Modular technology for automation and robotics

FIBRO-GSA for the perfect automation solution and linking of your production lines. As a system partner in the area of part handling, transport, assembly technology and logistics, FIBRO-GSA offers both complete customer-specific solutions and individual standard modules in first-class quality and with high reliability for your industrial application. Thanks to the high degree of standardisation found in our components and individual units, we are always able to offer short lead times.

More than 30 000 linear gantry robots, belt systems, industrial robots, grippers, linear and rotary units based on a continuously evolving modular system have been installed around the world in the past 30 years. FIBRO-GSA offers perfectly thought-out modular solutions for applications in various branches of industry. Here, the areas of transport and logistics are two of the most important fields of application.

Translation, rotation and gripper modules can be combined to form a variety of equipment, from simple pick-and-place units to
multi-axis robots. Payloads of more than 3 000 kg, speeds of up to 6.5 m/s and distances of up to 130 meters are possible.

FIBRO supplies:

• individual modules
• ready-to-fit factory-assembled module combinations with no electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic systems installed
• ready-to-fit factory-assembled module combinations with electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic systems installed
• various families of gantries and robots LV, LH, KL, KOP, KOA
• turnkey systems with drives and controllers
• turnkey systems and I/O modules with drives and controllers
• palletizing systems

But the modular system is also ideal for users who need to build their own devices or automated installations for robotic handling and assembly. FIBRO provides the necessary planning know-how, as well as expert assistance with layout and design.

FIBRO has a full library of documentation and can advise you how best to assemble and use the various modules. If required, we can also supply all module-related data on diskette for incorporation into your own CAD system.

Well over 30,000 manipulators, industrial robots and systems based on our modular approach have been installed by a wide variety of manufacturers in Europe and elsewhere. Year after year, shift after shift, our modular systems keep on proving just how reliable they are, even in the harshest working environments.

Applications:

• Linking together machine tools
  
• Tool changing in machining centers
  
• Robots for induction hardening
  
• Palleting of workpieces
  
• Unloading injection-molding machines
  
• Loading (feeding) blanks
  
• Linking together presses
  
• Linking machinery in foundries, smithies and glassworks.
  
• For palletizing, stacking, loading and unloading, flexible interlinking, storing and buffering of variable work pieces.
