RACO electric cylinders in automotive industry

RACO electric cylinders are used in all of the motor car industry’s manufacturing areas: ranging from scrap-bundling in the press works and adjusting tasks during car cassing, to transporting and fitting systems from the paint shop to final assembly.

Adjusting tasks for improving the ergonomics on fitters’ workplaces are also implemented with RACO electric cylinders, e.g., height adjustment on the carrier wagon or when pre-assembling doors, in order to provide an optimum working position for the operative.

Our many years of experience with electro-mechanical actuators and the high quality of our products enable us to satisfy the automotive industry’s high demands. The flexible RACO modular system enables us to deal with the customer’s requirements individually and to develop automated solutions that are reliable and economical for the customer with help from our competent applications engineers.
