About us
SCS Robotik GmbH is a system integrator based in Schmalkalden that automates manufacturing processes with industrial robots. The service portfolio includes the design and integration of robot systems (Universal Robots, Fruitcore Robotics, Mecademic), complete solutions such as transportable welding cells for MAG and TIG welding, hole-plate loading systems for machine tending, and AI-based bin picking based on Cambrian Robotics. Further offerings include robot-assisted quality control, industrial image processing, pick-and-place applications, grinding and polishing, bonding and dispensing, singulation systems, automated guided vehicle systems (AGVs), and safety technology including CE marking. In-house software developments such as URCaps for Universal Robots controllers complement the integration. Customers come from metal and plastics processing, mechanical engineering, and the electronics and assembly industry. Integration of grippers and suction cups, safety components and testing equipment is carried out across manufacturers according to customer requirements.

Processes & Systems
Universal Robots (Cobot)
Collaborative robots for flexible automation with small batches and fast changeover times.
Fruitcore Robotics (6-axis industrial robot)
Industrial robots in three sizes (600/1000/1400 mm reach), frequently used for handling and testing of metal and plastic components.
Mecademic Meca500 (lightweight robot)
Ultra-compact precision robot (repeatability 0.005 mm) for micro assembly, testing and pick & place.
Bin Picking (Cambrian Robotics)
AI-based part recognition without training on the robot; cycle time approx. 6–8 s, minimum part size 1 mm³.
Robot welding cell (MAG/TIG)
Transportable, CE-compliant welding cell with UR10e, Siegmund welding table and manufacturer-independent welding technology.
Machine loading system (hole plate)
Loading system with URCap for raw parts up to 20 kg payload, variants KM-1300-10, KM-0900-16 and KM-1700-20.
Automated guided vehicle systems (MiR, Omron)
Autonomous transport robots with payloads up to 100 kg or 250 kg without structural modifications.
Singulation (Asyril)
3-axis vibration technology for parts from 0.1 mm to 150 mm.
Dispensing/Bonding (Aim Robotics FD series)
Dispensers for 310 ml cartridges (silicones, acrylates, adhesives, polymers) with repeatability ±1 %.
Industrial image processing (Omron, Keyence, Cognex)
Vision systems for quality control including programming of the communication interface.
