Custom design & automation
solutions
Automating a workstation, adding a function, upgrading a machine: SIGEA designs and builds custom mechatronic systems that are simple and reliable. We also offer our own range of standard mechatronic blocks: easy to integrate, they shorten lead times and help you keep your equipment running for the long term.
● Your projects
Projects on your scale
Automate an operation
Design a production, inspection or assembly workstation.
Modify a machine
Add a function to existing equipment.
Upgrade a system
Replace an assembly that has become inaccurate, fragile or impossible to source.
Develop a product
A specific sub-assembly or tool, from prototype to small batch.
From a single axis to a complete workstation: the same standards.
● Our expertise
Design. Build. Automate.
Three ways to work together, depending on your needs.
01 Our mechatronic blocks
Drives, control, motion. Designed to work together, ready to be integrated into your machines.
02 → Custom development
A gripper, an actuator, a specific module you can’t find off the shelf? We design it for you, ready to be replicated and standardised across your equipment.
03 → Complete machines and workstations
We combine our blocks, the sub-assemblies developed for you and the best off-the-shelf components into a complete machine or workstation. Proven solutions, controlled lead times, a consistent system from end to end.

● Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our answers
What is a SIGEA mechatronic block?
It is a self-contained sub-assembly combining mechanics, electronics and software: a motor, an axis, a control cabinet… Designed to work together, our blocks combine into complete systems, driven by our own controller, which can then communicate with your equipment via Ethernet or Modbus.
Do you install the system on site?
Our systems are delivered ready to use. If you wish, on-site installation can be carried out by one of our partners.
Do you offer training?
Every system is delivered with its documentation. Training for your teams is also available on request.
Are your systems CE marked?
Yes. Our complete machines are supplied with an EC declaration of conformity. Our blocks, designed to be integrated, are supplied as partly completed machinery with a declaration of incorporation.
Do you charge for quotations?
No. The study of your needs and the quotation are free of charge.
What are your lead times?
5 weeks for our standard blocks, complete and assembled, and 1 week for standard spare parts. For a custom project, the lead time is stated in the quotation.
