Forming technology
Our versatile and high-performance range of machines includes over forty multiple-die, drawing and fine-stamping presses and automatic stamping/punching machines operating at between 600 kN and 12,000 kN.
Preventive maintenance and ongoing modernisation of equipment are essential to ensure that production is carried out in an efficient manner that meets modern quality standards.
Together with university departments and our partners in the machine construction industry, we constantly strive to perfect our forming processes.
Connection technology
PWO has built up considerable expertise in the welding, soldering, riveting and pressure joining technology that is used to process individual parts into sub-assemblies or into components that are ready for installation. For joining aluminium or stainless steel, we make particular use of special processes that include automatic laser and arc welding and automatic soldering technology.
The production of complex chassis sub-assemblies such as air suspension structures/accumulators involves the use of state-of-the-art bonding technologies.
Assembly technology
The process of assembling components can be very demanding and requires carefully thought-out solutions. Drawing on years of experience in assembly technology, PWO designs its own systems and develops them in collaboration with partners in the plant and machine engineering industry. The main focus here is on achieving a balance between automation and flexibility.
Surface technology
We work closely with several highly qualified partners in the area of surface finishing. A number of our latest machines are dedicated to degreasing, barrel finishing and hardening.
Testing technology
In addition to a range of measuring and instrumentation systems, we employ our own optoelectronic procedures to test the quality and performance of our manufacturing processes. Video cameras equipped with comprehensive analytical software have replaced the 100% visible checks carried out by the human eye.
