Powertrain
PIA power for more productivity
PIA’s modular production units comprise all the machines and equipment needed to assemble and test powertrain assemblies.
We have co-written automotive history in this sector. Numerous technology developments in the powertrain are based on automated processes that have been developed and refined by PIA.
Our most important motivation is to combine innovative production technologies with technically mature solutions and to open up new ways for our customers to achieve reliable productivity.

Assembly line systems
The powertrain sector is a specialty of PIA Automation and includes a wide range of components.
Our extensive experience with production environments for powertrain production makes our technology portfolio in this sector predestined for future concepts in the field of e-mobility. Short development times in combination with proven test methods lead to a fast serial production run.
We have developed production solutions for the following powertrain components:
- Dual clutch
- Torsional dampers
- Hybrid drive modules
- Front- and rear-wheel drive modules
- Transfer transmission
- Power take offs
- Transmissions
- Torque vectoring units
- Wheel hubs
- FDU & RDU assemblies
- Camshafts
- Balance shaft units
- Turbo chargers
- Rocker covers
- Oil sumps, piston cooling systems
Laserschweißzellen
Für die Fertigung von Powertrain-Komponenten liefert PIA Gesamtlösungen rund um das Laserschweißen.
Neben den Eigenschaften schnell und flexibel bieten Gesamtlösungen von PIA ein Maximum an Prozesssicherheit.
Schweißverbindungen ermöglichen es, im Design von Bauteilen die Baugröße als auch das Gewicht deutlich zu reduzieren. Auch die Herstellkosten von Gesamtaggregaten können so verringert werden. Beim Einsatz von Lasern in Schweißprozessen – speziell bei der Verwendung von Festkörperlasern – können weitere Kostensenkungspotenziale in der Produktion erschlossen werden.
Ein sicherer Einsatz dieser Lasertechnologien ist maßgeblich für einen langfristigen Erfolg. Daher bietet PIA Automation innovative Lösungen an, die die Qualität der Prozesse gewährleisten und für hohe Prozesssicherheit bekannt sind.
EOL-Tester
End-of-line-Tester - flexible test systems
For many years now, electronics have been used more and more in numerous products.
End-of-line tests are therefore essential for every manufacturer to minimize risks and ensure the safety and satisfaction of users. To ensure test coverage at the highest possible throughput, you need a flexible test solution from PIA Automation.
Test systems from PIA set high standards in terms of precision and high quality. The portfolio ranges from complete end-of-line test fields to in-line testers integrated into the assembly process. Independent of fully automated test concepts with low cycle times, PIA's product and service range also covers the development and manufacture of audit test benches with maximum product flexibility.
Electrical modules for hybrid vehicles
E-components in hybrid concepts are subject to special requirements for which we offer tried & tested solutions.
The combination of internal combustion engines with an electric drive requires a completely new approach to the design of the powertrain. Vibrations, waste heat from the combustion engine and mechanical loads on the transmissions place high demands on the electric motor and the electric modules. At PIA, we have developed an expandable and highly variable solution principle for their production: semi-automated assembly cells linked by conveyor belts and buffer carts, resulting in an extremely expandable and flexible concept, which is ready for the integration of further units.
