Society Guy Neyret (GNSA)
Lyon, France
Founded in 1987, GNSA specializes in the design and build of customized indexing machines for the assembly and testing of high volume and/or highly complex multi-component products. All of our machines include either indexing rings (our standard technology) or linear indexing conveyors. These machines normally combine electric manipulators together with a wide range of our own mechanical cam manipulators. These special cam manipulators, which can provide up to 6-axes of motion, have been recently cataloged in an extensive design library and are the technology for which GNSA is best known (NEYRET Cam Machines). Initially driven by the automotive industry, GNSA’s success eventually spread to all sectors including significant growth in the medical industry, after the company integrated required FDA validation protocols in 2010.
