Our manufacturing processes briefly explained
With us, you get the entire value chain from the extrusion of the semi-finished product to the finished products and their assembly from a single source.
Regardless of whether you want to have an individual finished part or a whole series produced – our promises for quality, budget compliance and timely delivery remain the same! From individual parts to complete assemblies, you will receive finished parts that you can use immediately.
Our team of experienced technicians and advisors know exactly what process will be suited best to your purposes, quantities and the required material. You can find an initial overview of our manufacturing processes here:

TURNING AND MILLING WITH PRECISION
Machining enables a quality finished part to be created from plastic quickly and economically. We create challenging finished parts – from individual parts through to complete assemblies – with our in-house machining.
The latest multi-axis and lathe machining centres are used for this, skilfully operated by our experienced workers. From tool preparation through the programming and on to completion and quality checking, complex finished parts are created for a great variety of industries and applications.

Measurements Additional Information x=5.000mm, y=2.700mm, z=950mm 32-fold tool change, robotic head FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM QUANTITIES
With small and medium series, thermoforming is also a suitable alternative to the injection moulding process. Thermoforming is distinguished by low tooling costs and is particularly economical with individual pieces and with small to medium series.
Thermoforming parts are ideal for presentations, functional tests, but also for direct use as end products. We can deliver the raw material or the finished part, with mechanical reworking if desired.
4-axis turning machine
Measurements Additional Information upto Ø 450mm, length upto 600mm 24-fold tool change, double-turret (synchronous operation) spindle opening Ø 100mm, length upto 750mm (hollow spindle) 24-fold tool change, double-turret (synchronous operation) upto Ø 450m, length upto 1.250mm 24-fold tool change, double-turret (synchronous operation) spindle opening Ø 100mm (Hohlspindel) 24-fold tool change, double-turret (synchronous operation) upto Ø 450mm, length upto 600mm 24-fold tool change, double-turret (synchronous operation) spindle opening Ø 70mm 24-fold tool change, double-turret (synchronous operation) 5-axis turning machine
Measurements upto Ø 350mm, length upto 700mm spindle opening Ø 60mm upto Ø 250mm, length upto 1.000mm spindle opening Ø 70mm , Y-axis +/-50mm upto Ø 250mm, length upto 1.000mm spindle opening Ø 70mm , Y-axis +/-50mm Conventional
Measurements upto Ø 500mm upto Ø 300mm PRE-ASSEMBLED OR AS A FINISHED PART
For stamped parts (e.g. seals and insulators) and folded parts (e.g. covers), we can deliver the appropriate raw material made from technical plastic: Pre-assembled as film from the roll, as sheets or if preferred as finished parts.
Band saw
Measurements width upto 630mm, height 7 – 250mm Panel cutting saw (CNC controlled)
Measurements cutting height upto 130 mm cutting length upto 4.300 mm depth upto 3.000 mm Sawing robot
Measurements upto Ø 420 mm, automatic feed Circular saw
Measurements height upto 140mm; saw blade diameter of 450mm
PRODUCE SERIES ECONOMICALLY
With our in-house expertise and our external partners, we can manufacture precision finished parts for you using injection moulding. The process is ideal for functionally capable small-series components for end-use and is particularly economical from 250 parts and upwards.
Wide belt sander
Measurements width upto 1.350mm Vacuum planer
Measurements width upto 630mm Thickness planer
Measurements width upto 610mm, height 4 – 300mm Planer
Measurements width upto 610mm, height 7 – 250mm FROM PROTOTYPES THROUGH TO SMALL SERIES
We like to use the vacuum casting process for manufacturing robust prototypes or small numbers of parts. We can also manufacture the master model, required for creating the casting mould, for this ourselves by means of 3D printing or with our in-house machining.
