We help to bring YOUR ideas to life.
Welding distortion simulation
Are you struggling with distortion in your components during the welding process? We are a leader in welding distortion simulation, i.e. minimising and predicting welding distortion. Make use of the various possibilities offered by the software developed in-house by us and our expertise in finite element modelling.
Material flow simulation
Do you deal with complex material flows in your production? We safeguard your planning specifications early on, using our flexible SIMPRO simulation system. Our experts analyse existing or planned real environments, carry out simulations for different scenarios and derive recommendations from the results for necessary steps to optimise production.
Production route planning
Is the supply of material in your production less than ideal and difficult to plan? Using the software for route optimisation , developed by us in-house, allows you to optimise material flows at your facility within a short space of time and can produce significant time, input and energy savings. We have calculated a reduction of logistical expenses by up to 50%.
Energy analysis of production facilities
Do your production facilities consume large quantities of energy, and are you looking for ways to save energy? We have experience in the analysis of energy use in production facilities and can find potential savings using our software. We can deliver predictions on the use of your future production facilities.
High-tech bonding applications
Are you wondering if adhesives can be applied as universal joint methods with sealing properties at the same time, and if they are appropriate for you? We have experience with high-tech bonding applications under extreme conditions in vehicle manufacturing and have customised test setups, which can be used to develop your specific bonding procedures and for the adhesion of components in micro-production runs as a pre-production series.
Characterisation of surface topologies
Would you like to specify the surface quality of your components? We have high-performance measurement systems and our own, tested processes to characterise surface topologies. Our testing facilities can be configured for your specifications in order to test components in a micro-series.
Comparative examination of joining processes
Would you like to know which joining processes are appropriate for your particular applications? We assess the characteristics of different joining technologies (MSG welding, spot welding, bonding, mechanical joining, hybrid processes) with a broad range of testing procedures (quasi-static adhesion characteristics, vibration resistance with and without corrosion effects, shakers, metallography and corrosion). In addition, our simulation software can suggest potential synergies by simulating these processes.
Feasibility testing with laser ultrasound
Are you looking for a non-destructive testing method for the automated detection of defects in your components? Our instrument engineering is unique in Europe, which allows us to carry out feasibility tests using laser ultrasound. These innovative procedures work without impact or destruction and reduce your manual testing inputs to a minimum.
Non-destructive testing of components using thermography
Do you need to test the joints of your components with non-destructive methods? We have experts in the use of thermography techniques, who can offer solutions specific to your requirements, from feasibility studies through to industrial-strength automated systems for non-destructive testing.
Independent development of solutions for testing problems
Do you have a special testing problem and are looking for a solution? We identify appropriate procedures for you, and develop solutions for your testing needs. In many applications, including the dressing of grinding wheels to engine components or the testing of solder joints, we have developed particular expertise in the automotive industry.
Futur research
Are you thinking about the future of your technologies, your products or your company? Use our methodological and technical expertise for the design and realisation of scenario processes and future workshops across the whole spectrum of issues in the automotive industry.
Creativity workshops
Do you need support in the quest for outstanding ideas? Organise creative workshops under our guidance and benefit from our experience in the preparation of workshops and the application of different creativity methods.
