Assembly & Handling Technology

In modern industry, assembly and handling systems are essential for efficient, flexible and automated production processes. Whether in assembly lines, pick-and-place systems or transfer systems, the couplings, brakes and torque limiters from Miki Pulley ensure precise power transmission, high process reliability and maximum system availability.

Highest Requirements in Assembly & Handling Technology

Assembly and handling systems move, position and connect components with high speed and accuracy. Short cycle times must be combined with the highest precision requirements. At the same time, the systems must be flexible enough to handle different products and batch sizes.

Drive technology plays a decisive role here: it must be dynamic, reliable and compact while also providing high repeatability and minimal maintenance requirements.

The shaft couplings, electromagnetic brakes, spring-actuated safety brakes, and torque limiters from Miki Pulley are specifically developed for these requirements and ensure stable, safe and efficient processes.
