New technologies and capacities
Expanded possibilities through automation and new production lines
Investment casting is one of the most precise and flexible manufacturing processes when it comes to small metal parts with complex geometries. Thanks to high dimensional accuracy, fine surfaces and the ability to produce even the most intricate shapes economically, the process is ideal for demanding applications in many industries. In addition, the wide selection of metallic materials and alloys offers a variety of options for meeting the specific requirements of precision components.
We have already reported on the great design freedom in the lost wax process to combine individual components into one. Find out more here.
In order to further strengthen the advantages of the investment casting process, we are constantly developing the process further and have been able to expand our capacities with new production lines, further automation and new technologies.
Production network with vision
More capacity through flixibility
Not every component fits on every production line - especially when it comes to high-precision, complex geometries. For this reason, we deliberately rely on a network of several specialized production sites. Each location has the specific know-how and technical equipment to optimally meet certain requirements. This targeted specialization enables us to implement individual customer requirements precisely and efficiently and to schedule orders flexibly on the production lines.
The result: flexible production planning and a 30% increase in our production capacity.
Robots in operation
Automation for consistently high quality
In investment casting production, every detail counts - especially when it comes to repeatable work steps such as slipping the wax models. This is why we rely specifically on robot technology: automated coating ensures uniform layer thicknesses, reproducible results and consistently high surface quality.
In addition to increased efficiency, our customers benefit above all from a high level of process reliability - regardless of external influences or manual fluctuations. The robots work precisely, around the clock and with consistent reliability. A clear advantage in terms of reproducibility and process reliability.
Modern production facilities
Fast throughput times in production
With our new, high-performance wax injection machines, we are opening up new possibilities in investment casting production. The machines are designed for larger molds and can accommodate several cavities simultaneously - ideal for the efficient production of larger quantities or components with many variants.
The result: shorter cycle times, less changeover work and significantly faster order processing. This efficiency gain is particularly noticeable in series production and recurring components.
Our further development - your advantages
- Flexible production network with specialized locations for needs-based planning and increased production capacities by 30%.
- Automated processes, such as robot-assisted slip coating, to increase efficiency and ensure consistently high quality and improved reproducibility.
- New technologies in wax spraying machines that can accommodate multiple cavities, enabling faster throughput times and greater efficiency in production.
