Successful deployment in a wide variety of industrial sectors

A friend of the Wörner family asked for help in finding a way to damp the recoil of his hunting rifle. While investigating a possible solution, Helmut Wörner realized that he could apply the same damping concept to industrial manufacturing.

In the following years he developed the very first stopper with pneumatic damping. The technology was patented in Germany 1990, creating the basis for a success story that continues to this day.

Today, we make and market the fourth generation of this pneumatically damped stopper: the DBS-20/60.

Learn more about our new pneumatic stoppers

Schmid Maschinenbau GmbH needed separating stops that could be lowered electrically, and that were capable of stopping pallets approaching from two directions.

The specialists at Schmid and Wörner put their heads together, and came up with an idea that evolved into the DEL-350-S2. It took just eight exciting weeks of creative collaboration for the concept to a finished product. Since then, the stopper has become an integral part of our product portfolio, and is now frequently deployed in Schmid transfer systems.

The development and manufacture of innovative custom solutions

The Wörner DEL-350-S2 two-sided stopper with integrated sensors and anti-bounce stops is highly versatile: Pallets can approach and exit from and in two different directions and are precisely positioned. We welcome the chance to put our skills to the test with this and similar tasks: We are your partner for the design and manufacture of tailor-made stopper solutions for automated production. With our experience and expertise, we can advise you every step of the way – before, during and after your project.

Together with Zhu Jun, the manager of our sales office in China, we are paying a visit to MCi Mirror Controls Co., Ltd., a customer of many years’ standing. As we take a tour of the manufacturing facility, Mr. Zhu draws our attention to a number of Wörner stoppers that have been in operation at MCi for more than ten years. We ask the technical manager, how easy it is to obtain spare parts. His face betrays his surprise at the question. His response: “Spare parts? We have never needed any.”

It is a situation we often encounter: Because quality and quality assurance are the bedrock of our lasting success.

Customers who choose Wörner components are consciously choosing reliable, low-maintenance and highly durable products. Products that offer dependable operation and precision. And it is a choice that makes sound business sense.

Our manufacturing processes are certified to ISO 9001 and environmental protection standard ISO 14001. Each and every part is made in Germany and tested prior to shipment.

We remain totally committed to these principles.
