Manufacturing Precision Parts
MRB Automation develops adjustment systems for adjusting a wide variety of parts with accuracies down to the nearest micrometer or sub-micrometer. We develop and select the adjustment principle and the technology we need to use based on your specific requirements. This approach guarantees that your alignment will be consistently accurate every time, even in large-scale production.
Our adjustment system for PHB headlights will keep the roads powerfully lit to keep you safe. Precise measurement & adjustment to the nearest micrometer is crucial for this, and even landed us the Thuringian Innovation Prize in 2016 for our development of the PHB adjustment system.
