About Isochronic

Isochronic AG is a Swiss robotics company headquartered in Denges, revolutionizing pick-and-place robotics through simultaneous part transfer technology. Founded in 2020, the company has raised approximately CHF2 million in funding and grown to 15 experts combining over 200 years of experience in high-speed robotics, software, algorithm, and mechanical design. Their innovation centers on proprietary robot kinematics enabling simultaneous parts transfers—described as a fundamental paradigm shift protected by multiple patent families. Unlike traditional robots that move sequentially with empty-handed return strokes, Isochronic systems use multiple independent pick-heads on linear rails with proprietary control algorithms, enabling parallel transport and significantly boosting efficiency. Products include the iSort series (3015, 4020, 6025, 8025) designed for laser automation and material handling in sheet-metal processing and laser-cutting applications. Key benefits include increased productivity and flexibility, reduced production floorspace requirements, lower energy consumption through reduced moving masses, and modular standardized components for easy integration. The company launched their revolutionary technology publicly at AUTOMATICA 2022 in Germany and won the European Robotics Forum Renault Champion Entrepreneurship Award 2024. Heavy-duty laser-automation solutions are already operating in industrial production environments, while small-parts technology undergoes industrialization for broader market applications. Led by CEO Melvin Haas, Isochronic is transforming how manufacturing facilities approach pick-and-place operations by eliminating the inefficiencies inherent in sequential robotic movement patterns.
