innovative 
customisation

Mechanical engineering and automation are the core activities of the Industrial Automation business unit. We provide customised services in the (re)design and implementation of machines or installations. We develop, build, integrate and install customer-specific machines and installations for advanced production processes. We also design special equipment and tools.

Our customers are both OEMs and end users. In addition to the internal development/project team, ACE also employs specialised staff, from design engineers/draftsmen to project leaders, who can be deployed on customer sites.

turn-key 
solutions

ACE has thorough knowledge and experience with the implementation of automation projects. It is not only the thinking up of technical solutions that is important here. Planning, choice of materials and machine safety are also crucial. The aim is to achieve a reliable, safe and properly functioning machine. Within budget and delivery time.

ACE makes its contribution from the concept phase up to and including realisation, start-up, testing, technical inspection, adjustment, commissioning and training of users. The multidisciplinary character makes the Industrial Automation business unit a high-quality engineering partner.

multidisciplinary
teams

The starting point is the customer’s automation need. From this point of view, a concept is then devised that is discussed extensively with the customer. We have specialists in mechanical, electrical and control engineering, including vision controls and robotics.

Right from the concept phase, they work in close-knit teams to produce integrated designs. This ultimately prevents practical problems during the construction of the machine. The design teams are closely involved in the assembly and installation, which means an efficient start-up with minimum time loss.

ROCKFON - AUTOMATION PACKAGING LINE

Rockfon aims to achieve far-reaching automation of its entire production process of its T-Profiles. Automating the packaging process was not easy: complex manoeuvres that a hand can easily perform are much more difficult for a machine. Nevertheless, ACE successfully automated the entire packing process of Rockfon T-profiles.

Machine manufacturers are increasingly using the design and ergonomics of their machines strategically in order to retain customers. Manufacturers distinguish themselves in the market with designs that are in line with their own identity or that are being completely aligned with the customer’s identity. In addition, a good ergonomic design ensures that customer operators are happy to work on their machines.

destacker Pittsburgh Corning

Pittsburgh Corning manufactures cellular glass for high-quality thermal insulation systems including facade insulation, interior insulation, insulation for flat and metal roofs and floor insulation. ACE Industrial Automation designed and manufactured a so-called destacker for Pittsburgh Corning.
