Plastic machining

Pump housing made of PP | Application: Pumping of special media

In addition to the production of sealing elements, one of our core competencies in plastics technology is the manufacture of customer-specific plastic parts from a wide range of materials. Our machining production is optimized to exclusively process plastics. Within our production there are the following three main areas:

Our services in plastic machining

Turned parts from plastic

Turned parts made of plastic are manufactured on CNC machines that have been specially modified for plastic processing. This enables us to meet the demands for tight tolerances, repeatability and surface quality. In this production area, we manufacture the smallest components from a few millimeters up to turned parts with several meters in diameter, from batch sizes of 1 up to large series. Thanks to flexible production planning and a large stock of semi-finished products, we achieve short delivery times.

Milled parts from plastic

In this area, we process plastic sheets on three-axis portal milling machines up to 2×2 meters or simultaneously produce the most complex milled parts from sheets, tubes and solid bars on 5-axis machining centers.

In the production of plastic milled parts, it is essential to clamp the components without force in order to be able to guarantee dimensional accuracy. Due to our specialization in plastics processing without compromise, we have also adapted our milling machines perfectly to the conditions and modified them as necessary.

Turn-mill parts from plastic

Here we combine all available technologies and manufacture every conceivable geometry on multi-function machining centers.

The combination of the various work steps avoids reclamping of the component, which in turn reduces costs and increases accuracy. Through large, automated tool magazines, we reduce set-up times and create optimal repeatability.

Development

Already during the development of a component made of plastic, the influence on the price and quality as well as the process reliability is the greatest. Our development can support you in designing and constructing the optimal component for your application.

Take advantage of our many years of experience and our special know-how. Whether it is the selection of the material, the manufacturing process or the material-specific tolerancing, we will support you.

Quality assurance

We carry out quality assurance during production and through final inspections of each order. In the case of customer-specific requirements for the inspection and documentation of certain criteria, we are optimally equipped and can respond to our customers’ wishes.

We also work in this area with the most modern testing equipment in air-conditioned rooms and measure tactilely or optically with automated test programmes.

Manufacturing

We have specialised in processing only plastics on our machining centres. With this strategy, we can optimally design our manufacturing capabilities and do not have to make any compromises.

We use special tools, clamping devices and fixtures that have been developed exclusively for plastics processing, mainly by us. Due to the optimal equipment, we guarantee short reaction times in the highest quality at low costs.

Logistics and shipping

In the logistics area, we focus on traceability by completely digitising the processes. Every delivery that leaves our premises is 100% traceable, and we can identify the batch delivered with the date of manufacture at any time.

Each item is scanned upon removal and dispatch and automatically provided with a label on which all information is made available. Customised labels are also possible so that repackaging is unnecessary for our customers.
