IBG Automation GmbH products

IBG designs innovative robot modifications and processes to enable experts to remotely disassemble using a control panel. The goal of the energy transition is a sustainable energy supply that does not depend on fossil and atomic fuels. This transfer is a big challenge. Old plants that are not up to par with the energy transition must be replaced by new ones without endangering the energy supply. To this end, IBG is developing a concept for an automated solution in the context of dismantling a nuclear power plant. The goal of “decommissioning back to greenfield” is the safe disposal of radiant substances without them coming into contact with people and the environment. Since the local environmental conditions do not permit the direct employment of personnel, several robot systems are used for the dismantling measures which can operate from safe distance both remotely controlled and automatically.

The composite fibre material CFRP (carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic), manufactured from carbon fibres and epoxy resin, has become indispensable in the aerospace, wind energy and racing industries. This is thanks to its numerous positive characteristics, which are unique in this combination. For example, CFRP has a comparatively low density with a very high stability and rigidity. In at least the same function, CFRP is a good third lighter than aluminium and at most half as heavy as steel. All this makes CFRP the ideal material for use in modern lightweight construction with the aim of increasing energy efficiency in order to conserve resources and thus protect the environment long term.

As a partner of leading industrial companies, IBG has been developing automated production techniques for many years to enable the economical mass production of CFRP components, especially in the automotive industry. From development through design and prototype construction to batch production of complex CFRP structures, IBG customers receive all engineering services from a single source in order to promote the expansion of these groundbreaking future technologies.
