Manufacturer of measuring robotic systems for automated quality inspection, haptics measurement and virtual simulation
Battenberg Robotic GmbH & Co. KG
Marburg (Headquarters)New on Amplifa
Measuring Robotics since 1982
Battenberg Robotic is a manufacturer of measuring robotic systems based in Marburg. The company combines industrial robots, measuring and testing sensors, external metrology and its own measuring software RobFlow© to create robot-supported inspection solutions for automated quality inspections. The portfolio includes stationary measuring robotic systems, the Climate-Robotic measuring system for tests in the climate chamber from -40°C to +80°C, the RobSimulation simulation software for virtual commissioning, and the autonomously mobile robot RobMobil with a 7-axis cobot. Applications include haptic and optical quality inspections of vehicle components, touch panel inspections, luminance and color measurements, ultrasonic testing of aircraft composite materials, and final inspection of medical devices. The company supplies customers in Europe, the USA, Canada, Mexico and China and offers services such as contract measurements, sensor calibration, maintenance, rental systems and training.
