Measuring and Testing ensure quality and are prerequisites for the precise setting of products. From product development to series production to failure tests, our task-specific measurement and testing technology solutions enable:

• Product and quality assessment
• Setting each individual product to the target values
• Closure of control loops
• Completion of I4.0 solutions and big data analyses

We offer a variety of measurement and testing processes in different technologies and systems as customized facilities, studies and services:

• Electrical testing & characterization
• Measurement data acquisition
• Leakage, gas & pneumatic testing

With our innovative imaging solutions, we add optical intelligence to production and, in addition to efficient assembly management and optimum process control, also enable maximum transparency in inspection decisions. We supplement classic image processing methods with artificial intelligence algorithms.

• Optical inspection
• Tracking
• Process control

The material properties essentially determine the wear behavior of components. The knowledge of the influence of hardness, strength, surface structure, and stress condition of the components is therefore fundamental in production.

For example, special, tailor-made manufacturing processes can be used to introduce residual compressive stresses into component surfaces or to change the surface hardness locally.

• Ultrasonic welding
• Dispensing & gluing
• Tightening & screwing
• Pressing
• Soldering
• Hot staking
• Bonding

Surfaces mean protection: protection against corrosion and wear, against excessively high or low temperatures, against acids, cleaning agents and much more. This protection increases quality and durability. But coatings can do even more: with the right mix of materials, they increase the functionality and performance of products. And they also improve efficiency and aesthetics thanks to optical upgrades and a pleasant feel.
