Rauschert Steinbach has replaced six-axis robots with WITTMANN W828 linear robots in its injection molding processes, enhancing automation and efficiency. The facility produces 600,000 plug components annually for air suspension systems using a standardized automation concept.

The integration of linear robots allows for quick setup, reduced manual work, and the ability to handle over 300 molds with varying production needs. The new system improves production flexibility, reduces setup times, and enhances energy efficiency. Rauschert aims to calculate the CO2 footprint for its products as part of its sustainability efforts.
