Gantry Kinematic Systems

Precision and Flexibility for complex parts

Our panel assembly cells provide highest flexibility with large workpieces and high performance in panel assembly for your fastening process. The different systems are able to work on diverse structures and in a variety of angles. This makes industrial applications such as drilling and riveting more efficient and compatible for challenging  editing. A combination of our assembly stations increases the production workflow if needed even more and unlocks unimagined savings potential whilst automating your production processes to equip the Factory of the Future.

CPAC

The Clip Panel Assembly Cell is a high performance system that operates reliable and efficient with various workpiece constellations. An improved Acessibility enables further possibilities for component processing.

IPAC

The Integrated Panel Assembly Cell impresses with its small industrial footprint. Fast cycle times and proven reliability make this system attractive for all sizes of workpieces.

MPAC

The Multi Panel Assembly Cell is ideal for large parts such as wing covers or fuselage panels. It features fast reconfiguration as well as a high payload and high throughput rates which makes this solution even more flexible for panel assemly.

FRAC

The Frame Clip Assembly Cell is a flexible robotic assembly system with highest levels of automation even with narrow and complex contours. Its field proven technology is already integrated in more than 30 production sites worldwide.

Broetje-Automation demonstrates fully automatic installation of Ergotech® single-sided fasteners on PowerRace robotic system

For the production of each aircraft several hundred thousands of fasteners have to be installed. While mostly rivets that require a double-sided installation are used, single-sided fasteners have also become more and more popular in the industry. They are used to assemble primary and secondary aircraft structures especially in locations with limited accessibility.
