Scalable. Configurable. Future-ready.
Highly Efficient Modular Machine Design for AGM and SLI battery production lines

ELBC 2026, Vienna, 15–18 September
At ELBC 2026 in Vienna, we showed how we are making battery production more flexible, scalable and future-proof with a highly efficient modular machine design. Our approach allows us to tailor production lines precisely to our customers' needs while minimizing investment risks. Or in other words:
Modular today. Ready for tomorrow.
The platform idea in one view
Our entire philosophy can be summarized in three concepts. One modular system creates a consistent machine architecture across the production line.
Configurable
A common framework from one to five stations.
Versatile
Filling, testing and finishing line applications.
Convertible
From automatic to fully automatic operations.
We create a unified machine architecture that supports a wide variety of processes and levels of automation.
Scale capacity without changing the concept
From a single up to several stations: the base frame construction can be used for both single and multiple stations.
Single station
Double station
Up to five stationsMachines with a smaller footprint mean there is no need to construct larger facilities. This saves on investment costs.
Modular today. Ready for tomorrow.
Configure the process to the customer requirement
Depending on the customer's requirements, various function units can be integrated.
The modular system consists of three key components: the lifting unit, the adjustment unit and the respective function unit. This combination allows for a wide variety of machine configurations on the same platform.
Servo-driven lifting unit
Adjustment unit
Individual function unitExamples include:
This allows us to configure exactly the solution the customer needs. No more, no less.
Designed for serviceability and faster maintenance
During development, great emphasis was placed on user-friendly maintenance.
Functional modules can be easily removed, which significantly reduces maintenance and repair times.
Convertible to full automation
Another advantage is how easily the platform scales with the level of automation.

Customers can start with a manual solution and upgrade to full, servo-driven automation later. This allows the investment to grow along with the business.
Modular today. Ready for tomorrow.
Software architecture for data recording and storage
The production data collected is visualized and analyzed in a transparent manner. This provides our customers with valuable information for optimizing their production and quality processes.
Our modular machines in several applications
Here you can see various applications of our modular platform. Regardless of the process or level of automation, everything is based on the same fundamental philosophy.
You are not just buying a machine. You are investing in a platform – one that grows with your business.Modular, flexible and future-proof.
The customer value is lifecycle value
The real added value for our customers is realized over the entire product lifecycle.
One platform
Consistent design across production lines.
Precision
Servo-driven units for repeatable movement.
Serviceability
Removable function blocks simplify maintenance.
Fewer spares
Identical components reduce inventory complexity.
Flexibility
Wide range of applications and combinations.
Upgradeability
Clear path from automatic to fully automatic.
All these factors reduce the total cost of ownership in the long term. How much does a machine cost over a period of ten or fifteen years? That is precisely where the greatest advantage of our modular concept lies.
- Fewer replacement parts
- Easier maintenance
- Same platform
- Easy expansion
Modular today. Ready for tomorrow.
Let's configure the right machine for your production line.
At ELBC 2026 in Vienna, we showed how a modular platform supports a wide variety of battery applications: how customers can gradually expand their capacity without changing the machine design, and how we combine automation, digitalization and future-proofing in a single solution.
If you are planning new production capacity, modernizing existing lines or looking to advance automation, please contact us. Let's work together to see how our platform concept fits your production process. The most successful production lines are the most flexible ones – that's exactly why we developed our modular platform.
