About us
MiniTec - Simple solutions for complex systems
MiniTec has been synonymous with innovation and precision in automation technology since 1986. As a growing technology company with a global network of experts and partners, we specialise in developing customised solutions that increase productivity and efficiency in a wide range of industries.
Innovative profile - The Art of Simplicity
Our philosophy "The Art of Simplicity" is reflected in every aspect of our work. From our modular system to our linear technology, everything is designed to offer maximum reliability with optimum cost-effectiveness. We achieve this through strict modularity and the avoidance of unnecessary product diversity. Our complementary CAD software supports the development of sophisticated solutions for every task.
Cooperation with ISW - The AOP-Tester
In close co-operation with ISW GmbH, we have developed the "Automatic Optical Product Tester" (AOP-Tester). This state-of-the-art system revolutionises non-contact measurement in industries where precision and freedom from contamination are crucial, such as pharmaceuticals, medical and food technology. With the AOP tester, up to 12 parameters of a workpiece can be measured simultaneously and in the smallest of spaces. The integration of a precise small robot enables efficient feeding of the parts to various measuring stations, while the evaluation software decides on the further use or sorting of the parts.
Future-proof technology - areas of application and benefits
This innovative solution increases the throughput of measurements by a factor of sixty and can operate continuously 24/7. The results are not only precise, but also sustainable, as "IO" tested parts can be reused - a major advance over conventional methods.
The AOP tester is a prime example of MiniTec's expertise in developing automation solutions tailored to the specific requirements of our customers. It epitomises our ability to translate complex challenges into simple, efficient and innovative solutions.
Visit us at "All About Automation 2024" in Hamburg and experience the AOP tester in action - a future technology that sets new standards in precision and efficiency.
Products & services
MiniTec SmartAssist: Assistance system rethought
MiniTec SmartAssist: Assistance system rethought Particularly with variant-rich production, companies are increasingly faced with the task of how to quickly train their employees in the respective assembly activities and support them during their work. This is where digital worker assistance systems can provide valuable help. Due to the great demand from customers, we have developed our own solution for this: MiniTec SmartAssist. In line with the MiniTec motto "The Art of Simplicity", the focus was on making handling and operation as simple as possible. We benefited from our many years of experience in workplace design, but also from the expertise of MiniTec Smart Solutions in the field of Industry 4.0.
Cooperation with ISW - The AOP-Tester
Measure precisely MiniTec is presenting an automated optical measuring device with partner ISW at the all about automation trade fair in Hamburg Together with ISW (Industrielle Sensorensysteme Wichmann GmbH), MiniTec is presenting an interesting example of a very precise automation solution for optical measurement at the all about automation trade fair in Hamburg. In addition, MiniTec also provides general information about its options and solutions in the area of automation. The AOP tester, which ISW GmbH developed and implemented in cooperation with MiniTec, will be presented. The system is fully automated, measures and evaluates twelve product parameters within a minute without contact. OK products are returned to production, NOK products are discarded and rejected. Of course, the technology can also be adapted to other needs. Non-contact measurement In addition to high precision, some measuring tasks also require non-contact measuring (pharmaceutical sector, medical, food technology), for example if contamination would occur due to human hands. If many parameters have to be measured at the same time in a short time and in a very small space, then the task is very challenging. ISW has successfully solved this with the development of the AOP Tester (Automatic Optical Product). The version presented in Hamburg can measure up to twelve parameters on a workpiece, sometimes simultaneously. By using a highly precise small robot that picks up the parts and feeds them to the various integrated measuring stations, this is possible in a very small footprint. Behind the solution are self-developed evaluation and control algorithms that can be adapted to individual circumstances. The solution presented at the trade fair can increase the throughput of measurements by a factor of 60 and is able to work around the clock.
Aluminium profiles from MiniTec
The right aluminium profile for every application Mechanical engineering profiles and profile technology are the basis and fundamental part of all kinds of different application areas in industry, mechanical engineering, plant construction and automation technology. We stock our aluminium profiles in different sizes and geometries that can be combined and are compatible with each other in any way required, so that you are optimally equipped for your application now and in the future. These are used in ergonomic workplace systems, dynamic linear axes and highly complex assembly lines.
