Automation solutions for machine tools, special-purpose machinery and production lines — from handling to palletizing.
German and European mechanical engineering is under pressure: smaller batch sizes, more variants, shorter lead times and a persistent skilled-labour shortage. Traditional special-purpose machines with six-figure engineering costs are no longer an option for many applications.
Modular automation closes this gap: instead of engineering every task from scratch, we combine standardized NEXOS building blocks into a repeatable cell. This reduces engineering effort, lowers investment cost and makes systems scalable — from the first single-part automation to unmanned night shifts.
Exactly this approach makes automation economically attractive for smaller series and mid-sized manufacturers.
What used to be calculated as a special-purpose machine with six-figure engineering effort must now remain economical for smaller series. Modular cells from the kit significantly reduce the cost of design and commissioning.
Programmers, maintenance staff and operators are scarce. Standardized building blocks shorten onboarding — every cell follows the same operating logic, diagnostics and maintenance procedure.
Existing systems are often still mechanically sound, but at their limits in terms of control and I/O. NEXOS cells can be attached to existing lines as an add-on — with open interfaces instead of vendor-specific protocols.
Machine Tending
AI-generated
Automated loading and unloading of machine tools (CNC, presses, test stations) with cobot cells — 24/7 operation, typical payback in 8-18 months.
Details
Palletizing & Depalletizing
AI-generated
Robot-assisted stacking and unstacking of boxes, sacks or workpieces — cobot cell up to ~25 kg, gantry solution for higher payloads and cycle rates.
Details
NEXOS.CubeAI-generatedModular robot cell built from standardized components — quickly deployable, repeatable, industrial-grade. Basis for machine tending, assembly, testing and bonding applications.
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.
Details
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.
DetailsEvery cell is based on standardized modules — what works today will also work on the next order with a different configuration.
No months of custom engineering. Configuration from the modular kit, installation and commissioning in weeks instead of quarters.
Digital services (NEXOS.DSP) and Digital Twin (NEXOS.XR) can be added later — investment protection and step-by-step digitalization.
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.
