Güdel

Güdel is a global manufacturer of linear motion systems and gantry robots engineered for high-performance automation in demanding industrial environments. We specialize in moving, positioning, and handling large, heavy, or complex workpieces with precision, repeatability, and long-term reliability. Our core portfolio includes linear tracks (7th axis / RTUs), gantry robots, and fully engineered multi-axis motion systems. These solutions are designed to extend the working range of industrial robots, increase throughput, and eliminate inefficiencies in large work envelopes where traditional robot configurations fall short. Güdel systems are built on hardened steel rack-and-pinion drives, precision gearboxes, and rigid structural designs that deliver consistent accuracy over long strokes and high payloads. Unlike alternative motion technologies, our solutions are engineered to maintain performance under real production conditions—including high loads, continuous duty cycles, and harsh environments. At Automate, attendees will see how Güdel enables automation in applications that are often considered difficult or impractical, including: • Heavy payload handling • Large-part machining and finishing • Robotic welding at extended reaches • Grinding and material removal applications • Multi-robot coordination over large workspaces We work closely with system integrators, OEMs, and end users to deliver application-specific solutions that integrate seamlessly with leading robot brands such as ABB, FANUC, KUKA, and Yaskawa. Our strength lies in solving challenges where reach, rigidity, and precision intersect. Whether extending a robot’s working envelope, synchronizing multiple axes of motion, or designing a gantry system for large-scale automation, Güdel provides proven solutions backed by decades of engineering expertise. With manufacturing and support locations worldwide, Güdel combines Swiss engineering with global application experience to support customers across automotive, aerospace, heavy industry, and general manufacturing.
