Engineering
Our engineering in manufacturing automation refers to the application of engineering knowledge and techniques for the design, planning, development and implementation of automated manufacturing processes and systems. Engineering is one of ATG's core competences. We work closely with cooperation partners (mechanical engineering, single-part production) for the realisation.
Co-operation with research institutes to develop and improve technological processes is also a high priority for ATG. Current research is focussed on the further development of incremental collaring for wall thicknesses of up to 20 mm. ATG is also involved in the determination of material data for hydroforming.
Our engineering services also include the creation of risk assessments for existing machines. Due to new safety requirements or in accordance with §3 of the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health, machines and existing concepts must be regularly checked with regard to safety technology and adapted to the state of the art. A retrofit process can then be carried out by ATG on the basis of a risk analysis carried out by us.
Overall, engineering in manufacturing automation plays a central role in creating highly automated production processes that improve product quality, reduce production costs and increase competitiveness. It requires multidisciplinary collaboration between electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, software developers and other professionals to be successful.
