About COBE Engineering
COBE Engineering is a team of engineers based in Pliezhausen that has specialized for over 20 years in demanding clamping technology tasks in mechanical engineering and automation technology. The company develops and manufactures clamping cylinders in six series (CoPoS, MagnetCOP, PACCO, NUPUS, CC series), zero-point clamping systems, the Multiclamp clamping system, the COPOS geometry clamping system for body-in-white construction, as well as universal and fork milling heads and the compact 2-axis Cobot milling head for 5-axis machining. The portfolio is complemented by stainless steel quick-release couplings (fluid couplings) for hydraulics, pneumatics and coolants with up to 80 bar operating pressure and 50 l/min flow rate. Services range from design and simulation through manufacturing and assembly to testing, repair and maintenance. Customers come from body-in-white construction, press shops, mechanical engineering, aerospace, automotive, medical technology, tool and die making, and energy technology.

Quality
Every project undergoes in-house testing and inspection; defective clamping systems are examined, reworked in the workshop and comprehensively tested before being returned. Influencing factors and process forces are calculated and simulated as early as the development phase.
