KLOTZ combines robotics, classical mechanical engineering, IT, sensor technology, electrical engineering and computer science to develop customized mechatronic special machines. This integrated approach enables the creation of highly complex solutions for various applications.
Floor socket welding system with automatic parts handling
KLOTZ has developed a state-of-the-art welding cell for base nozzles on pressure vessels to counter the increasing shortage of skilled workers and the growing number of variants in production. This innovative system automates the entire process from component feed to seam inspection, supported by a precise welding robot.
The welding cell combines a flexible bin-picking system, precise turn/tilt positioning and optical quality control in accordance with EN ISO 5817.
It ensures increased productivity, reduces dependency on operating personnel and guarantees consistently high seam quality, even with changing component variants.

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.
