With the assembly test systems from AKE, the manufacture and testing of hinges is possible in shortest cycle times. The system technology includes production systems for a wide variety of hinge types from numerous areas of application.
The product portfolio ranges from production systems for tailgate or front lid hinges for a wide variety of vehicle types to door hinges and kinematic systems for various industrial sectors such as automotive, white goods or the furniture industry.
The assembly lines of AKE technologies are designed for the production of different hinge types on one system. Depending on the type of system, the hinge bodies are inserted with the help of a worker or automatically. Small parts are provided via conveyor systems with an autonomy up to 4 hours.
