CNC Robotics from Veltheim
MABI Robotic AG, headquartered in Veltheim (AG), is a Swiss manufacturer of CNC robotic systems for subtractive and additive manufacturing processes. At the core is the MAX series, a 6-axis industrial robot with secondary encoder technology, increased rigidity and Siemens SINUMERIK control (840D sl / SINUMERIK ONE). The systems are used for CNC milling of large structures, laser deposition welding (LMD/DED, EHLA), Friction Stir Welding, model and mold making as well as finishing of battery trays. Materials include aluminium, steel, plastic, wood and carbon fibre as well as aluminium composite materials. The maximum repeatability is ±0.02 mm, the pose accuracy ±0.15 mm after factory-side Leica laser tracker calibration. Development, production and assembly take place in Veltheim; the German subsidiary MABI Robotic GmbH handles correspondence and warehouse operations in Waldshut-Tiengen and Bad Säckingen. Reference industries include automotive and electromobility, aerospace, energy, shipbuilding, metal processing, special machinery construction as well as universities and institutes.
