Solutions development in dialogue
Project management
Simulation
Every project starts with a talk. You describe your product to us, your requirement
and your objective and we present you the corresponding possibilities and solutions
so that we can reach this objective together. You will receive support from the same
employee, who will be at your disposal at any time throughout the entire development
of the product. This permits short paths and a close contact without information
loss. It is important to us that that you receive the best support possible!
Prior to the implementation the following have to be determined and decided
about; requirement, possibilities and the volume of your project. In the project
design phase the procedure and goals are determined, individual work steps to the
implementation are mapped out and carefully planned. We do not leave anything to
chance and at the same time we maintain the freedom and flexibility that are
required to react to unexpected events and changes in the course of the project in
an appropriate and relaxed manner. Planning foresight permits us to implement
deviations at short notice.
Already during the planning phase we have the goal in mind. The functions of your
systems are developed in 3D and, if required, we will present it in a simulation.
We exclusively use modern software for this purpose. Sequences, cycle times and
interfaces can thus already be visualised before the start of the production and
are continuously optimised during the development. Already in the planning phase
we create the conditions for highest possible effectiveness and contribute to
strengthening your market position in the long term.

Design
Control engineering
Production
Commissioning and assembly
During the design phase ideas take shape. Our strong team consisting of engineers
and technicians is characterised by both its creativity and its specialist technical
knowledge and cross-industry experience. We design your system layout in
three-dimensional views and permit the testing of the individual components in a
coherent system using simulation. The aim is to optimise existing processes and
to smoothly integrate new modules in the work process; completely independent
from the size and volume of the respective project.
Control engineering connects process and machine and turns your system into an
intelligent one. Therefore it is obvious and sensible to purchase design and control
engineering from one source. Our team of electrical planning engineers, electronics
technicians and programmers deal with software development, preparation of circuit
diagrams and systems automation; from the simple motor control via all SPS controls
and robot programming to the connection to existing ERP systems. We see your
system in context. This avoids costly interfaces and unnecessary information loss
We attach great importance to the standardisation of procedures and products in
order to smoothly integrate individual elements into existing processes, if required,
and to be able to transfer existing solutions to related tasks. This saves us and our
customers time and costs. Apart from different versions, sizes and colour and
depending on the sector and application area, we offer even material alternatives,
develop specialised grippers, cells and safety concepts so that a large whole in
terms of profitability and efficiency is created.
We only leave once your system is up and running! Trained fitters carry out the
professional installation and the integration of the individual elements and they
monitor the commissioning on site. If requested the approval inspection can also be
carried out in our premises. For this purpose your system is set up in our assembly
hall, all specific components and functions are tested and released. Only then the
individual parts are taken to their point of destination and integrated in the running
operation, if required. Like this we avoid unnecessary assembly-related downtimes.
During commissioning an extensive introduction to handling the system is given.
Expertise
Complex projects are the sum of many
details. We concentrate on every single
one of them.

TRAPO develops individual material
handling systems
We plan and develop solutions for individual complete systems,
completely independent from complexity and volume of the respective
company and its production processes. In close cooperation with you
as customer, we create customised material flow systems that are the
basis for economical production methods and that can give you a
significant advantage in terms of competition.
Besides planning and development, our range of services also comprises
the production, assembly and control of the conveying and handling
systems. Being at your disposal as full service provider when it comes
to conveying and handling, we are able to react to different requests
and demands in a competent manner. Your personal contact person will
advise you in all issues and will forward your requests without any
information getting lost. This is comfortable and above all saves time
and costs.

Materials handling elements
TRAPO optimises existing processes
Our standardised materials handling elements are manufactured in
accordance with the modular design principle and can be integrated
into a new or existing system in a fast and smooth manner. They
offer all features that are required to enhance the processes within
your system:
Speed – The quality of our conveying elements and technical
solutions make the planning of deadlines easier and safer.
Flexibility – Our products are available in various models. Thanks to
this they can be variably used and randomly extended by using add-on
components.
Reliability – Our multi-directional roller conveyors, chain and belt
conveyors handle even heavy loads with high speed in a uniform and
safe manner.
Optimum utilisation of space – Our conveyor systems offer powerful
solutions for both large and small areas.

Robotics and handling systems
TRAPO develops complex
handling systems
The requirements for robotics and handling systems are as diverse as
the goods to be transported. Our product range meets this diversity.
Our experience permits us the use and handling of robots of all
leading manufacturers and makes. The heart of a robot cell, however,
is the gripper. Only the gripper eventually permits the execution of the
specific handling tasks that might have very different and individual
requirements, depending on the transport material.
The central transport material within the process is the product. The
grippers can also handle the change of pallets, loading of intermediate
layers and test and inspection tasks. We develop grippers for a variety
of possible materials, application areas and ambient conditions.
Depending on what you want to move, what space is available and how
many work steps are to be carried out simultaneously, we shall choose
the appropriate gripper together with you. Key criteria here can be the
gripper weight and the precision of the gripper, size, service life, safety
conditions, changeover times and connection options.

TRAPO | Robotics and handling systems | 14 / 15
We always find a solution, independent from the shape, weight and
surface of the respective transport material. Our gripper range permits the
handling of solid, smooth materials and soft, porous materials, cartons,
sacks and pallets to very small thin and fragile parts. Even delicate goods
are effectively handled by us whilst avoiding any damage to the material.
Combination grippers are particularly suited for small areas, where
several work steps are to be carried out simultaneously.
Fork grippers cannot only hold flimsy carton boxes or sacks, but also suck
intermediate layers or grip empty pallets.
Mechanical grippers grip smooth surfaces securely and safely whilst
preventing deformations.
Vacuum grippers are suited for smooth, air impermeable goods
of any shape.
Magnetic grippers take up relatively little space and work even in
the event of a power-cut.
Needle grippers grip and carefully transport soft, porous products
where suction is not possible.

Service and maintenance
TRAPO keeps your production running
After the successful commissioning of your system we shall continue to
be at your disposal as contact person and as responsible company we
naturally offer you the maintenance of the system we installed. For this
purpose we will draw up an individual maintenance contract together
with you, depending on the type of system and your applications.
Regular maintenance of a system is essential to ensure safety and
efficiency. Downtimes are reduced to a minimum and best possible
use is made of the utilisation capabilities. For system concepts can
greatly differ depending on their size, volume and purpose, we shall
specify individual maintenance intervals for your system in the
maintenance contract.
