Plastic components for production and automation

swissplast supports your company by manufacturing plastic workpiece carriers, load carriers and trays. These can be integrated into your production to enable automated processes. At the same time, our plastic components impress with the highest product quality, low weight and high stability.

Trays, workpiece carriers and load carriers for production and automation

Industrial production facilities are designed for efficiency and time savings. This requires optimum interaction between the individual components. In this area, swissplast supports companies with customised and product-specific plastic load carriers for automated handling. Through the highest precision in the design of our plastic trays, we contribute to a smooth integration into the production environments of our customers. In addition, our plastic trays impress with low manufacturing costs, a long shelf life and their low mass.

Plastic components in industrial production

Our plastic components for automation and production are used in various industries: for example, we equip companies in the automotive industry that use our plastic load carriers in their production lines. Trays made of plastic are also popular in the medical, electrical and metal industries, as they are lighter and cheaper with at least the same stability as metal parts.

General information

Product information

We manufacture precisely fitting and product-specific plastic load carriers for your production. We use new or recycled ABS, PC, PE, PP, PS or PVC as materials. We can produce double-walled load carriers using the twin-sheet process. We achieve a general tolerance according to ISO 2768-c in the production of the trays.

Application area of the plastic trays

Our plastic workpiece carriers are used where parts and components are moved automatically or manually through a production line. Thanks to the individual design of the trays, the components sit securely and can be processed according to plan.

Improved handling with plastic trays

The workpiece carriers and trays made of plastic ensure that components are mobile in both manual and automated handling in production lines. At the same time, the stable trays ensure a high level of product safety and reduce outages.

FAQ

In which industries are plastic trays used?

Due to our production processes, we are very flexible and basically not bound to individual industries. However, the majority of our customers are active in the automotive, automotive supplier, medical, electrical engineering, plastics technology, metal industry and automation sectors.

What accuracy can be expected?

DTo ensure that the plastic trays from swissplast can be integrated into your production line without any problems, they are manufactured with high precision. We comply with ISO 2768-c.

How can protection against twisting be ensured?

To counteract the danger of twisting of the plastic load carriers, we can either apply a marking by means of a colour strip or adapt the contour of the load carrier.

Plastic workpiece carriers for production and automation

swissplast is your reliable partner for the production of plastic workpiece carriers for your company. Industry 4.0 is characterised by a growing trend towards automation of production processes. In this context, it is elementarily important to operate production lines efficiently. This is where swissplast comes in and supports you with customised plastic workpiece carriers that hold your products precisely and carry them optimally through the production lines. In this way, our plastic workpiece carriers improve the manual and automated handling of the parts. In this way, our plastic workpiece carriers save time and money in the course of automation.

Trays made of plastic – best quality for your production

The plastic tray is the state-of-the-art solution when it comes to production methods in the industry. In contrast to trays made of metal, plastic trays are on the one hand cheaper to produce and on the other hand have a significantly lower weight. This means that they can be handled more easily by factory personnel. At the same time, there is no loss of stability with plastic trays compared to metal trays: Through the selection of high-quality materials, optimal planning of the production as well as precise implementation, we are able to produce the best possible plastic trays for you cost-effectively, in large quantities and, above all, quickly. Due to a high repetition accuracy in the production of plastic trays, we have an extremely low reject rate, which in turn keeps the price favourable and the production of waste low. Here we have no difficulty in working according to ISO 2768-c and guaranteeing a high fitting accuracy of the parts.

Plastic load carriers – a swissplast speciality

swissplast has been producing plastic load carriers and plastic KLT inserts for leading industrial companies with the greatest possible success for many years. We have a great deal of freedom in the design of the load carriers and can implement your requirements exactly according to plan. On the one hand, this includes the shape of the plastic load carriers, which we can realise product-specifically for your production. On the other hand, you have free choice when it comes to the colour, thickness or printing of the plastic load carriers. Thanks to our assembly manufacturing and twin-sheet production methods, we are also able to integrate other working materials or produce double-walled load carriers. In this way, swissplast supports companies in the automotive industry, medical technology or the electrical industry and contributes to increased efficiency in production with custom-fit plastic load carriers.
