GROB offers complete manufacturing solutions for the production of stators, rotors, e-axles, battery systems, and fuel cells. From individual machines to turnkey systems and fully automated production lines, GROB covers the entire value chain of modern automotive production—including heavy-duty applications.
Early in the project phase, our experts analyze production processes, parts, and quality requirements. Together, we develop customized manufacturing concepts—ranging from individual machines to turnkey production lines.
Feasibility studies, process analyses, and trial machining lay the foundation for cost-effective and scalable series production.
GROB offers manufacturing solutions that can be flexibly adapted to different production strategies and production volumes. Whether it’s a high-performance standalone machine, an automation system for machining cells, or a fully automated production line—all solutions are custom-designed for the specific component, process, and production goal.
The portfolio ranges from universal machining centers and high-productivity machining systems to complete turnkey lines for the task of machining cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, battery trays, mega-castings, and other structural components, as well as for the production and assembly of stators, rotors, electric axes, battery systems, and fuel cells.
Through standardized modules, scalable system concepts, and the close integration of machining, assembly, automation, and digitalization, production systems are created that can be efficiently expanded, adapted to new vehicle platforms, and operated cost-effectively over the long term.
GROB's manufacturing solutions cover a wide range of automotive components.
These include engine blocks, cylinder heads, transmission cases, and chassis components, as well as stators, rotors, electric axles, battery housings, and other components of modern battery electric vehicles.
Intelligent machining strategies result in cost-effective manufacturing processes with consistent quality.
Automation increases machine uptime, reduces non-machining time, and ensures reproducible processes.
GROB combines standardized automation modules with customized solutions for part and pallet handling. Measurement systems, washing systems, and component marking can be integrated just as easily as existing manufacturing systems.
GROB’s digitalization solutions intelligently connect machines, processes, and production data.
Transparent manufacturing data, continuous process monitoring, and the integration of existing systems lay the foundation for efficient production control and cross-site collaboration.
