Industry solutions from LEANTECHNIK
Precision and efficiency in automotive production with solutions from LEANTECHNIK AG
For over 30 years, we have been supporting automotive manufacturers and system builders with robust, low-maintenance drive systems designed for highly dynamic production environments. Our lifgo® and lean SL® gearboxes serve as the foundation for precise positioning, lifting, and transfer movements, tailored to create modular system solutions through LEANTECHNIK SYSTEMS. Whether for stamping, body construction, or final assembly, we develop exactly the movement that your system requires.
Pressing plant
LEANTECHNIK ensures precise, synchronised movements in press applications – from tool changes to material handling. Our lifgo® and lean SL® systems form the basis for compact, resilient lifting and positioning solutions with maximum repeat accuracy. Thanks to the modular design, systems can be quickly converted and flexibly adapted to new tools or cycle times. This allows you to increase your productivity without compromising on precision.
Bodywork
Precision, repeatability and process reliability are crucial in car body construction. LEANTECHNIK systems perform key tasks in the handling, positioning and synchronisation of components – from roof frames to side panels. Our lifgo® and lean SL® gearboxes move heavy components reliably and with millimetre precision, even under high transverse forces. Thanks to the modular system, lifting units and axis systems can be adapted precisely to the respective assembly station – for maximum flexibility in automated welding, screwdriving or joining processes.
Paint shop
Every movement counts in the paint shop: precise, consistent and reproducible processes are the basis for perfect surface quality. With lifgo® and lean SL® systems from LEANTECHNIK, lifting and positioning movements can be controlled with precision – even under demanding environmental conditions. The high repeat accuracy of our rack and pinion drives ensures uniform applications and minimises material losses. Thanks to the robust, low-maintenance design, your system remains precise and efficient even during continuous operation – for a clean result in every cycle time.
Engine, gearbox and axle manufacturing
High cycle rates, changing variants and maximum precision – every movement counts in motor, gearbox and axle production. With the modular lifgo® and lean SL® construction kit systems from LEANTECHNIK, positioning and lifting applications can be flexibly scaled and precisely tailored to the production process. All components are mechanically and geometrically compatible, enabling global standardisation with minimal integration effort. The result: precise, robust and low-maintenance systems that sustainably increase productivity and plant availability.
Engine, gearbox and axle assembly
Maximum flexibility is required in engine, transmission and axle assembly – especially when handling a wide variety of variants. LEANTECHNIK systems enable precise, synchronised movements along the entire assembly line. With the modular lifgo® and lean SL® construction systems, lifting and positioning solutions can be adapted precisely to the respective work step and quickly expanded as required. Thanks to compatible components and uniform interfaces, individual modules can be combined to form complete, turnkey systems – developed and manufactured by LEANTECHNIK SYSTEMS. This ensures productivity, precision and process stability in every cycle time.
Final assembly
In final assembly, precise positioning is crucial for process reliability and quality. With lifgo® and lean SL® systems, LEANTECHNIK offers flexible, low-maintenance lifting and guidance solutions that can be integrated precisely into existing assembly lines. Whether for component feeding, height adjustment or synchronous motion sequences – our gearboxes operate reliably, precisely and with repeat accuracy. Thanks to the modular system design, systems can be quickly adapted to new variants or processes – for maximum flexibility right up to the final assembly step.

3-axis positioning system
Efficient. Flexible. Future-proof.
With LEANTECHNIK’s three-axis positioning system (DAP), automotive manufacturers can master the challenges of modern production lines. A wide variety of body variants can be efficiently manufactured with just one system – thanks to compact drive technology from AMKmotion and high-precision lifgo® rack and pinion drives. This saves space, reduces costs and increases flexibility in production.
Frequently asked questions
How can LEAN TECHNOLOGY be integrated into existing production lines?
Thanks to standardised interfaces, selectable sizes (e.g. lifgo® 5.1–5.4) and modular mounting structures, retrofitting is possible without fundamental changes to the system.
Can LEAN TECHNOLOGY systems be combined with robots?
Yes, our drives can be perfectly combined with industrial robots or gantry axes.
What advantages does the modular design offer OEMs and suppliers?
It enables flexible system concepts for different vehicle models – without the need for new construction.
The identical rack geometries allow interchangeability across multiple model lines.
Are LEANTECHNIK systems suitable for 24/7 shift operation?
Yes, all sizes are designed for continuous operation and high cycle counts.
Lifetime lubrication, precision-ground racks and hardened roller guides ensure smooth running.
