Switch cabinet construction for special machine construction

Control cabinet construction is a central component of special machine construction and essential for the reliable control and function of your customised machines. Abraham Automation offers comprehensive control cabinet construction services that are specially tailored to the requirements of special machine construction. With many years of experience and a highly qualified team, we rely on state-of-the-art technologies to develop control solutions that guarantee maximum efficiency and safety.

What we do in switch cabinet construction

Our expertise in control cabinet construction includes the complete planning, design, production and commissioning of control solutions. We attach particular importance to: 1.

Customised planning:
Every project begins with a detailed analysis of the requirements of your customised machine. Together with you, we define the specific requirements for the control cabinet, such as size, space requirements, functionality and interfaces.
Precise construction:
We use the latest CAD software (e.g. EPLAN P8) to develop detailed circuit diagrams and layouts. We take into account all relevant norms and standards to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.
Component procurement:
We only use high-quality, tried-and-tested components from well-known manufacturers. Our selection is based on the specific requirements of your application to ensure durability and reliability.
Manufacturing:
We manufacture switch cabinets with the highest precision in our own workshop. Our experienced technicians ensure that every component is exactly in place and that the wiring is clean and efficient.
Tests and quality assurance:
Before delivery, we subject every control cabinet to extensive testing. This includes functional tests, safety function checks and load tests to ensure that the enclosure functions perfectly and is ready for use.
Commissioning and integration:
After delivery, we integrate the control cabinet seamlessly into your customised machine. Our experts accompany the commissioning on site to ensure a smooth start and make any final adjustments.
Documentation:
For each control cabinet, we provide comprehensive documentation containing all relevant information, including circuit diagrams, technical data sheets and operating instructions.
Maintenance and support:
We are also at your side after commissioning. We offer regular maintenance, rapid troubleshooting and support in optimising your system.

Advantages of our control cabinets for special machine construction

Flexibility: Enclosures that are customised precisely to your requirements.
Reliability: Durable, high-quality components for maximum uptime.
Efficiency: Optimised wiring and integration for simple maintenance and fast commissioning.
Security: Compliance with all relevant safety standards and norms.

Easy automation and expansion

Easy automation describes a philosophy or approach in automation technology that aims to make complex processes and systems as user-friendly, efficient and cost-effective as possible. The aim is to create automation solutions that are easy to implement, operate and maintain. This method is particularly suitable for companies that want to benefit from automation but are also looking for an affordable and uncomplicated solution.

Examples of easy automation with cobots (collaborative robots)
Cobots (collaborative robots) are specially designed to work in direct co-operation with humans. They are easy to programme, can be used flexibly and offer numerous possibilities for automating processes without the need for large investments in safety devices or complex control systems. Here are some typical application examples for easy automation with cobots:

Pick-and-place tasks

Example: Packaging of products in cartons.
Cobots can pick up components, workpieces or products from one location and place them precisely in a defined location.
- Advantages:
  - Quick and easy to set up.
  - Flexible adaptation to changing product formats.

Machine loading and unloading

Example: Loading CNC machines or injection moulding systems.
The cobot loads raw material into the machine and removes the processed workpiece.
- Advantages:
  - Reduction of set-up times.
  - Relieving employees of repetitive tasks.

Quality testing and inspection

Example: Optical inspection of components using integrated camera systems.
Equipped with image processing systems, cobots can inspect products for defects, dimensions or surface quality.
- Advantages:
  - Greater accuracy and consistency during inspection.
  - Automatic documentation of the results.

Assembly and screwing work

Example: Assembly of small parts or screwing of components.
Cobots can be equipped with screwdriving tools to produce precise and consistent screw connections.
- Advantages:
  - Repeatability.
  - Easy adaptation to different workpieces.

Palletising and depalletising

Example: Stacking boxes on pallets.
The cobot organises products in layers on pallets or removes them for further processing.
- Advantages:
  - Reduction of physical strain on employees.
  - High flexibility with different palletising schemes

Gluing and dosing

Example: Application of adhesives or sealants to components.
Cobots guide the nozzle precisely over the component and ensure even application.
- Advantages:
  - Consistent quality of the order.
  - Reduction of material waste.

Packaging and labelling

Example: Applying labels to products or packaging.
Cobots can apply labels precisely to surfaces or prepare products for dispatch.
- Advantages:
  - Fast integration into existing packaging lines.
  - High flexibility with changing product series.

Welding and soldering

Example: Spot welding or soldering of small assemblies.
Equipped with the appropriate tools, cobots can perform weld seams or solder joints with high precision.
- Advantages:
  - Repeatability.
  - Safe working even in confined spaces.

Assistance in logistics

Example: Transporting containers or goods in the production hall.
In combination with automated guided vehicles (AGVs), cobots can move goods efficiently from one point to another.
- Advantages:
  - Relief for employees.
  - Integration into existing logistics processes.

Test and inspection procedures

Example: Carrying out functional or load tests.
The cobot interacts with the test equipment to test products under defined conditions.
- Advantages:
  - Reproducible test results.
  - Automation of recurring inspection processes.

Advantages of Easy-Automation

Low barrier to entry: Automation is also accessible to small and medium-sized companies.
Increased productivity: Faster and more efficient production processes without high costs.
Time savings: Reduced project duration and simple operation speed up implementation and utilisation.
Future-proof: Flexible adaptation to growing requirements or new technologies.
