Improve your product quality and reduce your scrap

With HORST, you achieve high accuracy when picking up and placing workpieces in your machines, which improves your product quality and reduces scrap.

 

Get your projects started faster with software support 

With our intuitive horstFX software, you learn the position of components or palletizing grids of any size very quickly. This makes your work processes in machine loading easier and faster.

 

Reduce the risk of work accidents in hazardous environments

Deploy industrial robot HORST and you'll keep your workers away from dangerous or unhealthy tasks. HORST is IP-54 certified and won't interfere with handling sharp, pointed or oily objects. 

 

HORST has a return on investment of only 6 months

Because you use your resources more efficiently and rely less on manual labor, using a HORST actively lowers your ongoing operating costs, ensuring a rapid return on automation within six months.

 

Respond flexibly to changes in your applications at short notice

Quickly adapt your robot to changing tasks and production scenarios in machine loading thanks to its open interfaces and simple reprogramming.

 

Minimize your maintenance costs and avoid downtime

Our robots are enormously robust and particularly low-maintenance thanks to their unique design. This keeps production through your machines maximally available and avoids unexpected costs for repairs.

Case study: Automated loading of a milling machine at an SME in the metalworking industry

Costly, time-consuming and monotonous work? With HORST1400, this has finally come to an end!

Cyfa-Tech, the Swiss manufacturer of complex milled parts, has achieved an enormous increase in efficiency with our largest digital robot HORST1400: while the robot unmannedly loads a CNC machine, the employees can now devote themselves to other tasks. HORST1400 has already paid for itself after 3 months. This will not be the last project with a HORST for the up-and-coming specialist in the hydraulics industry!

 

The automated loading and unloading of the machines relieves employees of monotonous tasks and creates capacities for other activities.

 

By using HORST1400, CyFa-Tech was able to significantly increase production efficiency; after just one series, the automation has already paid off.

 

The implementation of industrial robot HORST enables reliable 24/7 operation at Cyfa-Tech. Even ghost shifts are now possible thanks to HORST1400.

 

The company was able to perform the mechanical and electrical installation itself. The employees are pleased with the "very intuitive operation of HORST".

Successful with HORST: Let our customers convince you

We are more than satisfied with HORST as well as with the service and support from fruitcore robotics. The team is extremely competent, friendly and very helpful. The optimal solution for us!

Marius Effinger / Project Coordinator at ROTH&EFFINGER GmbH

With HORST, we have achieved a very large increase in efficiency. We now produce twice as many parts and have thus been able to significantly increase our sales. The robot had already paid for itself after the first series.

Fabian Pfister / Co-Founder and Managing Director at CyFa-Tech.ch Manufacturing Solutions GmbH

The implementation of this automation task worked quickly. Just like the cooperation with fruitcore robotics has always worked great.

Stefan Schirling / Junior Owner at Schirling Frästechnik GmbH

The automation of laser marking with HORST enables us to mark many thousands of perforated lids per year with a unique code. The automation helps us to increase quality while staying flexible for different customer needs.The system is exactly what we needed.

Beat Glauser / CTO MBV AG

HORST is inexpensive to purchase, requires little space, can be used flexibly and is easy to handle thanks to intuitive operation with the horstFX robot software.

Matthias Schneider / Plant Manager at Koepfer Zahnrad- und Getriebetechnik GmbH

Above all, the flexible applicability of HORST convinced us. In addition, the price-performance ratio fits and we simply have a team at our disposal that flexibly implements the individual task with us.

Dominik Pfeiffer / General Manager at add'n solutions GmbH & Co. KG

The great advantage of HORST and the control system is that it can be used completely flexibly in an SME. I don't need highly trained technical personnel who are specialized in the application with or programming of robots, but can also train the normal machine operator on HORST.
