Angular momentum for automation

It is not the fast flow, but the fast change between movement and standstill that characterises our production. The heart of production lines encompassing linear and rotary operations, are index drives generating the desired indexing time from constant motor rotation. This technique is not entirely new, because the basic principle is already depicted on sketches of drive system worked out by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century.

However, the principle of index drives is still highly topical 500 years later. 50 years ago, with the construction of principle of rotary index tables, Hans Jäger created the basis for the former EXPERT Maschinenbau GmbH, founded on 23 May 1961 together with his partners Karl Raab and Max Sievers in Lorsch (Bergstraße).

Through contacts with the automotive industry the young company soon grew into a globally operating group, focussing on the area of weld technology, conveying technology and the production of complex industrial facilities. Even though the company no longer exists in this form, EXPERT-TÜNKERS GmbH, carries on the original key programme of turntables and index drives and continuously develops it by means of innovative solutions in a permanent dialogue with our customers.

The new high-performance EDX and EDH series demonstrate this. Solutions for highly dynamic movement and transporting systems are our world, in which we have gained a special degree of competence over a period of 50 years and which allows us to create momentum for your automation solutions.
