Plant engineering & test systems in the defense sector

AKE technologies develops and manufactures turnkey production systems for the defense industry – from flexible manual workstations to modular cells and scalable, fully automated plants .

Our focus: reproducible quality , maximum process reliability , and seamless traceability at every stage of development. This is based on our proven expertise in assembly and testing technology, as well as in the construction of complex production systems, which we have been applying for years in safety-critical automotive applications .

Our range of services


  • Assembly & Handling: manual, semi- and fully automated processes (e.g. joining, screwing, riveting, gluing, dispensing), ergonomic manual workstations, ESD-compliant work areas
  • Testing & Quality Assurance: Inline and end-of-line test benches, electrical/functional tests, force/displacement monitoring, vision systems, leak tests; continuous process monitoring and data analysis for complete traceability
  • Process modules & special machines : modular cells for rapid scaling (small series → high volume), palletizing and transport systems, robot handling
  • Typical applications : Handling and assembly of ignition/ignition components, powder/media dosing stations, automated stacking/destacking, capsule and housing assembly, test cells for safety-relevant assemblies

Security & Compliance

We design systems according to current machinery and occupational safety guidelines , taking into account explosion/hazard zones and integrating tiered protection concepts : from fail-safe tools to multi-level access and operator authorization . Continuous data acquisition enables auditing and documentation in accordance with industry-specific quality requirements.

Scalable plant concepts

With the AKE standard cell and modular process components, systems grow with the product lifecycle – from the first prototype assembly through pre-series production to a fully automated line. Layouts are designed for rapid changeovers, high OEE, and short cycle times.

Typical components & assemblies

  • Ignition and initiator components
  • safety-relevant electronic/HV assemblies
  • Housing/Mechanics with tight tolerance chain
  • Filter and fluidics assemblies
  • Sensor/actuator modules
