Industrial Devices and Custom Tooling for Safe, Accurate and Efficient Production

Industrial devices and custom tooling are project-specific auxiliary systems used to position, secure, guide, handle or transport workpieces during manufacturing, assembly, welding, machining, inspection and maintenance operations. Where standard equipment is insufficient, they help make the process safer, more controlled and repeatable.

Each system is engineered specifically according to part geometry, loads, tolerances, cycle time, operator access, occupational safety, handling method and site conditions.

What Is an Industrial Device?

An industrial device is auxiliary production equipment designed to hold, transport, lift, support, guide or secure a workpiece or equipment safely during an operation.

Depending on project requirements, the system may include:

• Steel-profile or plate supporting frame
• Locating pins and stops
• Mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic clamps
• Lifting lugs and forklift pockets
• Adjustable supports and pressure pads
• Rotary, tilting or sliding mechanisms
• Part-presence and position sensors
• Poka-yoke components
• Modular and removable connections
• Protective guards and safety stops

Advantages of Industrial Devices

Provide Accurate Positioning

Locate the part against defined datums and help limit dimensional variation.

Improve Production Repeatability

Support the same loading and process sequence in every cycle for more consistent results.

Support Occupational Safety

Enable heavy, sharp or difficult-to-handle parts to be transported and secured under control.

Reduce Cycle Time

Quick clamping, easy loading and controlled movement help shorten processing time.

Improve Operator Ergonomics

Hold the part at a suitable working height and access angle to reduce physical strain.

Offer a Modular and Upgradeable Structure

The system can be modified or expanded with new modules when products, capacity or process requirements change.

Types of Industrial Devices

Welding and Assembly Devices

Hold parts against correct datums for controlled joining operations.

Positioning and Clamping Devices

Keep the workpiece in a defined position and limit movement during processing.

Handling and Lifting Devices

Support safe transport of heavy or sensitive parts by forklift, crane or manual systems.

Inspection and Measurement Devices

Used for fast checking of dimensions, hole positions, form and datum points.

Machine Loading and Unloading Devices

Allow parts to be fed into and removed from machines in a controlled manner.

Maintenance and Service Devices

Special equipment that simplifies removal, installation, support, alignment and maintenance work.

Our Production Process

Each project is evaluated individually according to part geometry, process type and operating scenario.

1. Requirements and Technical Data Analysis

Part drawings, 3D models, loads, tolerances, cycle time, operating method and safety expectations are evaluated.

2. System and Functional Design

Datums, clamping points, handling or lifting details, operator access, sensors and safety elements are determined.

3. Technical Engineering and Manufacturing

The supporting frame, machined plates, pins, stops, connections and custom components are produced according to technical drawings.

4. Assembly and Surface Treatment

Components are assembled accurately, and paint, coating, galvanizing, black oxide or corrosion protection is applied where required.

5. Dimensional, Functional and Load Inspection

Datums, clamping movements, handling points, sensors and, where applicable, behavior under load are checked.

6. Trial and Handover

Trial operation is completed with actual or sample parts, final adjustments are made and the device is handed over ready for use.

Modification and Reinforcement of Existing Devices

Wear, deformation, connection problems, capacity increases, product changes or new process requirements may require existing devices to be modified.

Following a technical inspection, the following works may be carried out:

• Renewal of locating pins and stops
• Replacement of clamping elements
• Reinforcement of frames and supporting plates
• Conversion from manual to pneumatic or hydraulic systems
• Modification of lifting and handling points
• Addition of sensors and poka-yoke
• Addition of modules for new product variants
• Weld and connection repairs
• Surface-coating renewal

Material, Surface and Equipment Options

Materials and equipment are selected according to load, accuracy, cycle quantity, process type and operating environment.

Carbon-Steel Profiles and Plates

Provide durable and cost-effective solutions for supporting frames and primary structures.

Machined Tool Steels

Used for locating pins, bushings, stops and precision components exposed to wear.

Aluminum Plates and Profiles

Can be considered where low weight, easy machining and fast modification are required.
