ROHMANN DEFENCE | MOBILE INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY
KEEP THE ROBOT.
CHANGE THE PROCESS.
Mobile Robotic Manufacturing & Repair
Industrial manufacturing capabilities should not be permanently tied to individual machines. ROHMANN is developing a modular robotic platform that separates robotic motion from the manufacturing process – enabling new capabilities through exchangeable, software-enabled Process Cassettes.

THE CORE INNOVATION
One Robotic Platform. Evolving Capabilities.
ROHMANN's modular architecture separates the industrial robot from the actual manufacturing technologies. Instead of integrating every process permanently into one machine, independent Process Cassettes can be connected through a standardized docking interface. Each Process Cassette is designed to combine process equipment, mechanical and electrical interfaces, media connections, software, parameters and industrial process knowledge – enabling the platform to be expanded with additional manufacturing capabilities over its lifetime.
01 — Decoupled Architecture
The robotic platform remains independent of the manufacturing process.
02 — Exchangeable Process Cassettes
Dedicated process modules can be connected or replaced as manufacturing requirements change.
03 — Software-Enabled Expansion
New process capabilities can be integrated through compatible software modules, process parameters and standardized interfaces.
PROCESS CASSETTE TECHNOLOGY
The Process Defines the Capability. Not the Robot.
Each Process Cassette can be engineered to include dedicated process hardware, control components, interfaces, software and process-specific knowledge. The technical objective is an extensible platform rather than an isolated machine for each industrial process.
CASSETTE 01
Additive Manufacturing
Robot-guided material deposition for building geometries and adding material to existing components.
CASSETTE 02
Laser Cladding
Precise deposition of functional layers to rebuild worn surfaces and protect against wear and corrosion.
CASSETTE 03
Arc Welding
Robotic joining and build-up welding for structural and repair tasks on steel components.
CASSETTE 04
Laser Welding
Low-distortion, high-precision joining with concentrated heat input and narrow seams.
CASSETTE 05
Robotic Milling
Subtractive machining of deposited material and functional contours within the robot workspace.
CASSETTE 06
Grinding & Surface Finishing
Force-controlled finishing to achieve defined surface quality after deposition or welding.
CASSETTE 07
3D Scanning & Inspection
Geometry capture for damage assessment, path generation and dimensional verification.
CASSETTE 0X
Future Process Technologies
Additional processes can be developed as compatible cassettes through the standardized docking interface.
Note: The process technologies shown are modular development possibilities. Not all are necessarily available or qualified today.

MOBILE ROBOTIC PLATFORM
Industrial Manufacturing. Wherever It Is Needed.
The platform concept integrates a complete robotic manufacturing cell into a 40-foot high-cube ISO-style container. In its closed transport state, the unit is designed to be lifted by crane via standard corner castings and moved by road, rail or sea. At the destination, the side walls open to expose the working area. Operation is only intended within an appropriately enclosed, interlocked and validated configuration that has been assessed for the specific site and process.
- Industrial robot on bridge console
- Workpiece positioner and loading area
- Welded steel structure with aluminium diamond-plate flooring
- Control cabinets and operator HMI
- Process interfaces for media and energy supply
- Rear Process Cassette Docking Interface
