Smart Tools

Efficient individual solutions for micro assembly processes.

Semi-automatic solutions for fixture construction.

OurPlant Smart Tools are used in the run-up to full automation and in the environment of prototypes, pre-series and small series as well as in fixture construction for special processes such as testing and programming. They address the need for semi-automatic, partially automatic or intelligent solutions and therefore play a central role in fixture construction.This is because OurPlant Smart Tools combine the know-how from mechanical design, electronic design and software development in efficient individual solutions for micro-assembly processes.

The modules are designed so that they can be used without in-depth technical knowledge, making them ideal for process specialists and microtechnologists. They are also compatible with existing OurPlant machine platforms and can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines.

Standardization - the key to your process reliability.

Smart tools offer you a wide range of benefits for testing and validating your processes more efficiently. One outstanding advantage is that you can freely assemble individual devices, appliances or equipment.
This means that all components – from the control unit to the portal to the interfaces and modules – are perfectly matched to each other, while the standardization of the systems is another plus point. With a large portfolio of modules, you can easily carry out different test scenarios. This significantly reduces the effort involved, as there is no need to combine individual solutions from different manufacturers, which often leads to complex challenges in the software and mechatronic connection.

By using smart tools, you as a user benefit from seamless integration and a smooth workflow, which ultimately leads to greater efficiency in the preliminary assessment and validation of your process steps. The flexibility offered by these tools enables you to react quickly to changing requirements and to design various test scenarios in the best possible way.

Technically coordinated for maximum efficiency and flexibility

OurPlant Smart Tools consist of the following three core units:

1. frame: This stable and vibration-damped platform forms the basis for all other components. It ensures that the process units and devices can be positioned safely and precisely.

2. OS Base control unit: As the central component of the OurPlant Smart Tools, the control unit enables intuitive operation and comprehensive control of the entire set-up. It ensures that all processes run smoothly and the desired results are achieved.

3. XT cross gantry: This unit consists of a high-precision movement system as well as processing heads and devices from the existing XT machine system, which can be freely positioned on the frame. This achieves a high degree of flexibility in the application and various machining processes can be implemented efficiently. Link: Profile of core units
