Company Profile
Project-based engineering, not only single-machine delivery
NBKEM focuses on customer-specific automation projects for automotive interiors, mold-related equipment and non-standard production scenarios. Our work covers solution evaluation, mechanical design, electrical control, fixtures, assembly, commissioning and on-site implementation.
Engineering Focus
We define process risks before confirming equipment concepts
For automotive interior parts, stable production depends on positioning, heating, pressure, changeover, poka-yoke logic and maintainability. Clarifying these points early makes the proposal, timeline and acceptance criteria more practical.
Positioning and Surface Protection
Interior parts often have visible surfaces. Fixtures must protect appearance while maintaining reliable datum control and ergonomic loading.
Flexible Changeover
For multi-platform and multi-version programs, common parts, quick-change modules, mold trolleys and recipe control help reduce downtime.
Maintainability and Replication
Clear structure, pneumatic layout, electrical layout and wear-part access help customers troubleshoot faster and replicate solutions for future projects.
Core Capabilities
From product process to equipment implementation
We integrate mechanical structures, electrical control, pneumatic execution, heating modules and fixture systems around hot riveting, wrapping, assembly, inspection and custom tooling.
Custom Automation Development
Customized mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and safety concepts based on product structure, cycle time, datum strategy and quality checkpoints.

Technical Review
Engineering conditions to clarify before quotation
Even for the same hot riveting, wrapping or assembly category, different part structures and plant standards can lead to different equipment concepts. This checklist helps customers prepare useful input.
Product and Materials
Part material, visible surfaces, allowable force areas, thermal deformation risk and material behavior of leather, plastic, wood veneer or aluminum parts.
Process Window
Temperature, pressure, time, displacement, cooling, holding and glue-curing requirements should be reviewed before finalizing machine actions.
Positioning Datum
Main datum, secondary location, clamping direction, loading path and error-proofing design affect repeatability and operator variation.
Cycle Time and Capacity
Target takt time, shift plan, changeover frequency and loading method determine whether a single-station, multi-station or semi-automatic concept is suitable.
Quality Control
Define required checks such as presence, pressure, temperature, weld status, missing parts, wrong parts, appearance protection and alarms.
Site Conditions
Confirm power, air supply, footprint, logistics direction, safety standards, customer-specified brands and maintenance capability.

Before Inquiry
Prepare these details for a faster and clearer proposal
You can contact us even if the documentation is incomplete, but clearer input helps narrow down equipment concept, timeline and quotation scope.
What information should be provided?
Product photos or 3D/2D drawings, sample status, process description, cycle-time target, quality requirements, site space and customer-specified component brands.
Can we start with samples only?
Yes. We can provide an initial review, but detailed concept work usually requires key dimensions, datum strategy, material characteristics and appearance-protection requirements.
Can equipment follow customer-specified component brands?
PLC, cylinders, sensors, heating modules and safety components can be discussed according to customer plant standards and confirmed in the technical agreement.
How to judge whether a process is suitable for automation?
We usually evaluate unstable manual actions, cycle-time bottlenecks, rework cost, product lifecycle, changeover frequency and expected investment return.
