Our manufacturing expertise
Drive elements / metal-plastic hybrid
Plastic-metal composite technology is an innovative drive solution of our time. We make effective use of the properties of metal and plastic, which are two very different materials.
- Production and functional design of steel shafts
- Production automation
- Positioning and alignment of the shafts in the tool
- Design of the spider geometry
- Attachment of QR codes for tracking purposes
Our manufacturing expertise
Insert technology
The production of technical plastic housings with integrated conductor tracks is one of our strengths, as is the manufacture of high-precision plastic gear wheels with overmolded metal shafts.
- Punching and bending technology
- Positioning and sealing in the tool
- Design of the gating
- Production automation
- Product-specific testing technologies (e.g. fully automatic through-hole testing)
Our manufacturing expertise
Glass-plastic hybrid
Our manufacturing expertise in the field of glass-plastic hybrids enables the precise overmolding of coated glass, resulting in innovative and high-quality components.
- Overmolding of coated glass
- Function integration
- Production automation
- Positioning and sealing in the mold incl.
- tolerance compensation
- Design of the gating
Our know-how in toolmaking
In-house toolmaking
- In-house design
- Consistent CAD-CAM from development to the machine
- In-house precision toolmaking and maintenance
- Die-sinking and wire erosion, HSC and HPC milling
- Production of high-precision tools up to max. 2 tons
- Contract manufacturing of individual parts, small series and prototypes
Tools correctly designed to meet the requirements of the product and process parameters specially adapted to the material and product part ensure trouble-free and therefore economical and quality-conscious production.
