Automated singulation of bulk goods

HORST takes care of sorting.
Greater efficiency for your production.

Optimize your processes with HORST and increase your efficiency in the separation of parts and bulk material

In this section, we present the specific advantages of industrial robots such as HORST for tasks in the area of separation - for example, when sorting and separating small parts or when preparing and feeding material for machines.

With our robots, you can achieve an extremely high repeat accuracy of ±0.05 mm and precisely separate your components. Find out how you can advance your company with intelligent automation applications.

Bring order to the sorting of your parts thanks to seamless robot integration

HORST robots can be integrated into all peripheral devices: If HORST acts with a camera, for example, it receives a sense of sight and recognizes the position of components precisely. Thanks to the enormously flexible kinematics over 6 axes, it effortlessly reaches different gripping positions.

Increase your productivity and avoid production errors

Thanks to the extremely high repeat accuracy of ±0.05 mm, you can sort parts precisely into the correct position in your workpiece carrier. Prepare your raw material optimally for all subsequent processes with our Solution Kit Part Separation automation solution.

Achieve greater efficiency with automated separation

Stop wasting time with inefficient and manual processes in your production. The intelligent HORST industrial robot enables faster and continuous feeding of bulk material without the need for constant manual intervention by employees.

Achieve the best ROI for the automation of separation applications

By making more efficient use of your resources and reducing manual tasks, using a HORST actively lowers your ongoing operating costs, ensuring a quick return on investment - often after just 6 months.

Avoid bottlenecks and downtimes in your production

Thanks to its open interfaces and simple reprogramming, you can quickly adapt your intelligent robot to changing tasks and production scenarios in machine loading.

Adapt flexibly and quickly to changing tasks with HORST

We know how important it is to be able to adapt immediately to surprising market changes. This is precisely why our intelligent industrial robots are designed to meet a wide range of requirements.

Fast and efficient sorting: Revolutionize your parts separation with HORST

Watch the video to see how our Solution Kit Part Separation, a complete solution for your application, sorts bulk material at lightning speed. The combination of HORST with our flexible robot platform and components assembled according to your requirements enables quick and easy project planning and processing. Processes can be mapped with the Part Separation Solution Kit without an additional PLC.

We use the test cell for technological feasibility analyses and innovations in product development and are thrilled. The Solution Kit can be put into operation, programmed and operated quickly and easily without any special prior knowledge.

Robert Meißner / Senior Expert Manufacturing Technologies, Research & Development at fischer group

With HORST, we are very well positioned in our test lab. The compact footprint is very convenient and the usability of the robot is a great advantage, especially for the complex test setups.

Frank Reinauer / Senior Director Division Implants at Karl Leibinger Medizintechnik GmbH & Co. KG

We are more than satisfied with HORST as well as with the service and support from fruitcore robotics. The team is extremely competent, friendly and very helpful. The optimal solution for us!

Marius Effinger / Project Coordinator at ROTH&EFFINGER GmbH

The high quality demands placed on our products require first-class quality assurance. By using the HORST industrial robot, we have not only created the best testing conditions, but also significantly increased product quality. The robot has relieved our employees of monotonous tasks as well as led to an increase in productivity and a high level of satisfaction among our customers.

Lorenz Geyer / Managing Director Eugen Geyer GmbH

With HORST, we have achieved a very large increase in efficiency. We now produce twice as many parts and have thus been able to significantly increase our sales. The robot had already paid for itself after the first series.

Fabian Pfister / Co-Founder and Managing Director at CyFa-Tech.ch Manufacturing Solutions GmbH

HORST takes over typical pick & place tasks for us during a hydraulic test and enables a fully automated testing process. As a result, we achieve a significantly higher output and increase our productivity. We were also convinced by the easy operation of the industrial robot, the good price and the comprehensive support from fruitcore.

Thomas Sehling / Operational Excellence Manager at WEBER-HYDRAULIK GmbH

The implementation of this automation task worked quickly. Just like the cooperation with fruitcore robotics has always worked great.

Stefan Schirling / Junior Owner at Schirling Frästechnik GmbH

HORST is inexpensive to purchase, requires little space, can be used flexibly and is easy to handle thanks to intuitive operation with the horstFX robot software.

Matthias Schneider / Plant Manager at Koepfer Zahnrad- und Getriebetechnik GmbH

Above all, the flexible applicability of HORST convinced us. In addition, the price-performance ratio fits and we simply have a team at our disposal that flexibly implements the individual task with us.

Dominik Pfeiffer / General Manager at add'n solutions GmbH & Co. KG

The great advantage of HORST and the control system is that it can be used completely flexibly in an SME. I don't need highly trained technical personnel who are specialized in the application with or programming of robots, but can also train the normal machine operator on HORST.

Peter Imm / Owner and General Manager at imm Cleaning Solutions GmbH

We were able to initialize HORST within a very short time and thus get started directly with program applications. The operating panel is very pleasant to use.

Siegmar von Detten / Computer science teacher at Zeppelin Gewerbeschule Konstanz

The automation of laser marking with HORST enables us to mark many thousands of perforated lids per year with a unique code. The automation helps us to increase quality while staying flexible for different customer needs.The system is exactly what we needed.
