Special soldering Laser processing Assembly automation

Wolf Produktionssysteme was founded in 1988 by Managing director Dr.-Ing. Ernst Wolf. His aim: To implement the expertise and ideas he had acquired at the Fraunhofer Institute of Production and Process Automation in the practice. Today, Wolf Produktionssysteme manufactures special-purpose machines with a workforce of over 80. Its customers typically work in the fields of Electrical engineering and Medical technology or are Suppliers to the automotive industry The machine range focuses on three main areas: Special soldering technology Laser processing and Automatic assembly. Wolf assembly lines...

Process orientation Wolf Produktionssysteme not only builds machines but sees itself as a process specialist. The aim: Fast, trouble-free execution of complex processes in concrete plants and machines. The Wolf Technology Centre supports customers throughout every phase of process development. Standardization The prior aim is to produce plants and machines to the highest achievable standard of quality. To achieve this aim, the machine range has undergone a fundamental and consistent program of standardization based on modular technology. The result: Wolf’s own automation platform “Skyline”. Today,...

Good ideas are borne of free minds Success in the special-purpose machine construction sector particularly depends heavily on having just the right team in place. Mechanics at the final assembly stage, mecatronics experts during commissioning, programmers, designers and process specialists – constructive cooperation and enthusiasm are essential to a successful outcome. As a logical consequence, we are concerned to encourage our staff to act independently and adopt an entrepreneurial approach. We know that creative minds are the minds of individualists. Encouraging creativity is fundamental to...

Standardized machine technology The “SkyLine“ automation system HAP 100 Manual inline workstation, 1000 mm wide AM 100 Automatic inline module, 1000 mm wide AM 75 (Baby cell) Automatic inline module, 750 mm wide Faster past the finishing post using standardized production modules. The requirements imposed on automatic assembly plants can be summarized by: Process reliability Economy Flexibility and High-speed delivery capability Traditional special-purpose machine construction is only partially able to meet all these needs. This is why we took the decision to develop our own automation platform,...

The Machine Series »BoxLine« LCIA U-line with 3 production modules BLM 75 With BoxLine we enable „Low Cost Intelligent Automation“ (LCIA) Due to our low cost machines, automatic processes and manual handling activities can be combined. The compact, slimline machines are equally suitable for single workstations and assembly islands, known as U-lines. BoxLine machines are designed for worldwide use, especially in low-wage countries. The supplied transport-box, suitable for air-, land- and seafreight, enables fast packing and shipping of the machine. The machine travels instead of expensive service...

Special soldering processes The right soldering method is what counts Choosing the optimum soldering method is vital. This is why we have accumulated an extensive pool of expertise in the main methods used for special soldering assignments. Not just theoretically, but in practice too. Soldering tests can be run in the Wolf Technology Centre using suitable demonstration and testing machines. Laser soldering Controlled thermal output No-contact Suitable for ultra-fine soldering Minimal mainentance work Laser soldering Iron soldering Laser soldering Laser soldering Induction soldering Induction...

Laser processing Laser welding of plastics enables new product design Involving small melt zones and minimal input of energy, seal-tight connections are produced with a high degree of weld strength. With these benefits, laser welding can replace familiar joining techniques such as screwing, clipping, gluing and or conventional welding methods. Polymer welding generally involves overlapping the two parts and creating a lap joint by laser beam transmission. Butt joint welding is also possible. Laser marking and quasi simulataious welding Quasi simulataious welding Contour welding Contour welding...
