TÜNKERS Worldwide Automation Technology made in Ratingen

As a German family-owned enterprise in second generation, we have developed from technical engineers into an international supplier of automation technology for serial production.

We share the enthusiasm for technology with our worldwide staff of 500, never failing to strive for the better more innovative solution. This is another reason why our products are not commercial goods but “home-grown products“, invented, constructed, produced and marketed by us – always in a close dialog with our customers, OEMs, plant engineers and engineering offices.

Even though the complexity of these systems is continuously on the rise, the automation lines are consistently and quintessentially based upon the same functions of clamping, processing and transporting. It is our objective to hand you a construction kit suiting industrial needs, for the new standard functions within the robotic environment, made of robust, maintenance-free components, designed for extreme operational conditions of line production in the automotive industry and its components suppliers – with turnkey modules already equipped with drive units, transmission, process monitoring systems and relevant interfaces and thus cover functions such as clamping or conveying as a whole.

This TÜNKERS construction kit renders plant engineering:
Faster – Plants can be fashioned faster through the consequent use of turnkey modules; time-consuming customised solutions are rendered obsolete.
Safer – Because it is always resorted to the tried and tested basics – the functional components.
More flexible – Because standards can be easily recomposed and adjusted to different framework conditions.

Experience Success in Series.

Tuenkers Automation Products set the standard. When looking for a partner who can offer innovative and efficient single-operation or entire system solutions for your production parts, Tuenkers is your choice! And if you value speed, flexibility, innovative concepts based on years of experience and personal engagement, then Tuenkers, a true family business, will convince you.
What can we do for you?

Lift and Carry Units Combined with Flexible Floor Clamping Technology

The combination of flexible conveying technology with flexible floor clamping technology, has now been perfected further in a current project in Czechia. This development is based on the implementation of simple serial EXPERT-TÜNKERS components during some earlier projects.

APM on Board

The Spanish enterprise APM, operating in the field of systems engineering and conveying technology, filed for voluntary bankruptcy several months ago. Based on the conclusion of a transition contract between APM and TÜNKERS Ibérica S.L.  on 29 July 2011, our Spanish subsidiary has been put in the position to process orders within the range of conveying technology, in co-operation with APM, who are undergoing bankruptcy proceedings, for the time being. To this end, TÜNKERS Ibérica resorts to the know-how of APM and sub-commissions corresponding services such as design engineering, project work and installation.

Impulses for Automation
TÜNKERS and EXPERT-TÜNKERS Symposium June 8 - 9 2011

Since 11 March of this year, the Earth has been turning faster. It cannot be felt, even though the average day is now indeed minimally shorter. What is noticeable however, is the impact of the catastrophe in other fields, e.g. in energy politics, which are currently under review worldwide.

End-position-locked lifting

Although sounding trivial despite the length of the term, it is not always easily technically realisable, because with standard systems the lifting and subsequent locking is achieved by two different actuators.

Welding clamp with transformer instead of copper contact rail system

It is an open secret that the TÜNKERS welding clamp is only a modified toggle joint clamp. The modified toggle mechanism provides for special adjustment when spot welding.

When the robot runs out of puff

..., finding an inexpensive way to fulfil the required application task is unfeasible.
EXPERT-TÜNKERS heavy-duty axes provide a solution that can move, for instance loads of up to 4 t, by means of combined rotating and lifting axes.
