  • Screwing
  • Resistance welding

MIG / MAG

Robotic welding systems

With decades of experience in the field of rear axle and front axle carriers, we are at the forefront when it comes to the development and design of highly automated robotic welding systems for chassis construction.

The future goes electric

Electromobility

Assembly lines for battery systems and modules

In electromobility, we support our customers with our expertise in the assembly of battery systems and modules.

In battery production, we support you in the entire concept planning for the production of battery systems in flexible assembly and testing technology, including the planning of production requirements such as emergency concepts and cell material handling.

Our close cooperation with one of the leading manufacturers of high-performance lithium-ion battery systems means that our employees are always up to date with the latest production technology requirements.

End-of-line testers

Customized end-of-line testers to safeguard your production processes.

Our portfolio includes the optical final inspection with camera technology up to the battery test bench.

We work together with our sister company h-kon GmbH to deliver a complete system from construction to commissioning on site. We have already planned, designed and implemented several battery assembly systems in close cooperation with AKASOL AG.

Industry 4.0

Digital factory

Production lines are planned within the digital factory at Schulz Engineering.

The digital twin of the production line contains the real geometric dimensions and the requirements of the production processes. The system concepts are mapped in virtual reality 3D simulation systems to validate the system and process concepts in advance for production areas and logistics during planning. The output of the production lines is verified with a dynamic simulation model according to VDI 3633.

Traceability and worker assistance system

For production lines with manual workstations, we can offer planning and implementation for a worker assistance system with traceability and quality gates.

In this system, smart devices such as screwdriver controllers, automatic testing machines, etc. are integrated with OPC UA and the process parameters are stored. PLC automatic stations can also be connected to the system.

We are here for you
