Case studies
Projects that run.
Behind each of these products is a requirement that standard components could not meet. Here you can see how we solved challenges in robotics, electronics, firmware and motion control.
Confidential
Many projects we are not allowed to show.
A large part of our work is covered by non-disclosure agreements: robotic actuators for humanoid and mobile robots, a machine with half the installation space, or a redesign that saves one customer CHF 841 per unit.
We are happy to tell you in person what we have already done in your industry, as far as the agreement allows.
Projects
Selected Projects
