Collaborative Technology Solving Labor Shortages

Screwdriving with Cobots

Faced with severe labor shortages and reshoring initiatives, large and small manufacturers are investing in collaborative screwdriving systems that enable humans and robots to work in close proximity on assembly lines.


Utilizing Robotiq’s off-the-shelf screwdriving systems, robots make it easy to do quick changeovers and run small, varying size batches of related assemblies.

Simple, Adjustable Panel Mounting

item Multiblock PA

Multiblock PA is inserted into the profile groove at any position to provide easy, adjustable panel mounting. Light cladding panels and panel elements made from Acrylic Glass, Plastic or Compound Material must be provided with a bore at the appropriate location and screwed to the Multiblock.


Multiblock PA has two mounting locations plus a height adjuster which combine to give four offset positions from the edge of the profile. This allows different distances to be set to the edge of the profile so that panel elements of varying thicknesses can be screwed on flush.
