High-quality assembly systems
At Rohwedder, strict compliance with product quality and safety standards is an integral part of our success. Our process management system and ongoing internal auditing ensure the excellent level of quality that our customers have come to expect of us. This strong commitment to quality is carried through to the shop-floor as well as in dealings with our suppliers and contractors.
In keeping with our commitment to quality, Rohwedder is DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 certified. Transparent and efficient workflows as well as motivated and dedicated employees guarantee that Rohwedder customers can rely on a high level of quality.
Compact platforms for accurate positioning of components
MicRohCell® compact platforms are flexible, cost-effective, semi or fully automatic assembly cells for components which demand high position-accuracy. The capability to interchange the complete assembly table (MicRohFlex®) in the shortest possible time gives you the opportunity to react instantaneously to changes in customer orders. The base machine’s precision gantries, vision and control units remain unchanged, while the easy-to-use operation ensures a quick and smooth change from one production process to the next.
High-speed micro-assembly systems
The MicRohCell® modular is the micro-assembly solution for the highest flexibility regarding quantities. Rapidly changing product demands and short product lifecycles are now also possible for large quantities. When the need for an adjustment arises during the ramp-up phase of series production, in case of a sales increase or varying or declining sales figures, you will always be able to respond adequately with the flexible MicRohCell® modular.
Reusable medical device assembly modules
A unique modular platform concept enables you to reduce product costs dramatically. You can install or remove up to eight process modules for assembling, testing and handling plug-and-play mode for product and variant changes, or you can add additional identical modules during the ramp-up phases. This flexible principle of reusable modules helps you to reduce your product costs and enables a rapid time to market.
