Engineering and Design

Engineering Enclosure Technology – Development of Injection-Moulded and Die-Cast Enclosures

Experience shows that many companies focus on the electronics during development while neglecting the enclosure as the packaging for these components. However, unexpected costs can arise later during the development of injection-moulded or die-cast enclosures, ultimately increasing the product cost. We recommend addressing the integration of electronics and display elements at an early stage.

Moreover, tooling production is expensive; therefore, components must be optimally designed to minimise the need for tool changes. We have the expertise and facilities to develop such parts using injection moulding and die casting processes. Close collaboration between development, rapid prototyping, tool-making, and series production is essential for fast, cost-effective, and successful implementation.

Engineering Shop Floor Solutions to Increase Productivity

Increasing Productivity and Reducing Lead Times
We are driven to boost productivity and shorten lead times for our customers. As a manufacturing company that has been optimising and digitising its own production in line with LEAN principles for years, we understand the challenges you face.

Tailored Production Process
Leveraging our expertise, we develop solutions that enhance your production process. We begin with a comprehensive process analysis that guarantees improved productivity. Our approaches include LEAN live workshops, material handling via transport robots, LEAN assembly workbenches supported by pick-by-light and collaborative robots, and the implementation of paperless orders and monthly instructions.

Custom Assembly Workbenches
Our workbench solutions are individually designed and built to meet your product’s specific production requirements.

Engineering Profil Technology – Unlock the Possibilities with Aluminium Profile Systems

We support our customers in the design and selection of aluminium profiles. Whether you have a finished CAD design or just a sketch, we work together to identify optimisation potential and reduce costs.

Our technicians can visit your site to record requirements and dimensions, or you can send the information via email. Our designers then develop a final solution in CAD that complies with standards such as DIN EN ISO 14120 and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

Once you have reviewed and approved the design, we produce production drawings and parts lists for third-party components, surface elements, or adapter plates.
