Know-how in Processes, Manufacturing Technologies and Product Design
Seamless and cost-effective mass production hinges on proper preparation. Our comprehensive expertise in processes, manufacturing technologies and product design lays the foundation for cost-effective and reliable mass production.
STIWA Product & Process Engineering acts as a development partner and strategic service provider. We contribute our many years of experience in automation-ready product design and technology integration. This enables us to minimise risks from the outset and create optimal conditions for cost-effective, high-quality, stable, high-performance automation.
New and further development
of products
Modern products often require new manufacturing processes in production. With a simultaneous development of products and their manufacturing processes, STIWA creates the optimal conditions for efficient and secure production of future mass products.
The parallel development of mechanics, software and electronics is a core competence of our development department.
Process Optimization
Modern manufacturing processes require different processes. STIWA researches, develops and improves processes from their basic principles to their application in high-performance automation.
The correct and coordinated selection of necessary processes (laser welding, image processing, joining, gluing, etc.) results in high-quality and at the same time cost-effective products.
Materials testing
Whether you want to evaluate a heat treatment or coating process, need support in clarifying a case of damage or are planning component sampling - STIWA is a capable partner for materials testing in the areas of materialography, mechanical testing, surface testing and damage analysis. With many years of experience in the extensive range of materials used in special machine construction - from copper and plastic to hard metal - we carry out both individual tests and extensive test series for you - tailored to your testing requirements.
