Automation and Process Optimisation
Industrial Automation and Intralogistics 4.0
We develop creative and effective automation concepts for our customers. In doing so, we realise complex specifications, achieve productivity gains, conserve resources and reduce sources of error.
We think in a solution-orientated way. That’s why we integrate innovative components and focus on Industry 4.0, but also always take a look at proven and simple processes. This is how we design projects that will help our customers move forward in the future and meet the challenges of our time.
Would you like to make your internal logistics more efficient, increase your productivity and modernise processes? We will be happy to advise you on customised, needs-based solutions for your company.
Project Example from CKO: optimised Feeding of a Circuit Board
CKO realised an automation process for an automotive supplier in this mechanical engineering project. The circuit boards, which were previously removed manually from a large sheet metal container and placed in the separating device, were to be fed using existing welding robots and a specially developed gripper. The aim was to optimise work steps and minimise the risk of injury to employees from sharp-edged sheets.
Today, automation works in such a way that the robot takes stacks of sheets from the magazine container with a gripper and feeds them to a straightening station. Using powerful compressed air cylinders, the individual sheets of the sheet stack are first aligned with each other using lateral pressure impacts. The aligned stack of sheets is then lowered into the separating device via a lifting entry. The separating device then feeds the sheets individually to subsequent punching and bending presses for further processing.

Smart Solutions in Mechanical Engineering require smart Components: the Transport System from montratec
As experts in the field of mechanical engineering and special machine construction, we offer you customised solutions that integrate perfectly into your production processes and solve problems efficiently. That’s why we rely on high-quality, innovative components from our strong partners in design and planning, which we ourselves have found to be convincing.
The modular monorail system montrac® helps you to organise your internal logistics faster and more efficiently. Production processes are optimally and flexibly linked. The montrac® shuttles form the centrepiece of the system. The conveyor vehicles, which move self-centred on the monorail, are equipped with an integrated energy supply and highly developed sensor technology.
Internal Transport
Workpieces are transported precisely with sensor-controlled distance control and a speed of up to 55 m/min.
Efficient Process Interlinking
With the modular system, we can optimally adapt the track to the spatial conditions.
Optimised Intralogistics
The transfer system is particularly energy-efficient and easy to maintain with low downtimes.
- payload depending on version: 15, 30 or 50 kg at a speed of up to 55 m/min
- the 5-beam sensor module solution on the front and rear axle ensures collision-free cornering and reversing.
- the system is 100 % antistatic and fulfils the guidelines in accordance with EN61000-6-2:2005 and EN61000-6-4:2011.
- maintenance-free low-voltage motor, low-maintenance modular drive and control units, shuttle and points are the only active components
- flexibility: the modular system can be integrated into existing production structures; the number of shuttles enables simple scalability
