HORST_Copilot
Robert Meißner
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

Frank Reinauer
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

Marius Effinger
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

Lorenz Geyer
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

Fabian Pfister
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

Thomas Sehling
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

Stefan Schirling
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

Matthias Schneider
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

Dominik Pfeiffer
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

Peter Imm
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

Beat Glauser
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

Automation of existing machines

CAPITO automates the production of feet for wheelbarrows.

At CAPITO, a HORST1500 G2 from fruitcore robotics takes over the handling between tube separation, bending machine, press, shears and storage in mesh boxes. The solution was implemented together with production manager Oliver Staaden and Dreisbach & Jungmann - in a practical way in existing buildings and without replacing existing machines.

videoframe_18096

| Result: Relief for employees

One robot. Several stations. Noticeable relief.

At CAPITO, the HORST1500 G2 takes over parts handling between tube separation, bending machine, press, shears and storage. This relieves employees of a highly repetitive task, allows existing machines to continue to be used and makes the production process more efficient.
