TECHNOLOGY

In almost all technical areas castings are more than ever the main components withstanding highest loads. An average car has more than 100 castings, some of which at locations where parts made in other processes could not fullfill the technical demands to reasonable cost, such as cylinder blocks, pistons, transmission cases, steering knuckles, brake discs etc.

Todays castings are HighTech solutions of specific customer demands. Only this way complex geometry, that cannot be produced in any other process; or only with extraordinary cost.

With our possibility of composite casting we can follow almost any contour of part with cast in cooling or heating tubes. Material for these tubes is mainly stainless steel, so no inner corrosion or magnetic side effects are a problem.

Except safety tools all castings are machined inhouse, so no customer has the risk of any hidden defects. This way we can guarantee 100 % quality supply on time. Wherever needed castings are leak tested after machining prior delivery.

Parts of easier geometry, mainly for welding gun arms and shanks we produced by cold forming.

In combination with welding (e.g. ribs and guides) and soldering (e.g. current and water connectors) more complex parts are possible. This way it is possible also to manufacture different materials into one component.

Due to our own heat treatment facility we can also cold form copper materials of higher strength, such as CuCoBe (2.1285), which by conventional bending would be damaged.

Since almost 40 years we gained experience in the two step heat treatment of copper parts. This enables us the customised adjustment of material properties on every part. Three furnances with peak temperature of 1.3000C are available.

After intensive R & D work we can now offer safe welding connections of even very thick copper parts. Especially for 1 off parts a welded solution might be more cost efficient than a casting or machining off block.

Hard soldering with special silver solder gives high quality, leak tight connections with good electrical conductivity.

All welds and solder connections with media contact are leak tested prior to customer delivery (dunk test).

On special demand of our customers we also do pre- or full assembly of parts. We can either produce accessories by ourselves or get them supplied from customer per order.

This way the final user of the component gets a plug and play solution, especially interesting for spare parts . Also inner cooling tubes can be assembled to guarantee 100% functionality.
