Our expertise in of mechanical construction.
Everything from a single source – we develop products and components tailored to your wishes and needs.
As part of our comprehensive, ISO 9001-certified development process – from the initial concept to series production – we offer you the development of individual parts, assemblies and complete devices. In the process, we work closely with our hardware development team and also offer prototype and pilot series construction through to series production.
We are active in the Industrial Automation, Process Automation, Mobile Automation, Logistics Automation, Lab Automation, Medical Engineering, Energy & Drives, Railway and Avionic & Defence sectors.
One of our core competencies is the development and design of equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Explosion-proof devices
We take care of the design and development of explosion-proof devices for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in accordance with ATEX, UL, CSA and IECEx.
Types of explosion protection in mechanical system:
-
Flameproof enclosure (Ex-d) -
Increased safety (Ex-e) -
Dust-protected housing (Ex-t) -
Encapsulation (Ex-m)
Protection against environmental influences.
With our many years of experience, we offer reliable protection for your equipment under extreme conditions. These conditions include:
- Moisture and spray water: Protection according to IPX0 – IPX9K and NEMA 4 – 6X
- Dust protection: Protection against dust and particles in devices according to IP0X – IP6X
- Vibration and shock resistance: Resistance to vibrations and mechanical shocks
- Impact resistance: Robust construction that withstands shocks and impacts
- Temperature protection: Functionality at extreme temperatures (heating and cooling concepts)
- Corrosion protection: Material selection and surface treatment
Simulation & tools.
For precise and efficient product development, we rely on leading CAD tools and simulation software that enable detailed modelling and reliable analysis.
CAD-Tools
- Creo Parametric
- SolidWorks
Simulations-Tools
- Creo Simulation Live (real-time analysis)
- SolidWorks FEM tool (structural and thermal analysis)
Mechanical simulation
- Effect of pressure, force or displacement
- Results: Stresses in the material and possible deformations
- Objective: Avoidance of unnecessary development loops and cost savings through early error detection and optimisation.
Thermal simulation
- Heat conduction, convection and flow simulation
- Objective: Optimisation of components from the first sample onwards to maximise thermal efficiency and cooling performance.
Working in the customer system
- You provide hardware, licences and VPN.
- We work as part of your team directly on your system.
- Low effort for data exchange: We provide CAD files in exchange format and all relevant documents in native file format
