Precise gripping proven a million times

igh quantities, extreme
quality requirements
and keen competition
are shaping the production
of injection-moulded parts
for the automotive industry.
For ensuring this balancing
act successfully, Denk
Kunststofftechnik relies
on consistent automation
with powerful handling
components at the front-
end: SCHUNK grippers
permanently ensure high
precision in the self-designed
handling systems and reliably
supply the plant controller
with relevant process data.

60% full automation, and the
trend is rising rapidly. "We are
no typical plastic injection
moulders", says Konstantin
Spenst, Head of Automation
Technology at Denk, who
sees a significant factor
for the success of the high
degree of automation at the
Gevelsberg site in the Ruhr
metropolis. This is the only
way for being able to output
between 500,000 and well
over 2 million parts per year
depending on the component
and plant, and to check 100%
of them.
