Since Henry Ford used flow production in the automotive industry more and more industrial goods are produced with this technology. Also within the machine tool industry this production technology has a long tradition. Caused by the surrounding conditions and high weight of the parts, different solutions have to be evaluated.

• Long assembly time per unit, low quantity production
figures, high variety in modules, weights of 25 tons per
machine and more, forcing new solutions to the
complicated assembly process in comparison, for example
the automotive industry.

• Especially designed platforms for easy access to the
machine, no trip hazards and free access for logistics and
material handling.

• Pulse or flow production is only a question of the assembly
philosophy of the specific company. Strothmann will
provide you with the suitable drive technology.
