Company Profile
Kolibri Systemtechnik (Entracon Planungsgesellschaft mbH) specializes in solving simple and complex handling tasks with its own products and developments. The product range includes modularly designed handling devices, patented manipulators, balancers, lifting columns, mobile lifting aids and special systems for material flow technology. Handling systems typically consist of the lifting device (balancer or manipulator) and a specially manufactured end effector, such as mechanical, pneumatic, vacuum, magnetic or shear grippers with swivel and rotary units. The offering ranges from requirements analysis and design in CATIA V5, Inventor or Microstation and project management through to installation, commissioning, maintenance and safety inspections. Since 2011, mobile assembly fixtures for production lines as well as manual and semi-automatic assembly workstations for single-item and small-batch production have been planned and manufactured. Customers come from the automotive industry and its suppliers as well as from wood/building materials, metal and plastics processing, chemicals/fibres, foodstuffs and packaging. The site is located in Hamm-Uentrop in Westphalia.
