What is Rhein-Nadel Automation like?

Rhein-Nadel Automation GmbH is a traditional family-owned business with headquarters in Aachen. With seven production sites and an international network of more than 20 partners, RNA is ready to support you worldwide. Like Schaeffler, RNA has stood for top performance in technology, quality, and reliability for decades.

It's no coincidence that RNA is the world market leader in feeding technology

RNA products and solutions play a crucial role in industrial automation and production feeding systems. These systems are specifically designed to enable streamlined and precise material feeding, where products are individually positioned and transported to the next production stage. RNA systems are widely used in industries such as automotive, electronics, and medical technology, where reliability and precision are essential.

Flexcube

Flexcube

The FlexCube® offers a flexible solution for products that are difficult to orient and for handling delicate materials. Available in various sizes and equipped with its own machine vision systems, the FlexCube® is the only vision system capable of processing multiple product types simultaneously. This makes it particularly suited for complex production lines where quick transitions between different products are required.

AI simulated feeding systems

Shorter lead times, higher availability and more safety with simulation & AI. RNA uses software and artificial intelligence for the planning, design, simulation and commissioning of your feeding system. This enables us to transform your feeding system into the digital world and map a comprehensive digital twin. And that's before we even hold your workpiece in our hands!
