About ATG Automations-Technik Gröditz
ATG Automations-Technik Gröditz GmbH & Co. KG, based in Gröditz (Saxony), develops and supplies custom plant engineering and special-purpose machinery. Its range of services covers engineering, production automation, complex production cells, testing systems for valves and fittings as well as maintenance, servicing, retrofitting and remote diagnostics. The core competence is the patented outlet-forming (Aushalsen) technology: an incremental internal rolling process for seamlessly attaching branch outlets to tubes for T-pieces and fittings made of stainless steel, steel, copper and brass. The outlet-forming machine is designed for tube diameters from 12 to 67 mm with wall thicknesses up to 5 mm; the mobile or stationary outlet-forming module processes tubes from 160 mm diameter. Testing technologies include leak testing systems up to 1400 bar (air-underwater, helium, hydrogen) and burst pressure tests up to 2560 bar. Customer industries include valves and fittings, sanitary technology, piping construction, metallurgy and the manufacturing industry; delivery is worldwide.
