Full-ser­vice for inno­va­tive parts

Our broad mecha­ni­cal machi­ning capa­bi­li­ties and manu­fac­tu­ring pro­ces­ses also enable us to offer you machined and finis­hed com­pon­ents with the hig­hest qua­lity stan­dards in both small and large series.

The range of pos­si­ble com­bi­na­ti­ons of our own resin for­mu­la­ti­ons and sub­stra­tes gua­ran­tees that we can offer exactly the mate­rial that pro­mi­ses the best results in your app­li­ca­tion.

Howe­ver, our excel­lent mate­ri­als sci­ence and state-of-the-art equip­ment enable us not only to manu­fac­ture semi-finis­hed pro­ducts, but also to offer ready-to-use and fully tes­ted com­pon­ents as a full service.

Our machi­ning methods

Our machinery and post-pro­ces­sing faci­li­ties pro­duce com­plex com­pon­ents for you. As a com­po­site mate­rial deve­lo­per, we have a large num­ber of mea­su­ring methods that exceed mar­ket stan­dards — a gua­ran­tee for the best qua­lity. Our ser­vices form a modu­lar sys­tem from which you can select exactly the pro­ces­ses that will per­fect your component.

We are happy to dis­cuss manu­fac­tu­ring tole­ran­ces with you and help you deve­lop your com­pon­ents as well as define qua­lity and tole­rance requi­re­ments for your application.

Pro­to­typ­ing

We sup­port you right from the start of the pro­ject through pro­to­typ­ing to series pro­duc­tion. In the pro­cess, we can use 3D prin­ting tech­no­logy to create pro­to­ty­pes for the mecha­ni­cal fit in your assem­bly. In par­al­lel, our experts advise you on selec­ting the right mate­rial from our wide range of com­po­site mate­ri­als or co-deve­lop a tailor-made solu­tion with you. Once the com­po­nent design and mate­rial choices have been made, we pro­duce pro­to­ty­pes for you in small bat­ches. We can test these directly in our labo­ra­to­ries to ensure that they meet your spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons or deli­ver them directly to you.

Engi­nee­ring, design and plan­ning with CAD/CAM

Our «Engi­nee­ring & Sche­du­ling» depart­ment pro­grams com­plex com­pon­ents using CAD/CAM and then simu­la­tes manu­fac­tu­ring pro­ces­ses to deter­mine exact run times. Our experts check your CAD-models and can even sup­port you in app­li­ca­tion-ori­en­ted part optimization.

Our iMa­chi­ning pro­cess allows to manu­fac­ture your com­pon­ents quickly and with effi­ci­ent cycles, while incre­a­sing the qua­lity of the finis­hed com­pon­ents through par­ti­cu­larly gentle hand­ling of the mate­rial. Digi­tal setup plans as well as stan­dar­di­zed para­me­ters and work sequen­ces ensure 100 % repro­du­ci­bi­lity of your components.

Slot wedge machining

We can machine slot wed­ges in a wide variety of shapes in our modern slot wedge mills. Our wed­ges can be manu­fac­tu­red with a mate­rial thic­kness of down to 1 mm without com­pro­mi­sing on strength. The key are our own com­po­site mate­ri­als which allow a suf­fi­ci­ent num­ber of glass fab­ric lay­ers even at low mate­rial thicknesses.

Tubes and rods

Our exten­sive man­drel park for the pro­duc­tion of round tubes enab­les the win­ding of tubes with inner dia­me­ters ran­ging from 2.3 to 540 mm and lengths up to 2200 mm. Through com­pres­sion mol­ding, we can also offer chan­nels and solid bars and rods in various geo­me­tries. This also inclu­des multi-com­po­nent parts.

In our machine shop,…

In our saw­mills, pla­tes, tubes, rods and pro­files can be auto­ma­ti­cally cut to your spe­ci­fied dimen­si­ons. Through our large selec­tion of com­po­site mate­ri­als, you can allow your ima­gi­na­tion a free rein.

On various grin­ding machi­nes, ent­ire she­ets or indi­vi­dual cut pie­ces can be ground to a tightly tole­ran­ced and uni­form thic­kness. The final sur­face rough­ness can be adjus­ted to your needs via the grit size of the abrasive.

Wet grin­ding machi­nes, such as the Elb gan­try­Line, enable a high-qua­lity grin­ding result in a one-piece workflow.

Our machine park inclu­des mul­ti­ple mil­ling machi­nes. Among them are, for example, modern and brand-lea­ding 5‑axis simul­ta­ne­ous CNC machi­ning cen­ters, such as the DMU 85 monoBlock.

With our par­ti­cu­larly gentle iMa­chi­ning pro­cess, com­pon­ents of the hig­hest qua­lity can be crea­ted with short machi­ning times.

We also machine spe­cial com­pon­ents with ease. Our machi­nes allow us to create both strai­ght and heli­cal gears. We draw in the key­way for a fea­ther key accord­ing to your requirements.

We have nume­rous CNC lathes, which are cha­rac­te­ri­zed by large clam­ping dia­me­ters of up to 1200 mm and multi-axis machi­ning. The multi-axis tech­no­logy enab­les us to manu­fac­ture even com­plex com­pon­ents in a short time and with the hig­hest pre­cision. Auto­ma­tic tool exchange and dri­ven tools are stan­dard and ensure the best qua­lity in series production.

We apply a metric or impe­rial thread to rect­an­gu­lar as well as round bars — both right-han­ded and left-handed.

From simple sealing to sophisti­ca­ted electri­cal coa­tings, our experts can help you enhance your com­pon­ents with coa­tings, paints, and finishes.

Tag­ging and labeling

To faci­li­tate com­po­nent use and fur­ther pro­ces­sing, we can mark the finis­hed com­pon­ents with model iden­ti­fi­ca­tion infor­ma­tion or simi­lar by means of adhe­sive labels, ther­mal trans­fer prin­ting or laser marking.

Fur­ther­more, we can stamp your com­pon­ents accord­ing to avia­tion stan­dards with a spe­cial ink to achieve a long-las­ting and gentle marking.

Tes­ting and measurements

State-of-the-art mea­su­ring and tes­ting equip­ment gua­ran­tees the com­pli­ance with spe­cial requi­re­ments in deman­ding industries.

Star­ting with 2D and 3D coor­di­nate mea­su­ring tech­no­logy directly in the machi­ning cen­ter, we can per­form auto­ma­ted qua­lity con­trol of your components.

Fur­ther­more, out­side the machi­ning equip­ment, we can put your com­po­nent through its paces in a cli­mate-con­trol­led environment.
