As a special machine manufacturer, we work with #aluminum and #steel every day – materials that enable #precision and #efficiency. But our heart also beats for the #ThuringianForest and the idea of sustainably strengthening the region through the raw material #wood. That’s why we at Zwerrenz Automatisierungstechnik GmbH are proud to be part of Holz-21-regio – an interdisciplinary alliance aiming to develop the Thuringian Forest region into a model region for resilient #valuechains based on wood. The #InnoLOG 2025 on November 27 at Suhl City Hall showed how powerful this vision is: Science, business, and administration have jointly set impulses on how we can connect innovation, sustainability, and regional strength. We look forward to advancing new ideas with creative partners and show…

While many people are happily biting into their pastries, a quiet #turningpoint is approaching in many production facilities: Experienced #skilledworkers are retiring—and with them, decades of often undocumented knowledge. 🔍 Example: The soon-to-be retiree knows: “A targeted, careful tap with a rubber mallet on the upper right corner always helps when the snapper mechanism gets stuck.” What is routine for him becomes a challenge for his successor—because solutions like this are not found in any manual. 📉 The consequences: Manual processes come to a standstill, error rates rise, and training becomes detective work... 📈 #Automation can be used here in a targeted manner: --> Secure and standardize knowledge --> Replace error-prone manual tasks with technology --> Make process…

In special-purpose machine construction, every detail counts. No two components are alike, and materials vary from aluminum to stainless steel to high-strength plastics. What happens in the background often remains invisible: No applause for the perfect fit. No congratulations for micrometer-precise machining. No headlines about the care with which individual parts are manufactured. But without this work, no special-purpose machine can function. 🛠️ Precision is a must, not an option. Because if complex systems are to run reliably later on, everything has to be just right during #milling, #turning, and #drilling—regardless of the material or the number of parts. ⚙️ Manufacturing is a combination of #experience, #process understanding, and technical #excellence. It is the backbone that…

You procure—we apply and test—fully automatically   Pressure equalization, ventilation, protection against water ingress The ways of applicating membranes are as diverse as their handling. We bring more than 30 years of expertise and experience in handling of ePTFE—from 📌 feeding (#bowlfeeder, #cutting process, #unwinding from the tape, etc.) to 📌 100% checking (#waterleaktest (#WEP), #airflow, #SPC test stations with #burst test).   Simply #automation from A to Z.

Perfectly packaged for #seafreight, we handed over this DAE system to the shipping company today.   Destination: #Bangalore, #India 📌 #Control: #Beckhoff 📌 #Cycle time: 7.5 seconds   📌 Stations in the #rotary indexing machine: 📍 #Material feed via #magazines 📍 #DAE feed via #bowlfeeder 📍 #Ultrasonic #welding of the #membrane onto the #plastic housing 📍 #AOI 📍 #Airflowtest 📍 #WEPtest 📍 #Stacking back into magazines
