machining are mounted on the portal, moving on rails. Con-
trolled by a machining program, the portal moves in such a
way that the moving tools, such as drills or milling machines,
can be activated at the right places on the plate.
If an operator now gets in the way of the heavy gantry, ac-
cidents could happen. However, large-area barriers would get
in the way of the space required by a production facility or
workshop. But by using bumpers, the controller reacts with
lightning speed to unplanned contact and stops the heavy
machine.
Domestic production
When walking through production, it’s surprising to notice
that ASO manufactures most of the elements itself. Long con-
veyor lines run through production; the rubber elements are
also produced here, and their development is precisely con-
trolled.
