About LTS Lenkering
Lenkering Technische Systeme GmbH (LTS), founded in 1999, is a family-run company based in Steinfeld (Mühlen) and part of the Lenkering Group. The company plans, designs and manufactures special-purpose machinery and automation solutions: fully automatic assembly and testing systems, semi-automatic systems, and modular platform systems for small batch sizes, high variant diversity and fluctuating call-off volumes. The systems process components made of plastic, metal and aluminium die casting and cover processes such as assembly, bonding, greasing, laser marking (DMC code), packaging integration and ESD-compliant assembly. Fields of application are primarily the automotive sector (automotive interior), the bicycle industry, and plastics and metal processing. Robotics implementation is carried out among others with industrial robots from KUKA and HORST. In addition, LTS operates an online shop for pneumatics and shut-off valves.

Materials & Processes
Plastic
Processing of plastic components in assembly, bonding and greasing processes, among others for automotive interior assemblies.
Metal (Steel)
Assembly and testing of metal parts in fully automatic systems, in some cases at an 8-second cycle.
Aluminium die casting
Assembly of assemblies made from aluminium die-cast and plastic components, e.g. for the bicycle industry.
Fully automatic assembly & testing
Automated assembly and testing systems for high volumes at short cycle times.
Semi-automatic assembly
Combination of automated sub-processes with manual operator tasks.
Modular platform systems
Interchangeable adaptations for flexibility in variant diversity and fluctuating call-off volumes.
Robotics (KUKA, HORST)
Industrial robots for bonding systems, testing systems and 6-axis laser marking (DMC).
Laser marking (DMC code)
Robot-based direct marking of components with Data-Matrix code.
