Hybrid and 3D-printed machine components Functional components for modern manufacturing processes

ROBOWORKER develops and manufactures innovative machine components and accessories for machines and gripper systems. By combining advanced 3D printing technologies with conventional manufacturing processes and additional materials, we create high-performance hybrid components.

The design freedom of additive manufacturing enables the development of optimized components with enhanced functionality, improved performance, and cost-efficient production – especially for demanding manufacturing processes.

Our offerings include:

Durable end-use parts manufactured with SLS 3D printing

For the additive manufacturing of our machine components, we use the SLS process with robust thermoplastics. The resulting parts offer high strength, excellent mechanical properties, and outstanding durability.

By combining additive manufacturing, hybrid solutions, and optimized design, we create cost-effective components with enhanced functionality, short development cycles, and ready-to-use delivery.

Enhance machine performance and optimize processes Innovative machine components and accessories for advanced production

Our expertise is your advantage! We combine extensive knowledge in plant engineering with the latest 3D printing technologies. This results in innovative machine components and manufacturing accessories with enhanced functionality that improve your machine performance. Discover the benefits at a glance:

Surface finishing

We offer various finishing processes to enhance the thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties of components. These include chemical smoothing, vibratory grinding, coloring, oil-resistant coatings, and more.

Resource efficiency

Additive manufacturing enables particularly resource-efficient production. We use biocompatible powder and return used powder to the material cycle wherever possible. This conserves resources and reduces environmental impact.

Engineering expertise

Our experienced team develops innovative solutions for complex challenges. By combining our expertise in plant engineering with advanced 3D printing technologies, we create solutions that make processes more efficient.

Customized adjustments

We implement tailor-made solutions using 3D printing – quickly and flexibly. Design modifications can be applied directly to digital datasets, enabling cost-effective production of even complex geometries from a batch size of one.

Powder hoppers 4.5 L for low-volume production

New to our product range: the ultra-lightweight and cost-effective 4.5 L powder hopper. Specially finished for excellent powder flow, it offers:

  • High stability
  • Fast, residue-free cleaning
  • Seamless, chemically smoothed interior surfaces
  • High chemical resistance – ideal for ultrasonic cleaning
  • A ball valve for easy discharge of residual quantities

As an option, it can also be equipped with mounting brackets for installation on the press, as well as a matching lid that hooks onto the side for convenient access during filling.

Standard or customized - The choice is yours

In addition, we also offer standard stainless steel powder hoppers in capacities of 12 L and 25 L.

For specific requirements, we develop and manufacture customized powder hoppers tailored to your application. Depending on your needs, they are available in stainless steel or as 3D-printed solutions.

Benefit from our engineering expertise and customized designs for even the most demanding filling applications.

Membrane finger inserts Balloons are a thing of the past

Test our 3D-printed membrane finger inserts with blow-off function for hole gripping now. Available individually or as a set with 18 inserts.

Features
  • Gripping range from 2-29 mm covered with only 12 sizes (when using balloons, a significantly larger range of sizes needs to be stocked)
  • Simple pressure regulation (with balloons, pressure must be adapted to the specific balloon type and size)
Advantages
  • Optimized design for precise and gentle gripping of green parts
  • Material with balanced mechanical properties and excellent surface resolution
  • High durability thanks to long-term stability of mechanical properties
  • High dimensional stability and resistance to dust
  • Heat and chemical resistance
  • Quick and easy assembly

In addition, our membrane finger inserts are available as external grippers, for example for grooving inserts. Our team will be happy to advise you on suitable inserts and accessories such as quick-change adapters.
