Our expertise in the field of mechanical design.
Everything from a single source - we develop products and components customised to your wishes and requirements.
As part of our holistic, ISO 9001-certified development process - from the initial concept idea through to series production - we offer you the development of individual parts, assemblies and complete devices. We work closely with our hardware development department and also offer the construction of prototypes and pilot series 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 competences is the development and construction of devices designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Explosion-proof devices
We can design and develop explosion-proof devices for you for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in accordance with ATEX, UL, CSA and IECEx.
Types of protection in the 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 devices under extreme conditions. These are:
- Moisture & splash water: Protection according to IPX0 - IPX9K and NEMA 4 - 6X
- Dust protection: Protection against dust and particles in devices according to IP0X - IP6X
- Vibration & shock resistance: Resistance to vibrations and mechanical shocks
- Impact resistance: Robust design 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
- Impact of pressure, force, or displacement
- Results: Stress in the material and possible deformations
- Goal: Avoid unnecessary development loops and save costs through early error detection and optimization.
Thermal simulation
- Heat conduction, convection, and flow simulation
- Objective: Optimization of components from the first prototype onwards to maximize thermal efficiency and cooling performance.
Working in the customer system
- You provide hardware, licenses, and VPN
- We work directly on your system as part of your team
- Minimal effort for data exchange: We deliver CAD files in exchange format and all relevant documents in native file format
