Competencies and Range of Services
For over 60 years, Schaeffler Special Machinery has been developing and implementing custom machinery and systems for industrial production – from the initial system concept to stable series production, all from a single source. The core competencies lie in the areas of assembly systems, testing systems, machining machines, and handling technology. The portfolio includes, among other things, End of Line test rigs, balancing machines, lubricant test rigs, standard measuring devices, and the AllinOneCounter counting and filling machine for small parts. In addition, the company offers robotics including humanoid robots, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), production IT, process data processing, and additive manufacturing with the OmniForm 3D and OmniFusion 3D systems. The programmability and modularity of the systems enable lean, scalable production concepts, complemented by services such as planning and project engineering, simulation, machine service, and retrofit. With a global network of 13 locations, Schaeffler Special Machinery supplies customers in the automotive, e-mobility, industrial, medical technology, and consumer goods sectors worldwide.
