Automotive Industry
Our industry solutions.
From body-in-white automation to final assembly: our rack-and-pinion drives and system solutions move car bodies, tools and assemblies with the highest repeatability – whilst delivering maximum cycle time performance.
Precision and efficiency in automotive production.
With LEANTECHNIK solutions.
For over 30 years, we have been supporting automotive manufacturers and plant engineers with robust, low-maintenance drive systems for highly dynamic production environments. Our lifgo® and lean SL® gearboxes form the basis for precise positioning, lifting and transfer movements – individually combined in modular system solutions (LEANTECHNIK SYSTEMS). Whether for the press shop, body-in-white production or final assembly – we develop exactly the motion your plant requires.
Press shop
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, robust lifting and positioning solutions with the highest repeatability. Thanks to the modular design, systems can be quickly reconfigured and flexibly adapted to new tools or cycle times. This allows you to increase your productivity without compromising on precision.
Bodywork
In bodywork construction, precision, repeatability and process reliability are crucial. LEANTECHNIK systems play a key role here in the handling, positioning and synchronisation of components – from the roof frame to the side panels. Our lifgo® and lean SL® gearboxes move heavy components reliably and with millimetre precision, even under high lateral forces. Thanks to the modular design, lifting units and axis systems can be tailored precisely to the specific assembly station – ensuring maximum flexibility in automated welding, screw-fastening or joining processes.
Paint shop
In the paint shop, every movement counts: precise, consistent and repeatable processes form 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 repeatability of our rack-and-pinion drives ensures consistent application and minimises material wastage. Thanks to their robust, low-maintenance design, your system remains precise and efficient even during continuous operation – delivering a clean result in every cycle time.
Engine, gearbox and axle manufacturing
High cycle rates, varying variants and maximum precision – in the manufacture of engines, gearboxes and axles, every movement counts. With LEANTECHNIK’s modular lifgo® and lean SL® systems, 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 essential in engine, gearbox and axle assembly – particularly 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® systems, lifting and positioning solutions can be tailored precisely to the specific work step and expanded quickly as required. Thanks to compatible components and standardised 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 key to process reliability and quality. With its lifgo® and lean SL® systems, LEANTECHNIK offers flexible, low-maintenance lifting and guidance solutions that can be integrated seamlessly into existing assembly lines. Whether for component feeding, height adjustment or synchronised motion sequences – our gearboxes operate reliably, precisely and with high repeatability. Thanks to the modular system design, systems can be quickly adapted to new variants or processes – ensuring maximum flexibility right through to the final assembly step.

3-axis positioning system
Efficient. Flexible. Future-proof.
With LEANTECHNIK’s three-axis positioning system (DAP), automotive manufacturers can overcome the challenges of modern production lines. A wide variety of body variants can be efficiently manufactured using just a single 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 LEANTECHNIK be integrated into existing production lines?
Thanks to standardised interfaces, a choice of sizes (e.g. lifgo® 5.1–5.4) and modular mounting structures, retrofitting is possible without the need for major system modifications.
Can LEANTECHNIK systems be combined with robots?
Yes, our drives can be combined perfectly with industrial robots or gantry axes.
What are the benefits of a modular design for OEMs and suppliers?
It enables flexible system designs for different vehicle models – without the need for new construction.
The identical rack geometries allow for interchangeability across several model ranges.
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, consistent operation.
