• Water jet cutting

  The water jet cutting is a separate , where water is used under high pressure to cut through various materials. The water jet cutting is regarded as a particularly environmentally friendly, economical and material-friendly separation process. Depending on the material to be separated, pure water or water with an abrasive addition is optionally used in water jet cutting. While pure water is suitable for cutting soft materials such as plastics, foams, films and paper, an abrasive water jet is required for separating steel, ceramics or glass. The water jet cutting has proven itself primarily in the cutting of composites and is applied across the industry due to its extensive advantages.

• Wire bending

  The wire bending is one of the transforming and is used in the metalworking industry for the production of wire bending parts for machine and plant construction, the electrical industry and many other industries. According to the standard DIN 8580, the wire bending of the group of bending deformation is to be attributed. The method can in principle be applied to all metallic wires and is nowadays frequently taken over by automated CNC machines. The product spectrum is diverse and ranges from wire spirals to wire handles and springs to welded wire bending parts.

• Worm gear

  A worm gear is a screw-rolling gear which transfers the rotational movement of a cylindrical shaft to a rotating gear which is offset by 90°. Snail transmissions allow a particularly high transmission to narrow space and are therefore outstandingly suitable for demanding space conditions. Snail gears work highly precise, are very powerful and in addition are able to reliably compensate for axial offsets. For this reason, the low-noise and insensitive transmissions are used worldwide in demanding applications such as conveyor systems, extrusion machines, separation machines or profile machining machines.
