Process reliability and efficiency thanks to the Matrix system.

“With the Matrix system, we not only save on the construction of fixtures, but above all gain process reliability – even with changing molds and high quantities. The solution has been running stably for us for years in two and three-shift operation.”

Fewer grippers for greater efficiency in automation.

“Matrix's solution replaces five conventional grippers in our company and has made our automation significantly more efficient. The space savings and the fact that no retooling is required were real game changers for our customer.”

Lead Manufacturing Engineer

Quality assurance at the highest level thanks to Flexstation.

“We are launching a new production line for complex aerospace parts. With the Matrix fixturing solution, we drastically reduced planned tooling costs. Instead of 240 machined fixtures for 120 parts, we now use just two programmable MATRIX pallets. The savings in cost, time, and storage space are immense.”
