Activity of the company: Manufacturing and design of plastic mould components. Fully automatized injection moulding machines.
ARIES-IPSA offers a global solution to its clients: from the conception and development of the parts, to series manufacture.
We have a wide range of plastic injection machines that allow us to manufacture technical parts for different industry branches, as automotive, pharmaceutical, railways, air conditioning and different industry parts.
All types of termoplastic materials.
We have an assembly area where we use other techniques as pad-printing, silk-screen printing and painting.

Subcontracting activity:
• 20 horizontal or vertical injection machines between 30 and 1.000 TM.
• Assembling of sub-assemblies and mechanical sets with plastic parts, in automatic and manual lines.
• Mould and die design. Stable pool of mould manufacturers in Spain and Portugal.
• Assembly tools design and construction.
• IML techonology.
• Clean Room.

Since 1960, SCHWEIZER Kunststofftechnik has impressed with the highest quality standards and services.
With state-of-the-art machines and a team of experienced specialists, we specialize in technical and optical plastic injection molding and process all common thermoplastics and thermoplastic elastomers with and without fillers.

We understand that every project presents its own challenges and are proud to be able to respond flexibly to our clients' needs.
Regardless of whether it is small quantities or extensive production runs — our goal is to fully meet your expectations.
From project planning to series production, we can provide you with comprehensive support; environmental protection and sustainability are a matter of course for us.

GPP (Global Precision Printing) provides FDM 3D printing with CFF technology.

“Composite Base”
• Onyx is a micro carbon fiber filled nylon. It’s 1.4 times stronger and stiffer than ABS and can be reinforced with any continuous fiber. Onyx sets the bar for surface finish, chemical resistivity, and heat tolerance.
• Onyx FR is a Blue Card certified UL94 V-0 material that possesses similar
mechanical properties to Onyx. It’s best for applications in which flame retardancy, light weight, and strength are required.
• Onyx ESD is a static dissipative safe variant of Onyx — meeting stringent ESD safety requirements while offering excellent strength, stiffness, and surface finish. It’s best used in applications that require ESD safe materials.
• Nylon White parts are smooth, non-abrasive, and easily painted. They can
be reinforced with any continuous fiber and work best for non-marring work holding, repeated handling, and cosmetic parts.
• Smooth TPU 95A is a rubber-like material that when used with Markforged composite printers offers product developers and manufacturers the ability to create flexible, impact-absorbent parts on demand.
• Precise PLA is our easy-to-print plastic for precision concept modeling and validation. Based on the most common 3D printing prototyping material, Precise PLA 3D prints without warping and comes in a variety of colors. Best of all, it’s affordable. So you can use as much as you need to fine-tune your designs before implementation.

“Continuous Fiber“
• Carbon Fiber has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of our reinforcing fibers. Six times stronger and eighteen times stiffer than Onyx, Carbon Fiber reinforcement is commonly used for parts that replace machined aluminum.
• Fiberglass is our entry level continuous fiber, providing high strength at an
accessible price. 2.5 times stronger and eight times stiffer than Onyx, Fiberglass reinforcement results in strong, robust tools.
•Kevlar® possesses excellent durability, making it optimal for parts that experience
repeated and sudden loading. As stiff as fiberglass and much more ductile, it can be used for a wide variety of applications.
• High Strength High Temperature (HSHT) Fiberglass exhibits aluminum strength
and high heat tolerance. Five times as strong and seven times as stiff as Onyx, it’s best used for parts loaded in high operating temperatures.

We are manufacturer of custom industrial parts made of elastic, compact (= non-foamed) polyurethane.

The plastic is similar to rubber, but has many advantages; among them are:
• very high mechanical strength,
• as well as very high cut resistance, excellent elastic recovery,
• low abrasion,
• different colors available, but no color abrasion

For instance, Elastomeric polyurethane is used for
• damping (collision) elements
• heavy-duty wheels and roller coatings,
• wear protectives.

Wherever rubbing, shaking, turning, sliding, bouncing is an issue, our material guarantees precise movement / reliable hold and right protection.
Our Shore hardness range is from 25 ° to 95 ° Shore A.

The company ASS Maschinenbau GmbH

ASS Maschinenbau GmbH was founded in 1983 and offers around 120 employees a challenging and attractive job with prospects and topics of the future. ASS serves the gripper parts and EOAT market worldwide and has been served locally by >ASS End of arm Tooling Inc. located in Plymouth, Michigan. ASS belongs to INDUS Holding AG since 2002.

The employees in Overath and partners around the world develop intelligent solutions for various tasks in the fields of automation and robotics. The mechatronic ASS gripper parts are all developed, designed and produced at the certified climate-neutral location in Overath.
The quality management is of course certified according to ISO 9001:2015 and all affected products take into account the EC Machinery Directive.

The product range includes mechatronic gripper parts, robot hands (EOAT), automation systems, 3D printing, FRP handling and ultra-lightweight construction and is rounded off by various services. ASS offers customized solutions for everything to do with injection molding and automation for manufacturers and suppliers in the automotive, e-mobility, lightweight construction and plastic injection molding industries.
Everything from a single source

As a German manufacturer with over 40 years of experience, we supply customer-oriented and high-quality EOAT components or complete solutions. The areas of application range from individual mechatronic components to complete turnkey solutions. This is made possible by the ASS robot hand construction kit, which contains over 2,000 mechatronic components and the supporting over 6,000 special gripper parts. This extensive modular system enables gripping solutions to be adapted to the product areas and production processes of our customers.

ASS automates, among other things, complex work processes in the plastics processing industry and handling solutions for components made of composite materials. Our components and automation systems are used to handle everything from the smallest plastic parts to complex interior and exterior parts.
A lot is also possible in the areas of electromobility. For example, from individual cells to finished battery packs or from small plugs to entire e-charging stations.
