About Gräff Robotics
Gräff Robotics GmbH, founded in 1991 and owner-managed, is headquartered in Hennef near Cologne and specialises in software development, programming and commissioning of industrial robots. Its team of around 20 permanently employed robot specialists supports customers from the planning phase through offline programming in systems such as Siemens Process Simulate, Delmia V5, Robcad, ABB RobotStudio, FANUC RoboGuide and KUKA Sim Pro to online programming at the production line, including cycle time optimisation. Further services include commissioning by certified safety commissioning engineers (e.g. KUKA SafeOperation, ABB SafeMove), remote maintenance via ISO-27001-certified VPN systems, maintenance, training, bin picking, integration with vision systems and integration of MRK robots (cobots). All common robot systems such as KUKA, FANUC, ABB, YASKAWA/MOTOMAN, STÄUBLI, UR and DOOSAN are covered, with projects ranging from one to more than 70 robots. Core industries are the automotive and supplier industries as well as mechanical engineering, with customers served worldwide.
