Mechanical Engineering, Special Machine Construction Broadly Positioned: Standard & Custom Solutions

Listening and understanding, thinking along and ahead, inspiring and individualizing — this embodies the DNA of the Eckelmann Group and our company culture.

Every year, thousands of machines run with a heart from Eckelmann. This heart of software, control, and drive technology significantly contributes to our customers often being industry leaders.

A special focus of the Eckelmann Group lies both in series and special machine construction: for example, in precision and manufacturing machines. The history of mechanical engineering is marked by new technologies and innovative materials.

Where the standard is not enough, Eckelmann is a reliable partner for tailored solutions in industrial automation and digitalization.

Your Partner in Series Machine Construction

In series machine construction, the Eckelmann Group relies on its extensive product portfolio for complete machine equipment: from CNC, motion, and PLC control to drive technology and industrial PCs.

To optimally utilize space, Eckelmann offers custom solutions:

  • Function integration
  • Design
  • Product adaptations

Your Partner in Special Machine Construction

In special machine construction, tailored machines and systems are developed.

In contrast to standard machine construction, which focuses on high-volume production, special machine construction aims to create unique solutions for specific, often complex requirements – with Eckelmann as a partner for hardware and software from a single source.

In special machine construction, the demands on machine and plant builders and Eckelmann as an automation partner are particularly high. Often, the prototype of a special machine is simultaneously the first and only model produced and delivered.

  • To operate special machine construction successfully from a technical and economic perspective, everything must be right from the start. Late corrections to the concept or technology are expensive and time-consuming!
  • With Eckelmann FactoryWare® Virtual Replica, complex machine models can be animated based on 3D data. A digital mechatronic behavior model creates the basis for virtual commissioning without the real machine being available. Result: increasingly complex machines are brought to production readiness in ever shorter times.

FactoryWare Virtual Replica accompanies users and machines throughout their entire lifecycle:

  • Virtual commissioning
  • Setup of products and tools
  • Cycle time calculation
  • Collision detection
  • Error analysis
  • PLC/CNC program simulations

KG Joint Development for BRECO: Energy-Efficient Endurance Test Stand for Timing Belt Drives Learn More BRECO Antriebstechnik Breher GmbH & Co. KG Joint Development for BRECO: Energy-Efficient Endurance Test Stand for Timing Belt Drives In the development of an endurance test stand for timing belt drives, BRECO and colleagues from Eckelmann FCS brought in their expertise. The result: The influence of operating loads is generated by a motor operated as a generator. The resulting energy is then used to accelerate the driven motor. As a result, energy-intensive control cabinet cooling can be omitted. Learn More
