THE AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE SYSTEM (AGVS)

The productivity of production lines depends to a large extent on the efficiency of the internal transport logistics. With our automated guided vehicle system (AGVS), you profit from significant efficiency gains and cost reductions through the unmanned and direct delivery of materials to production lines. Our special machines make completely autonomous loading and unloading possible for you.

SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE: POKA-YOKE MANUAL WORKSTATIONS & TEST STATIONS

Setting up of manual workstations is recommended if the volume is manageable or the activity could only be automated with a large investment. The advantage: Manual workstations can selectively be integrated into automated production lines or built as ‘standalone’ solutions. In both cases we ensure efficient, needs-based and ergonomic design of the workstations according to the latest ergonomics findings.

INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS FOR ELECTRIC MOTOR MANUFACTURING

With state-of-the-art production plants, electric rotor assembly and electric motor insulation can be designed to be ecological, cost-efficient and highly productive. Braun Sondermaschinen GmbH is at home both in the manufacture of electric motors and in the construction of assembly and coating systems and manufactures the production facilities for nearly all well-known electric motor manufacturers. In particular, we have continuously improved the insulation coating process and set new standards. We developed the revolutionary hairpin stator coating system in 2013 on the basis of the experiences gained.

INSULATION SYSTEMS FOR E-MOBILITY / HAIRPIN STATOR COATING

Stator powder coating using hairpin coating systems is a central step in modern electric motor manufacturing. The hairpin coating system reliably welds the hairpins with epoxy and creates the basis for a long component service life. Thanks to our lengthy experience in epoxy coating systems, we have succeeded in developing a technically mature process.

HAIRPIN STATOR COATING SYSTEMS FOR E-MOBILITY

THE INSULATION COATING IS THE KEY

The future of mobility is electric. That’s why we have been working intensively on coating systems for stator and rotor insulation in electric motors for more than 25 years now. In doing so, we look to innovative, future-oriented solutions for insulation of hairpin and I-pin stators. As technology drivers, we work closely with the scientific community and support research institutions such as KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) in developing solutions for electromobility.

The stator powder coating using hairpin coating systems is one of the keys to the future of e-mobility. The technical heart of the hairpin coating system is the reliable welding of the hairpins with epoxy – this process ensures durable, safe insulation. Thanks to our years of experience in developing ultra-modern epoxy coating systems, we can now offer you an efficient process with a high level of automation.

Overview of advantages:

  • hairpins are reliably covered
  • low risk of bridging between individual pins
  • thorough coating: The powder also reaches hard-to-access regions
  • flexible assembly cells with scalable solutions

Together with our partner we realise modern coating and impregnation solutions for e-mobility. In this way we use ecologically and economically meaningful synergistic effects. Would you like to find out more about our hairpin or epoxy coating systems? We would be happy to send you practical, informative videos.

EFFICIENT ELECTRIC MOTOR PRODUCTION WITH BRAUN COATING SYSTEMS

ELECTRIC MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRIC MOTOR COATING

Thorough, reliable insulation is the cornerstone of electric motor manufacturing. The impressively high availability of our epoxy coating systems of more than 95% is achieved both through imaginative handling technology and through advanced transport equipment for production goods passing through the epoxy coating systems. Using defined inspection features, we guarantee consistently high quality in our special machines for coating.

With our coating systems you profit from:

  • optimal edge coverage
  • perfect layer thickness of the applied coating
  • high mechanical impact resistance of the coating
  • quality guarantee thanks to electronic insulation testing

In our epoxy coating systems, we avoid heating the product prior to coating – this allows us to recover the excess powder and feed it back into the ‘fresh powder’ in an ecologically sound manner – without any waste.

Do you need videos of our epoxy coating systems? We would be happy to send you information.

INDIVIDUAL MANUAL WORKSTATIONS AND TEST STATIONS

ERGONOMICS IS THE KEY

Automation and manual work are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary, Modern manual workstations for the manufacture and assembly of products with the highest quality standards will continue to be an integral part of the manufacturing industry in the future. That’s why we offer conceptual design, development and construction of ergonomic manual workstations ideally tailored to the employees – for production lines and for standalone solutions.

We place the highest value on the ergonomic design of the workstation and an efficient production area design. We design the manual or partially automated workstations according to the simple and effective poka-yoke concept to enable the highest and most error-free possible output of production goods or goods to be tested.

In the planning of manual workstations and test stations, we cooperate closely with our customers and incorporate individual wishes and requirements into the design.

EFFICIENT LOGISTICS WITH INDIVIDUAL, SCALABLE AND MODULAR PALLETISERS

THE BRAUN SONDERMASCHINEN PALLETISER FAMILY

With our palletisers from the proven BS family, we offer our customers an individual, scalable and modular logistics concept that enables functionally coordinated material logistics for current and future requirements. The palletisers can automatically supply your assembly lines – economically, efficiently and with low maintenance requirements.

In order for us to be able to offer you the right solution for each individual requirement, there are currently five basic versions to choose from in the BS palletiser family. We would be happy to adapt them to your individual needs.

Depending on the desired level of expansion, we offer our palletisers in a customer-specific configuration – as a standalone variant with its own control or as an integration module with predefined interfaces to the customer facility. You can also choose freely when it comes to the handling: We can completely install the feed-in to the production line – or you can operate the transfer point yourself. We integrate all common handling variants, such as robots, axis portals or gripper systems.

Thanks to the modular and flexible system, we can handle a wide variety of loads with our palletisers: The range extends from blister packs through tray stacks all the way to trays or small load carriers on Euro pallets. We can also provide loading and unloading of load carriers on trolleys with our palletisers. Thanks to the large payload range from 40 kg to 800 kg, our special machines can palletise almost any product on a customer-specific basis.

WELCOME TO INDUSTRY 4.0

EFFICIENT LOGISTICS CONCEPTS AND PRODUCTION LINES WITH THE BS TRAY FEEDER

The precise coordination of logistics and production line has a decisive influence on the efficiency of production processes – this is exactly where the BS tray shuttle MiR250 comes in and represents the link between logistics and production.

With our autonomous mobile robot (AMR), we enable the autonomous reproduction of supply and disposal in production plants. The main task of the robot is to pick up the production material from the logistics areas and automatically feed it to the production facility. In addition, the innovative system is also able to transport semi-finished products to the next production stage. The integration of intermediate storage areas or buffers is also possible.

Owing to the variable transfer height of 200 to 1200 mm, the BS tray shuttle MiR250 is the ideal addition to our BS palletisers. With this a complete special machine with maximum autonomy arises. The BS tray shuttle MiR250 shows its strengths wherever safe manoeuvring in confined spaces is required.
