  Thermal shock test bed
  In relation to the manufacture of parts that require heat treatment, we offer you a wide range of heat treatment processes:
  Regarding the production of parts which require surface treatment, we have the following solutions for you:
  Matt-chromium plating
  Soft-chromium plating
  Tuflok coating
  Deburring after machining is a very important process step. Chips or burrs often have a profound impact on the reliable operation of your parts. In order to prevent this, we use state-of-the-art deburring technology so that you can receive burr-free parts on request. In connection with the production of parts that require deburring, we offer you a variety of deburring techniques:
  With the help of our climate temperature system TSS-70/130 we are able to expose materials to controlled thermal fluctuations and thus to age the material. The fluctuations between -80 ° C and + 200 ° C can be controlled in a very precise manner.
  We have clean rooms of ISO 7 Class.
  You would like to outsource not only the complete assembly, but also the logistics of the purchased parts or the performance of functional tests? No problem - we take care of it for you.
  Of course, you will only receive clean parts from us that you can use or process immediately. No matter what washing instructions you have, we can implement them. Currently we use washing plants on hydrocarbon, PER and ultrasonic basis.
  When packaging, we orientate ourselves to your wishes. We ensure that your parts arrive safely and undamaged.
  Assembly & Fixture Construction
  With us, you get exactly the service package you require – we assemble your components and assemblies. In order to comply with your high quality standards, we work as standard in a controlled assembly room. In addition, we have hydraulic test benches, presses with up to 150 kN force, as well as modern electropolishing machines. And for fragile parts, we use ultrasonic cleaning.
  In order to be able to react even more flexibly to your wishes, we offer you our own fixture construction. Since many of our competitors cannot provide this, you have the advantage of having everything from one source -no need to look for another supplier in order to meet your quality requirements.
  Precisely in this area we support you highly efficiently. We provide you with measurement services on favourable terms and with outstanding quality. Learn more about our Measurement Technology.
  We guarantee you the highest quality, naturally, certified, too.
  With our Electrox FlexXYZ equipment, we can accurately laser mark, etch or engrave not only large work pieces but also batches of smaller components.
