This is how we solve it

A machine builder sells his equipment all over the world and was not looking for a machining company but for a partner able to handle the whole route: making the parts, buying in the rest, assembling and preparing for shipment.

We produce the precision parts, buy in the parts we do not make ourselves, assemble the whole and test it. We carry out the electrical final test together with a specialised partner. After that we design the packaging and ship the complete unit, up to and including installation on site at the end customer.

The customer has one point of contact instead of a string of suppliers, and receives a tested unit instead of boxes of parts. The cooperation has been running for years now.

For the aircraft industry, parts had to be held and moved during assembly and transport. The tooling had to be strong enough to carry the weight, but was not allowed to damage the product itself at any point.

We machined the frames in aluminium and steel and the supports that touch the product in engineering plastic, so that metal never comes into contact with the product. All made in house, anodised or painted through our regular partners, and then assembled here into a working whole.

Tooling that protects the product instead of threatening it, delivered from a single source. Exactly the kind of assembly for which a customer would otherwise need two suppliers: a machining company for the metal and a second one for the plastic.

An international supplier of marine and energy installations orders spare parts in small quantities, but continuously: bushes, plugs, sealing rings and sleeves. Planning every order separately means setting up again every time, and therefore the same waiting time over and over.

We keep the data of every item on file digitally, including the fixture and the program, so that a repeat order starts without any discussion. For the most requested items we look at a call-off agreement together: we produce ahead in one run, you call off when you need it.

A shorter lead time on repeat work and fewer separate orders to administer. The number of items we make for this customer has been growing for years.

During an overhaul of industrial cylinders the original drawings turned out to be out of date. The installation was at a standstill and all that lay on the table was a worn part.

We measured the existing part and made a complete drawing package with a 3D model from it. We then machined the new parts, with the finishing through our regular partners, and supplied the drawings with them so that the customer has them from now on.

The installation could run again, and next time the same job no longer starts from scratch.

A customer needed a fixture to hold products during assembly. Having it milled in metal was expensive for something nobody knew the right shape of yet.

We first designed the fixture and printed it in plastic, so that it could be tested in practice. After two adjustments the shape was right. The load-bearing part was then milled, the rest stayed printed.

A working fixture for a fraction of the cost of three milled trial versions, and a design that was right straight away when it went into metal. We use this route for our own workholding fixtures as well.
