Handling technology - Positioning

Despite the seemingly simple appearance of the components sometimes used, a great deal of attention goes into the concepts employed in the area of handling technology. The component must work repeatedly with very high positioning accuracy and without damaging the product being handled. The material used must be virtually wear-free and resistant to all media and environmental parameters. Furthermore, no traces of abrasion can be left on the component to be handled. High-performance ceramics are tailor-made for this application thanks to their inherent properties.
