Assembly systems
For more than 35 years, KLOTZ has been designing customized partially or fully automated assembly systems for production and manufacturing technology. Our diverse solutions have helped customers from various industries to optimize their production processes and increase efficiency.
Final assembly and testing of servo-electric steering drives
The assembly line for the final assembly and testing of servo-electric steering drives includes tasks such as joining and bolting the motor and ECU, welding contacts, surface pre-treatment, gluing the protective cover, flashing the ECU, leak testing and functional testing, whereby strict requirements for technical availability, cleanliness and ESD must be met.

Semi-automatic assembly press for seals and bearings in the steering housing
The semi-automatic assembly press enables radial shaft sealing rings, roller bearings and wipers to be pressed and greased into commercial vehicle steering housings, with sensors monitoring the placement and position of the components. Force- and displacement-monitored joining processes with graphic display ensure quality assurance. The press can be converted to different housing, bearing and sealing ring types, with tools and holders coded to prevent mix-ups.

Fully automatic joining device for steering valves
The fully automatic joining device for steering valves is precisely designed for insertion into rack-and-pinion steering systems. With the help of an industrial robot, imaging and force torque sensors, force-monitored assembly takes place with greasing of the rack and feeding of the support bearing. This system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, ensures high quality with a cycle time of just 23 seconds per steering valve and thus improves efficiency and quality assurance.

Assembly line for commercial vehicle steering systems
This assembly line is used for the manual assembly and testing of power steering systems for commercial vehicles.

Fully automatic screwing, measuring and adjustment stations in steering assembly
The steering assembly machines enable the screwing of housing covers, the measurement of axial play and the presetting of the friction torque for commercial vehicle steering systems in the assembly line, whereby automatic recognition of the steering types enables a smooth model change without manual intervention and the workpiece feed takes place via a conveyor belt.
1997
Fully automatic assembly machine for decorative and trim rings
The fully automatic assembly machine for decorative and trim rings was developed to enable high flexibility and increased productivity in the assembly of these rings. The system can process up to six different sizes of rings without retooling and offers simple operation and a high degree of automation. It is equipped with state-of-the-art drive and control systems and enables the production of high-quality products with minimal manual effort.
1992
Assembly machine for rings
The ring assembly machine was developed to meet the changing requirements for the edge protection ring in glass-lined pots, using a combination process that enables precise assembly of the protection ring and is controlled by a powerful electronic PLC controller.
1988
Peripheral device for robot assembly island
1987
Precision range
A universal pallet was developed to supply and dispose of sensitive cylindrical shafts in a flexible production cell. The pallet consists of a precise inner part and a robust outer part to ensure precision, robustness and low weight. It can be handled by various transport devices and enables precise positioning of the workpieces with a high load capacity.
1987
Mounting device for cylinder heads
An assembly system for cylinder heads was developed and integrated to assemble cylinder liners and valve seat rings made of ceramic material into the heads, with automatic positioning and fixing, supported by a robot and magazine systems; the system is designed for three-shift operation.
1985
Automatic belt feed
KLOTZ developed a coiler for a high-performance line that can be fed alternately without having to turn the coil. The lateral coil guides are made of cast aluminium and anodized, and the decoiler can accommodate coils with an outer diameter of up to 800 mm and a minimum inner diameter of 250 mm. A contact plate ensures tension-free feeding of the system, and a coil deburrer can be supplied on request.
