Only 15% of the usual project effort

Keep the lead time and costs for starting your automation project to an absolute minimum. Thanks to predefined programs and prepared interfaces for all common machine tools via Harting connectors. You also benefit from the low energy consumption of the overall solution.

Full flexibility, simple job changeover

This Robotic Solution uses our tried-and-tested mobile robot platform with repeatable fasteners and a base plate with a 100x100mm grid of M8 threaded holes. This allows you to easily switch between different applications.

Simple and centralized operation

The Robotic Solution is programmed and controlled centrally via the horstOS control software. You do not need an external control system (PLC).

Short machine idle times for higher outout

Save costs and increase the efficiency of your production. With this automation module, you can achieve optimal utilization of your machines. The machine idle time between the end of machining and the start of the next machining operation is only about 12 seconds, including blowing off the finished part and the collet.

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

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

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

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.

Beat Glauser / CTO MBV AG

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.
