Solutions for robotic applications

Robotic lifting column designed to raise and position heavy components with precise, automated vertical motion.

SPECIAL ROBOTICS LIFTING COLUMN

The PHOENIX Robotics Lifting Column provides extended reach, innovative performance, and versatile application options across various industries. It is particularly effective for robotic tasks such as palletizing and depalletizing, where stability, load capacity, and safety are critical. The column features exceptionally low deflection, enabling precise movements and safe operations without compromising robot functionality.

CONCRETE PRODUCTION

A key feature here is the semi‑automated production process with intelligent controls. A custom-designed 12.5‑ton stacker crane equipped with a STAHL CraneSystems hoist lifts concrete elements weighing up to 6 tons from the production line, stacks them onto transport trolleys, and delivers them to the loading area. Multiple crane receivers are operated via a single transmitter.

AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOTS (AMRs)

The image above shows an AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) navigating independently using sensors and processors to transport materials within a production facility — without requiring predefined paths or physical guidance systems. During operation, AMRs continuously learn and optimize their routes.
