We take care of the entire manufacturing, assembly, and commissioning process for your special-purpose machine — including control system programming and integration into your production environment.
At project completion, we prepare the complete technical documentation, including CE conformity assessment according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, as well as all required verifications such as FEM strength calculations and risk-based declarations. This ensures that your system fully complies with all legal and safety requirements.
Why Codronic Is Your Reliable Partner
We Are Your Engineering Office for Mechanical Design
Our customers are currently facing major challenges — rising cost pressure and increasing competition from offshore suppliers are putting significant strain on the German industrial landscape. This is exactly where Codronic makes a difference.
With our young, dynamic, and creative development team, we are able to execute projects faster and more efficiently than many competitors. Our approach is solution-oriented, innovative, and focused on quality — a combination that makes us a reliable partner, even for complex technical tasks.
Our work is built on solid experience. The Pressmetrics, a genuine Made in Germany Codronic product, is continuously tested and validated in our in-house test laboratory — directly on real test specimens. This approach offers a double advantage for our customers: on the one hand, testing is carried out under real conditions using their components; on the other hand, the product itself is continuously improved and optimized for future trials based on the insights gained. The results flow directly into our development processes — creating sustainable value for our clients.
We also emphasize transparency and knowledge sharing in our communication. For example, our blog provides in-depth insights into our working methods and technical expertise.
At our engineering office in Friedberg near Augsburg, we actively track developments in 3D CAD technology and integrate artificial intelligence into our design processes. We are currently developing tools and applications that significantly reduce repetitive work and accelerate workflows — a technological leap we are already incorporating into our solutions.
FAQ
How can cleanroom airlock systems be planned efficiently and cost-effectively?
Efficient cleanroom airlock design depends on well-coordinated zone transitions, short travel distances, and properly sized personnel and material airlocks. Through the right component selection and a clear layout design, overall system costs can be reduced without compromising the cleanroom classification or operational reliability. Optimized workflow integration and modular planning also contribute to energy efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements.
What are common mistakes in the development of machines for cleanroom applications?
Frequent errors in cleanroom machine design include using unsuitable materials, insufficient sealing systems, overly complex assemblies, and surfaces that are difficult to clean. Neglecting airflow patterns, outgassing behavior of materials, or improper particle control in moving components can significantly impact cleanroom performance. Early consideration of these factors ensures compliance with ISO cleanroom standards and long-term process stability.
Which sealing technologies are suitable for long-term use in dry rooms?
In dry room environments, PTFE- and FEP-encapsulated elastomer seals, as well as specially coated O-rings, have proven effective. These materials retain their flexibility even at very low humidity levels, ensuring durable leak-tightness. Even better results can be achieved with metal-to-metal sealing technologies such as cutting-ring seals, which are free from plastics and elastomers and provide long-term stability.
How can the efficiency of special-purpose machines be increased?
The efficiency of special-purpose machinery can be significantly improved through optimized path and motion planning, which reduces energy consumption during machine operation. Additionally, lightweight design technologies help to minimize moving masses, resulting in lower energy and maintenance costs. This approach also reduces wear and downtime, increasing overall machine availability.
What are the benefits of predictive maintenance in sensitive production areas?
Predictive maintenance allows continuous monitoring of machine condition to detect maintenance needs early and schedule interventions proactively. This increases equipment availability, lowers operating costs, and prevents unexpected failures. In sensitive production environments such as cleanrooms or dry rooms, predictive maintenance also minimizes unplanned cleaning and requalification efforts.
How can condition monitoring improve product quality?
Condition monitoring continuously tracks critical operating parameters such as temperature, vibration, and humidity. Any deviations are detected immediately, allowing timely corrective actions. This ensures consistent product quality, process stability, and long-term machine reliability — key factors for regulated industries like pharmaceuticals and semiconductor manufacturing.
Which materials are suitable for machines used in cleanroom and dry room environments?
For sensitive environments, polished stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and high-performance engineering plastics are ideal. These materials are low in particle emission, easy to clean, and low-outgassing, making them perfectly suited for cleanroom and dry room applications. Their combination of durability, surface purity, and chemical resistance ensures compliance with strict ISO cleanroom standards.
