Assembly Stations

Ergonomic, precision-focused work cells designed to streamline manual and semi-automated assembly with consistent quality and efficiency.

What are Assembly Stations

An assembly station is a dedicated work cell where components are manually or semi-automatically assembled in a structured and controlled environment.

These systems are typically used when a process:

  • requires operator interaction and flexibility
  • benefits from ergonomic optimization
  • involves multiple assembly steps
  • demands consistent quality and repeatability

By combining smart layouts, fixtures, and supporting tools, a stable and efficient assembly process is created where precision, workflow, and operator comfort come together.

At Fixar, we start from the operator and the assembly process, focusing on ergonomics, workflow, and product requirements. We analyse each step to define the most efficient layout, tooling, and support systems.

The process typically includes:

  • analysis of assembly steps and operator interaction
  • ergonomic and workflow optimization
  • concept development and detailed engineering
  • design of fixtures and supporting tools
  • build and integration of the station
  • testing and validation

After installation, we ensure a smooth ramp-up and provide support to maintain consistent performance and operator efficiency.

Fixar works in a pragmatic and transparent way, from initial concept to final delivery, with continuous alignment on process and operator needs. The client is actively involved to ensure the station fits seamlessly within the production environment.

The result is an assembly station that:

  • supports efficient and ergonomic workflows
  • ensures consistent quality and repeatability
  • is intuitive for operators and easy to maintain

After delivery, we provide guidance during start-up along with clear documentation and operator training.

Automated station developed for the pneumatic pressing and assembly of components into automotive bumpers, ensuring consistent force application, accurate positioning and reliable process quality throughout the production cycle.

FRequently asked questions

Yes. FiXar remains involved after delivery through start-up support, optimisation, technical assistance and maintenance advice. This ensures that the industrial automation system continues to perform reliably throughout its lifecycle.

Yes. FiXar integrates vision and measurement systems when required for process control, quality verification or positioning. These systems are connected to the automation and PLC architecture for fully automated inspection and control.

Traceability and data logging are integrated through data exchange with existing systems, such as MES platforms. This allows production data, process parameters and quality information to be automatically recorded and monitored.

Yes. We design systems with variant production in mind. Through smart programming, modular tooling or vision integration, automation stations can handle multiple product variants without complex changeovers.

Yes. Safety is integrated from the design phase in accordance with applicable standards. Depending on the application, we use safety PLCs, light curtains, physical guarding and risk assessments based on PL/SIL principles.

Yes. FiXar integrates industrial automation systems into both new installations and existing production lines. We align with existing PLC architectures and, where required, connect to MES systems for data logging, traceability and production monitoring.

FiXar primarily works with Siemens TIA Portal for PLC-based industrial automation. This platform enables the development of reliable, maintainable automation software and smooth integration into existing production environments.

FiXar delivers integrated industrial automation systems, from analysis and concept engineering to build, validation and post-delivery support. We combine mechanics, automation and software into stable systems that perform reliably in serial production environments.

FiXar primarily works with Siemens TIA Portal for PLC automation, depending on the project requirements.
