About autonox Robotics
autonox was founded in 2002 and specializes in the development and production of robot mechanics. The company manufactures controller- and drive-independent robot mechanics that can be combined with any control and automation platform. The portfolio includes parallel kinematics (DuoPod, DELTA) as well as serial kinematics (articc, sCara) with 2 to 6 degrees of freedom, rated loads from 0.5 to 850 kg and working ranges from 185 to 3275 mm Reach – according to the company, 376 available products. Manufacturing is carried out entirely in-house, including from carbon fiber composites, stainless steels, titanium, aluminum and steel alloys, and magnesium. Customizable versions include Hygienic Design, FDA-compliant materials, IP69K protection class, dust- and gas-tight as well as high-temperature-resistant designs and special coatings. Customers are mechanical engineering companies and robot integrators, among others from the packaging, food, pharmaceutical, automotive and machine tool industries. Application areas include packaging, logistics, machining, palletizing, loading and unloading, portioning, as well as measuring and testing.
