Thermoformed heavy plastic workpiece carriers for automated production lines — precise positioning of your components during manufacturing, assembly and transport. Precision cavities, stackable and reusable.

Heavy plastic workpiece carriers for automated production lines
Automation-Ready Made in Germany

When Every Component Must Sit Precisely

Plastic workpiece carriers are the foundation of efficient, automated production lines. They fix components in precision cavities — tilt-proof, positionally accurate and reproducible. Whether in manufacturing, during assembly or in internal transport: every component sits exactly where it belongs.

Unlike universal receptacles, each workpiece carrier is individually designed to match your component geometry. The result: form-fitting reception without play, optimal accessibility for grippers and robots, and consistent quality across thousands of cycles. For automated pick & place systems, precision workpiece carriers are a fundamental prerequisite.

We manufacture workpiece carriers from PS, ABS, PE and PET — depending on requirements for rigidity, chemical resistance, temperature loading or ESD protection. Lightweight PS carriers for manual handling, robust ABS carriers for continuous use on assembly lines. All materials are recyclable.

Thanks to our in-house toolmaking in Sundern, we realise your workpiece carriers in the shortest possible time — from 3D data analysis to series-ready tray. Changes to the cavity layout are implemented directly on the tool, without external suppliers.

Precision Cavities

Each cavity is precisely matched to your component geometry — form-fitting reception without play for reproducible results.

Automation-Ready

Optimised for robotic grippers and pick & place systems — defined gripping positions and reference points for automated processes.

Stackable & Reusable

Integrated stacking geometry — space-saving stacking when empty, thousands of cycles in multi-use operation.
