Metal Flat and Shaped Parts.

We specialize in manufacturing precision light metal parts starting from a thickness of 0.015 mm. The photoetching process (also known as photochemical etching and photochemical milling) allows us to produce complex metal components with tight tolerances that cannot be duplicated by other manufacturing methods. We etch many metals such as copper alloys, beryllium copper, stainless steels, aluminum, nickel and nickel alloys, silver, and spring steels.

Photoetching offers the flexibility to produce prototype quantities and large production runs while maintaining tight tolerances without the high tooling costs and long lead times.

Shaped parts are produced by combining photoetching, which is used for stamping, with cost-effective or universal tools used for forming. Heat treatment is possible to improve spring qualities.

Forming and Finishing

Our production facilities include a coating and mechanical finishing system. This includes gold, nickel, chemical nickel, copper, tin, and tin-lead coatings, as well as reflow soldering with hot oil. Electropolishing, surface polishing, and tumbling are part of the final finishing. Our manufacturing capabilities also allow for selective coatings.

Our capabilities set industry standards for the production of encoders, masks, filters, solderable metallic lead carriers, battery grids, flat springs, strain gauges, lamellae, chip carriers, step covers, fuel cell plates, heat sinks, shutter blades, electron grids, and much more.

Laser Cutting

Our laser processing offers additional capabilities and better tolerance control for thicker materials. A 2.5 kW CO2 pulsed laser can cut a variety of materials in different thicknesses and is especially suitable for prototype applications. With the high-peak pulse function, we can cut all metals, including reflective metals such as copper, brass, and aluminum, without slag.

By combining laser cutting with etching and forming, we can produce thick parts with grooves or pockets that only partially extend through the material.
