Machine and tool making
Innovation is in our DNA
By having a tight collaboration with machine suppliers and internal development of equipment we can ensure that we are in the forefront of technology. We continuously work to improve safety and make our process more environmentally friendly. In-house tool-making for both dies and rollers ensure that we keep improving our forming technology and can support customer projects.
Next generation hardening
Over the past two years, we have developed a new hardening technology and implemented and tested it at our factory in Suzhou, China. This new equipment enables us to deliver improved quality and more customized hardened wire. Moreover, it significantly reduces the environmental impact of the manufacturing process and enhances the working environment for our employees.
Our capabilities
Advanced microscopy capabilities
We offer advanced microscopy capabilities, including two Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) with SE, BSE, and EDS detectors, Vickers hardness testers, surface roughness measurement tools, 3D optical microscopy, and various metal/stereo microscopes with imaging software.
Material preparation and evaluation
For material preparation and evaluation, the lab features cutting and mounting equipment, as well as both automatic and manual grinding and polishing machines. Specialized equipment is available to simulate heat treatments used in wire manufacturing processes.
Extensive testing capacity
Fatigue testing capacity is extensive, with 30 Nakamura machines and over 50 spring fatigue test machines. These are complemented by spring coiling, load testing, and shot peening equipment to replicate real production conditions. Corrosion testing is supported by climate chambers and other equipment that provide valuable insights into durability and long-term performance.
