Precision automation for assembly manufacturing, PCB handling and testing — ESD-capable, repeatable, scalable.
Electronics manufacturing is among the most heavily automated industries — SMT lines run 24/7, pick-and-place machines place components at millisecond rates, AOI systems visually inspect every assembly. Still, plenty of work remains that is not suitable for either fast SMT lines or manual assembly: assembly handling between process steps, dispensing tasks, test handling, packaging.
This is exactly where NEXOS plays to its strengths. Compact cells with cobot, precise linear axes and repeatable path guidance — combined with ESD-capable specification — close the automation gap between the SMT line and end-of-line testing.
Automation also becomes economical for smaller batch sizes and product variants: the same cell concept is configured for different assemblies instead of building a custom system each time.
Electrostatic discharges of a few volts can destroy modern assemblies. Flooring, tools, handling — everything must be ESD-compliant and regularly verified.
Components are getting smaller, tolerances tighter. Sub-millimetre precision for handling and dispensing is becoming the standard requirement.
A few thousand units per variant, dozens of variants, product cycles under twelve months. Changeover must take minutes — not hours.

NEXOS.NovaAI-generated6-axis industrial robot with torque-controlled SensoDrive drive technology — payloads 6 to 50 kg, integrated torque sensors, ROS 2-compatible. Made in Europe.
Details
NEXOS.MotionMulti-axis gantry and portal systems built from NEXOS.Protec frames and NEXOS.LinDrive axes — from 2-axis portals to fully integrated XYZ systems for palletizing, machine tending and pick&place.
DetailsNEXOS.Nova achieves repeat accuracy in the sub-millimetre range — sufficient for practically all handling and dispensing tasks in electronics manufacturing.
NEXOS.Cube and NEXOS.Nova are designed for use in ESD-controlled areas — conductive floor connection, dissipative surfaces and documented material selection.
A single cell concept that works for 500-unit series as well as for volumes in the millions. Reconfigure instead of rebuild — matches the high-mix reality of electronics manufacturing.
Free initial discussion (30–60 min). We clarify the parts spectrum, cycle times, environmental conditions and integration into your existing IT/OT.
Component selection, layout, schedule, cost framework. On request with virtual commissioning in NEXOS.XR before manufacturing starts.
Fixed-price or milestone contract, with clearly documented scope of delivery, acceptance criteria and maintenance options.
Prefabrication in the workshop, on-site assembly, programming, acceptance per documented FAT/SAT. Optional: remote service via NEXOS.DSP.
These regulations are considered in our conception, implementation and documentation. Not every standard applies to every project — the specific selection is clarified in the project kick-off meeting.
