OUR COMPANY

The head office of Manz Automation AG is in Reutlingen, Germany. The company

is one of the world's leading providers of advanced technologies in the fields of

automation, quality assurance and laser processes for the photovoltaics industry.

It is also heavily involved in automation and wet chemistry for the LCD sector.

The core skills of the Manz Group include robotics, image processing, laser technology,

metallization, wet chemistry, plus control and drive engineering.

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

Manz process machinery and automation systems offer customers numerous advan-

tages. They are characterized by the highest levels of performance and reliability. Maxi-

mum process quality combined with low cost of ownership speaks volumes for the

development work and sophisticated system concepts.

The Manz Group maintains its own production facilities and service subsidiaries

around the world to guarantee short response and delivery times. You too can benefit.

Manz sets new standards with the quality of its process solutions and the reliability of its newly developed systems.

Manz Automation Tübingen GmbH is an independent subsidiary of Manz

Automation AG, whose head office is in Reutlingen.

The Tübingen facility concentrates on the automation of processes for

the manufacture of carbide indexable inserts and automation in the life

science sector. Other core skills involve packaging and the development of

industrial-scale manufacturing processes for batteries destined for hybrid

and electric cars.

The Manz Group has sales and service subsidiaries in Germany, Taiwan, the

USA, China, South Korea, India and Spain. It also has its own production

facilities in Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, Taiwan and China.

AUTOMATION FOR CARBIDEINDEXABLE INSERTS

From Powder to Box –made by manz

One of the main lines of business of the systems.

aico division is the delivery of economical and highly

efficient automation solutions for the manufacture of

indexable inserts made from carbide or ceramic powder.

The system solutions, which are based on standard pack-

ages, cover the automatic removal of the green pellets

from the powder press, the loading and unloading of a

wide variety of different types of machinery and process

machines through to the fully automatic testing and pack-

ing of components. The automation concept revolves

around powerful robots and reliable image processing

systems combined with a highly flexible and intuitive

user interface.

In order to automate the individual manufacturing

processes as economically and efficiently as possible,

a range of standardized and well-known interfaces are

required between the automation system and the pro-

cess machines. This is especially important in the field

of press automation, where robot and press work hand

in hand.

AUTOMATION FOR THE LIFE SCIENCE SECTOR

Intelligent Sample Processing –made by manz

The systems.lab division automates research and analysis

laboratories by installing compact and powerful robot

platforms and workflow management systems.

Manz offers a range of compact and space-saving labo-

ratory robot platforms specifically designed for research

and analysis labs. Their high-quality industry-standard

components make them reliable, powerful and easy

to upgrade. In addition, Manz uses workflow manager

software to automate multiple lab workflows working in

parallel in high-throughput facilities. In doing so Manz

closes the gap between LIMS, laboratory robots and

stand-alone laboratory equipment.

Our pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology and

diagnostics customers deploy these technologies in

standardized and customized system solutions for

sample preparation, compound logistics, formulating and

various other applications. They achieve

¬ higher throughput at a lower cost

¬ better process quality and

¬ reliable documentation of sample and

process data.

PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY

Packaging –made by manz

The majer.products division produces machinery and sys-

tems for the manufacture of cardboard and foil packag-

ing material. Its program includes systems for paper cans

(tubular cans), cheese boxes and safety closures (cap-

sules) for champagne and wine bottles. As paper cans are

wound spirally, we also manufacture systems for cylindri-

cal sleeves and tubes, most specifically yarn carriers for

the synthetic fiber industry.

We provide complete solutions for the efficient produc-

tion of paper cans and packaging applications, particularly

in the food industry, where sealing requirements are very

stringent. These do not confine themselves to machin-

ery and systems, they also address material and process

questions. This knowledge and our experience in the pro-

cessing and working of paper and foil results in a range of

synergies that benefit our business partners.

SYSTEMS FOR THE INDUSTRIAL-SCALE PRODUCTION OF LITHIUM- ION BATTERIES FOR HYBRID AND ELECTRIC CARS

Future Technology –made by manz

The foundation for this future-oriented division is the

successful synergy between the know-how of high-tech

machine builder Manz and the skills embodied in Majer,

which has decades of experience in the paper and foil

processing market.

The division is the driving force for new, future-oriented

technologies in a wide variety of sectors. These technologies

employ key Manz skills in the fields of robots, image

processing, laser technology, metallization, wet chemistry,

metrology, control and drive engineering and the pro-

cessing of rolled material.

One main area lies in the development and production

of machinery and systems for the manufacture of lithium-

ion batteries. Besides the ongoing production of new

system solutions, Manz Automation has set itself the

task of pressing ahead with manufacturing technologies

for the large-scale batch production of lithium-ion

batteries. In addition to solar technology, Manz is there-

fore one of the prime movers in this sector for the

massive electro-mobility market.
