Local production as a driver to reduce CO2 emissions
In the continuous improvement process, ASS Maschinenbau GmbH constantly optimizes the use of machines and materials in order to sustainably produce the highest possible quality of gripper parts.
Focus on German location and flexible modular system
The core is the local production of the ASS components in Overath, which enables short internal production routes and fast deliveries to the customer. The mechatronic gripper components manufactured on site reach the customer directly from ASS' own production and do not have to go through third countries.
"We will continue to plan and sensibly continue the process to increase sustainability. One of our goals is to further reduce the carbon footprint, improve quality and do this at constant prices. Our customers experience added value without additional burdens."
Rolf Würstlin, Technical Director of ASS Maschinenbau GmbH

A resource-saving product design reduces the cost of materials and lowers the handling weight, which in turn reduces the customer's energy consumption that has to be used to move a robot hand.
The modular system of the ASS Robot Hand Kit (EOAT) itself offers the user an efficient and sustainable way to create robot hands, also called EOAT (End-of-Arm Tooling), specifically for the applications. The customer can fall back on proven and process-reliable mechatronic handling components from the modular system:
With its range, the ASS modular system offers handling solutions for almost all applications, from the smallest part for e-mobility to hard-to-reach, back-injected, pliable 2-component components to the removal of large and heavy bumpers. The flexible and modular structure of the modular ASS Robot Hand Kit (EOAT) eliminates the need for the customer to make their own products or special designs, which saves costs and capacities.
The ASS robot hand kit is also available as an online catalogue:
