Assembly and test equipment for
automotive actuators
Actuators are essential components in the electronic control systems of passenger cars and commercial vehicles, converting electrical signals from the control unit into precise mechanical actions. Typically, they include electric motors or electromagnetic valves that adjust flaps, regulate fluid flow, or activate pumps to generate hydraulic or pneumatic pressure in systems like braking and steering.
To meet these demands, XENON develops tailored automation solutions that combine high precision with short cycle times, enabling efficient, adaptable production processes that meet the stringent standards of the automotive industry.
Our key competencies for automotive actuators are:
- High-precision assembly processes
- Extensive technology portfolio for applications demanding high cleanliness
- Ensuring compliance with increased cleanliness requirements in assembly
- Automated setup processes for a high number of product variants
- AOI of complex assemblies
- Smart process data management
- External system integration
- Responsibility as general contractor

Automation and Assembly Portfolio
XENON assembly and inspection solutions for automotive actuators
covers the most important applications in the vehicle - for any kind of powertrain technology.
Magnetic
Magnetic actuators use electromagnetic forces to generate movement.
Mechanical
Mechanical actuators use mechanical mechanisms such as levers, gears, cams or wheels to initiate movement and actions.
Hydraulic
Hydraulic actuators use fluids, usually oil or other hydraulic fluids, to generate pressure and mechanical movement.
Piezoelectric
Piezoelectric actuators utilize the piezoelectric phenomenon in which certain materials deform mechanically when an electric field is applied.
Pneumatic
Pneumatic actuators use compressed air or gas to generate mechanical movement.
