Welding, testing, handling in perfection by Gebr. Binder GmbH
Yaskawa robot cell convinces in high-volume production
Everything had to go quickly at Swabian Gebr. Binder GmbH Metallwarenfabrik. A large-scale order for the manufacture of about half a million sheet metal parts per year called for an extra-class production solution. Together with Yaskawa Europe, the company set out to create a production cell that would establish standards in terms of output, precision and availability.

The Swabian automotive supplier Binder enjoys an excellent reputation in the industry. The family-owned company based in Neenstetten is considered reliable, customer-oriented and innovative, and supplies OEMs all over the world. With its approximately 800 employees, it is dedicated to forming technology and sheet metal processing. The fact that the fast expanding company was approached by a major German car manufacturer with an order for the series production of a sheet metal construction to accommodate the on-board batteries of certain vehicle series, speaks for the company’s reputation and performance.
Thomas Pflüger, mechanical engineer and Head of the Binder Production Joining and Welding Technology department: “Handling an order of this magnitude – the maximum production capacity is around half a million battery frames per year – would clearly not be possible without the investment in a completely new, highly automated system that integrates the necessary processes of spot welding, testing, signing and handling.”
