Flexible assembly cells: Assemble 24/7 without quality fluctuations
Assembly cells revolutionize your production: With flexible systems for gluing, screwing, testing and more automated processes, you reduce costs, increase product quality, and easily adapt to new requirements.
Assembly cell: More than a necessity
Whether in series or variant production – many companies today struggle with increasing variety, fluctuating quantities, and ever-higher quality requirements. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find reliable specialists for monotonous assembly tasks. The shortage of skilled workers, high sickness rates, and quality fluctuations make planning and implementation additionally challenging.
This is where our AS integrated assembly cell comes in: It reliably takes over repetitive tasks 24/7 and guarantees consistent quality – completely without personnel bottlenecks. Thanks to quick retrofitting, modular expandability, and connectivity to automated logistics systems, it is ideal for companies that want to react flexibly to changing order conditions while simultaneously reducing their costs and risks.

Features of the flexible assembly cell by gKteso
The assembly cell from gKteso is an advanced solution for automated manufacturing processes, convincing with its modular design and diverse functions. Here is an overview of the key product features:
Flexible modular system
The assembly cell from gKteso is based on a modular concept that allows individual adaptation to different requirements. It can be equipped with four or more robots to perform a variety of assembly steps.
Camera-supported robotics
A camera-supported separation robot precisely identifies and positions the components. This ensures accurate processing and minimizes errors.
Material supply via turntable
The material supply is carried out via a turntable, which efficiently integrates the components into the processing process. This ensures smooth operations and enables continuous production.
Suitable for medium batch sizes
The system is ideal for medium batch sizes and can process components up to a weight of two kilograms. This flexibility makes it versatile, especially in industries such as automotive, electronics, or medical technology.
Integrated inspection and marking stations
Inspections and markings can be directly integrated into the process to ensure the quality and traceability of the products.
User-friendly operation
The control of the assembly cell is intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring easy handling and maintenance.
Operation of the assembly cell
Our assembly cell is an automated unit that performs various assembly steps such as gluing, screwing, greasing, pressing, inserting, and testing within a compact system.
Our solution, the Assembling System (AS) integrated by gKteso, consists of a flexible assembly cell, a camera-supported separation robot, and a turntable for material supply.
1 The process begins with material supply via the turntable, where the separation robot identifies and positions the components.
2 Within the assembly cell, robots precisely execute the assembly steps.
3 Thanks to the modular system, the assembly cell can be equipped with four or more robots to guide the parts to different processing points.
4 The system’s flexibility allows for quick retrofitting for various tasks, making it suitable for medium batch sizes and components up to a weight of two kilograms.
5 Finally, inspections and markings can be integrated to ensure product quality and traceability.
Applicability and executable processes of the assembly cell
Our assembly cells are versatile and particularly suitable for the following processes:
Gluing
Precise application of adhesives for the permanent connection of components.
Screwing
Automated screwing for uniform and secure connections.
Greasing
Targeted application of lubricants to reduce friction and wear.
Pressing
Controlled insertion of components into pre-fabricated mounts.
Inserting
Positioning of parts in fixtures or assemblies.
Testing
Quality control through inspection and testing of assembled products.
