About Meto-Fer Automation
For over 30 years, Meto-Fer Automation AG has been manufacturing and supplying automation components and systems for industrial automation. The product range includes electronic sensors such as inductive proximity switches and through-beam sensors, pneumatic and electric linear units, gripper systems, rotary and swivel units, gantry systems and X-Y positioning tables. In addition, the company implements automated assembly systems, linear transfer and non-synchronous pallet part systems, pick-and-place stations as well as automatic spring feeders. A particular service feature is the complete repair and refurbishment service for pneumatic components, including individual repair programs and refurbished components. The offering is complemented by turn-key systems, machine vision system integration, vibratory bowl feeder integration as well as 2D and 3D AutoCAD files and technical documentation. The company is based in Grenchen (Switzerland) and maintains a branch office in Pittsburgh, USA, under the name mf automation, Inc.
