Challenge

Manufacturers of advanced drones face increasing demands for performance, durability, and miniaturization. Complex assemblies of structural and electronic components require utmost precision and repeatability – while maintaining production flexibility and cost efficiency.


Manual assembly often reaches its limits when lightweight materials and sensitive electronics must be combined with tight tolerances.

 

Developing a Solution

The HAHN Automation Group provides modular production systems that integrate all critical processes for drone manufacturing — from structural assembly to final testing. Automated screwdriving systems with force and torque monitoring ensure precision and repeatability in every joint. Zero-point fixturing solutions enable accurate positioning and fast changeovers for flexible production.


Advanced adhesive dispensing with inline UV or thermal curing guarantees reliable bonding and consistent quality. Combined with intelligent data tracking and testing, these systems deliver a scalable and fully traceable manufacturing solution for high-High-Precision Assembly performance drones.
