Mechatronic Systems for Dynamic and Precise Motion and Positioning
What is a Mechatronic System?
Mechatronics is a fusion of mechanics and electronics. The term highlights the interdisciplinary nature of this field: mechatronic systems emerge from the synergy between mechanical, electronic, and information technology components. These drive systems are used in the design and development of industrial products as well as in process engineering.
Depending on the application, mechatronic systems must meet a wide range of requirements, such as control specifications, structural designs, integration into existing machinery, and more. At JAT, these systems are custom-developed and manufactured to meet individual customer needs.
Customized Mechatronic Systems
Mechatronic Systems in Automation
Mechatronic systems in automation speed up, enhance, and simplify numerous processes. These intelligent drive systems support every production phase, from assembly and packaging to the storage of manufactured goods.
Processing & Assembly
Processes like CNC or laser drilling, inspection, Marking & labeling, and subsequent panel separation are performed. Through precision milling or Laser cutting , large format panels — known as "panels" — are divided into many smaller boards. For instance, a 25x25 inch panel can be split into around 60 to 80 smartphone circuit boards through milling or punching.
Pick & Place, Positioning
Between each stage, automated handling and Pick & Place operations occur — for example, a gripper system transfers a board to a conveyor belt, a stacking system, or a workpiece carrier. During processing, the workpiece carrier is positioned or aligned with micrometer-level accuracy.
Inspection – AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) or X-Ray Inspection
Automated high-speed inspection systems are used to verify aspects such as solder joints, SMD (surface-mount device) assembly, or wire bonds. During optical Inspections , a camera moves with high precision over a circuit board in XY direction, capturing images at predefined points. These images are then compared with CAD data using specialized software.
Quick & easy: Request your axis system:
Depending on the application, JAT develops linear axis systems, rotary table systems and multi-axis systems. Please specify your application as far as you know it. Our drive experts will contact you with possible solutions and a cost estimate.
Guaranteed Compatibility of Mechatronic System Components
All components of JAT's mechatronic systems are developed in-house and can be delivered fully assembled and ready to install. This includes servo motors, servo amplifiers, can be delivered fully assembled and ready to install. Every element is factory-matched for smooth start-up.
To meet specific requirements, we can extend the package with drag chains, end-position sensors, precision encoders and other accessories, each configured for your machine. We also cooperate with established axis manufacturers so you benefit from combined expertise and high-quality mechanics.

Production lines depend on drive solutions that are precise, powerful and reliable. Drawing on broad industry know-how, JAT provides customer-focused systems that save resources, reduce maintenance and cut operating costs.
German-made quality is secured through our network of reputable suppliers and the dedication of our engineers, who work with care and curiosity on innovative motion technologies.
Precision Mechatronic Systems Tailored to Your Application
Mechatronic systems must perform entirely different tasks depending on the area of application and are therefore individually designed, manufactured and programmed for each requirement. JAT supports you at every stage of the process, from development through to production, to ensure that your drive system fits your intended application precisely.
JAT delivers complete linear axis systems, rotary tables systems and multi-axis platforms. The full drive systems are equipped with energy chains and cables, and are already programmed and calibrated. This makes our systems plug-in ready and immediately operational. Tailored exactly to your application, our main focus is on creating holistic solutions that significantly increase the efficiency of your machines.
