Systems

Kinematics systems for maximum precision.

The development and realisation of our systems is based on the well thought-out combination of existing expertise, resources and extensive infrastructure.

We stand for customised solutions. We design, construct and realise your kinematics system, preferably directly on hard stone.
If solutions for individual components are available on the market that fulfil the technological and deadline requirements, we do not reinvent the wheel and fall back on them. In this way, we can also fulfil your wishes with regard to preferred components or subsystems.

Why REITZ Systems?

Our range of services is tailored to your needs. It starts with the development of single-axis systems and extends to complex multi-axis systems with motion control, safety integration and the integration of supplied components.

Our philosophy is not to compete with standard solutions from other suppliers. We are not process integrators. Instead, we focus on developing customized solutions that meet our customers' individual requirements exactly:

  • Huge variety of kinematic solutions since the choice is not limited by a product portfolio of a single company.
  • Best market insights allow the best choice of components.
  • Customer preferred suppliers can be considered.
  • Multiple supply sources reduce the risk of too long lead times. 
  • Three types of controller: budget-line, standard* and high-end*.

    * qualified for EtherCAT network.

Our aim is to combine innovative technologies with in-depth expertise

to create perfect kinematics solutions for our customers.
