ROBOWORKER Automation

What ROBOWORKER Automation does

ROBOWORKER Automation GmbH is a privately held, family-owned German mechanical engineering company headquartered in Weingarten in the Lake Constance region. Founded in 1989 as a robot system integrator, the company designs and manufactures high-end production and inspection machines for the powder metallurgy and sintering industries, with all manufacturing conducted at its Weingarten facility. The core product portfolio centers on powder compacting technology (RP powder presses and RPC powder compacting cells), robotic automation systems (PAG and RHA series for press removal and handling), automated green part processing (RDS drilling stations, RBS deburring systems), re-palletizing systems (RPS), AI-enabled inspection machines (RoboInspect RIS family), and packaging/labeling solutions (RPL and RLC stations). The company also operates an in-house 3D Printing Center for additive manufacturing of custom workpiece carriers and machinery parts.

The company serves sintering-related verticals including the carbide (indexable inserts), technical and dental ceramics, special materials, precious metals, automotive, watchmaking, battery technology, and medical technology sectors. Its go-to-market combines a headquarters-based direct enterprise field sales team in Germany with regional channel partners in China (Asia Consult Corp., Shanghai) and Japan (GOSHO Co., Ltd., Tokyo), plus an e-commerce online shop for accessories, spare parts, and consumables. Revenue is generated through capital equipment sales (powder presses, compacting cells, robotic automation, inspection machines), custom special machinery projects, and recurring service streams including tiered teleservice packages (S/M/L) and online training. The firm describes itself as a creative interdisciplinary team combining mechanical engineering, robotics, image processing, and IT, led by founder and Managing Director Michael Giray alongside his son Matthias Giray in sales.

Recent strategic activity has emphasized AI integration across the product line: AI-enhanced compacting cells were first delivered in April 2025, and the RIS SPECIAL EDITION introduced fully automated AI-enabled inspection. The company has also launched the RLC 100 labeling station (June 2025) and the RLC 50 tabletop labeler (March 2026), and has formalized a co-development partner network with AGATHON in grinding and laser machining. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or external institutional investors, and currently lists 11-50 employees.
