Portfolio

We plan and manufacture flexible and scalable assembly concepts (so-called Building Systems) for a wide variety of products.

Our Building Systems combine different cycle times, product sizes, weights and work tasks through coordinated mechatronic modules and thus form the optimal basis for flexible and networked mechatronic manufacturing.

These Building Systems are derived from a consistent user centricity.

The high degree of mechatronic (mechanical, electrical, software) standardization with an ergonomic user interface is a prerequisite for worldwide and time-independent remote maintenance and software updates during operation.

The configurability results in sustainable advantages such as high flexibility towards change, reusability as well as savings in spare parts inventory.

In line with this, we offer a wide range of assembly and handling processes, such as joining, screwing and press-fitting, as well as feeding and transporting, up to complex setting and adjustment processes, which are constantly being further developed by our interdisciplinary teams of experts.

In addition to entire assembly lines (building systems), we also plan and manufacture individual process stations, so-called Single-Process-Systems.

These can be integrated into larger overall systems or into an existing production network.

We configure and offer proven individually adapted conveyor and transfer systems for almost any application.

In doing so, we rely on our modular system, which has been in use for many years and was developed by our partner Bosch Rexroth.

This enables high-precision positioning and individually adapted transfer speeds.

The self-contained modular principle ensures simple configurability and user-friendly usability.

To minimize energy consumption, the transport and transfer units can be individually controlled and switched off (stand-by).

We have broadened our perspective: In addition to usability, the attractiveness and emotional impact of a product (user experience) are increasingly coming to the fore.

Through user experience design and design thinking as a human-centered method, we developed the innovative and ergonomic machine design HMX (Human Machine Experience).

Satisfied stakeholders, for example through greater ease of operation and maintenance, lead to the safeguarding of productivity goals. HMX satisfies user needs, is technically feasible and economical.

We offer a wide range of clever assembly, handling & automation processes, such as controlled dispensing, joining, screwing, cutting, press-fitting, as well as feeding, transporting & robotics, up to complex setting and adjustment processes, which are constantly being further developed by our interdisciplinary teams of experts.

All solutions are scalable from single process systems up to full assembly lines, our building systems.

In joining processes, two or more individual parts made of metal or plastic are connected to one another using a wide variety of mechanisms. Our experts enable an innovative implementation of your requirements, from technical production advice, process development, and small series production to system technology for the highest demands of industrial-scale series production.

• Laser Welding (metals, plastic)
• Laser Soldering
• Resistance Welding
• Friction Stir Welding
• Pressing
• Screwing
• Gluing

Using a wide range of ablation technologies ranging from grinding via (electro-)chemical processes to machining with Laser beams, we produce "Microns in Millions" - the highest precision with best-in-class productivity.

Bores with smallest diameters, surface qualities for highest mechanical loads and shapes which can't be generated by conventional processes are among our special competences. At the same time we avoid unproductive sequences and handling steps by using our patented simultaneous machining technologies and integrated cleaning, conservation and drying processes.

• Grinding
• Electrochemical Machining
• Laser Drilling & Cutting
• Electrical Discharge Machining

Bosch Manufacturing Solutions develops innovative solution concepts in the field of surface micro machining for fully and partially automated production lines as well as test lines and stand-alone systems. We specialize in the following technologies:

• Chemical Structuring
• Laser Cleaning
• Laser Structuring
• Electrical Discharge Machining
• Hydroerosive Rounding
• Electrochemical Metal Machining

Our Machine Vision experts develop, build, and support machines and systems for optical inspection and process control in close cooperation with our nine locations worldwide. Our scalable, adaptive solutions have a high degree of standardization. They can therefore be used in the laboratory, in small series and single part production as well as in production lines with short cycle times.

This allows us to get the most use out of each application with the minimum investment needed. A close and trusting partnership with our customers is a matter of course for us.

The material properties essentially determine the wear behavior of components. The knowledge of the influence of hardness, strength, surface structure, and stress condition of the components is therefore fundamental in production.

With our many years of experience in manufacturing highly stressed components for internal combustion engines, Bosch Manufacturing Solutions has a broad portfolio of processes to influence material properties.

For example, special, tailor-made manufacturing processes can be used to introduce residual compressive stresses into component surfaces or to change the surface hardness locally.

We develop turnkey series machines for this purpose and have test facilities for process development, validation and sample production.

Coatings accompany us in all areas of our lives and make our everyday lives easier. Because surfaces mean protection: protection against corrosion and wear, against excessively high or low temperatures, against acids, cleaning agents and much more. This protection increases quality and durability. But coatings can do even more: with the right mix of materials, they increase the functionality and performance of products. And they also improve efficiency and aesthetics thanks to optical upgrades and a pleasant feel.

We offer you tailor-made coatings and turnkey plant technology for your application. The portfolio includes a wide variety of thick and thin film coating processes, such as PVD/CVD, (electro)chemical processes or thermal spraying.

Additive Manufacturing offers unique opportunities for the flexible production of complex, individual components from batch size 1 to series production.

Bosch Manufacturing Solutions offers comprehensive solutions across the entire process chain: from the design of components compatible with 3D printing to the development of processes and systems to printing metal or plastic components as a service.

Based on our extensive experience both from the application of additive manufacturing processes and from many years of developing equipment and systems for manufacturing at Bosch, we can offer customized solutions for industrial use of additive processes. For this purpose, we also use our broad knowledge from control technology as well as from our Industry 4.0 applications.

Under the umbrella of Process Digitalization we combine our solutions and services from the areas of Shopfloor IT Solutions, Data Analytics and Intelligent Process Control. Smart software modules for the implementation of applications in the areas of networking, monitoring, analysis and control of assembly and manufacturing processes together with a flexible and modular hardware platform form the basis for developing the right solution together with you. Customer-specific development services and applications complement and round off the portfolio.

Measuring and Testing ensure quality and are prerequisites for the precise setting of products. From product development to series production to failure tests, our task-specific measurement and testing technology solutions enable:

• Product and quality assessment
• Setting each individual product to the target values
• Closure of control loops
• Completion of I4.0 solutions and big data analyses

We offer a variety of measurement and testing processes in different technologies and systems
