OUR PERFORMANCE PROCESS

Once we know all the important factors and understand what your desired product must be able to deliver, we can really accomplish something for you. With our decades of experience with solutions for different sectors and their respective applications, we can present you with concepts to meet your requirements. Concepts that provide a perfect commercial as well as a technical fit.

Are you enthused by our ideas? If so, then you should check out our quotations: we are always good for an attractive total price – we combine a high level of automation with low material prices, achieved through skilful purchasing, and this enables us to provide you with attractively priced quotations for your parts. Put us to the test!

The durability you wish a part to have is a benchmark in our design process for parameters such as tolerances, material thicknesses, the materials used and the way they are processed. Our designers apply their wealth of experience to the parameters you name in the selection of named properties for your desired part. Our engineers provide support for new products across all stages of a project, from the production of prototypes right through to batch production.

What is the use of a part designed to meet functional and quality standards perfectly if it cannot be manufactured economically? At the design stage, we pay careful attention to ensuring that the use of materials and the cost of production are as economical as possible, to keep a firm check on quality and costs in equal measure.

The engineering team at the Vosseler Group develops and designs highly-capable processes and forming tools suitable for the batch production of your product or module, all capable of satisfying the most demanding of requirements. Supported by an FEM program that determines and defines the individual stages of the forming process. The required forming and machining tools, the necessary automation equipment and the inspection tooling needed are all devised by our design team using CAD software and are produced in our ultra-modern and well-equipped toolmaking shop.

To achieve excellent production results, you need to have excellent tools. Right from the outset, our toolmaking operation is founded upon quality. We only use materials for stamps, dies and other forming components that have convinced us of their quality standard. You see, tools that wear quickly are an obstacle to rapid production. We also focus on ultimate precision when machining materials, because secondary processing to achieve optimum dimensional integrity costs time and money.

Forming tools for cold and hot extrusion come in a vast array of different forms. Depending on the finished part you wish to obtain, forming processes can be combined to achieve shorter unit production times. For a single tool to combine many different aspects depends upon the expertise and precision involved in the implementation process – a capability that we actively work to achieve in our tool design and toolmaking operations.

Solid forming, used in conjunction with pressing, provides an immense variety of production processes, and is also extremely economical. The continuous further development of processes, materials and materials technology makes solid forming an ever more significant branch in this sector. The growing trend towards lightweight construction is also favourable to solid forming.

The Vosseler Group processes wire with diameters of between 6 mm and 36 mm. Unalloyed cold heading and cold-forged steels are used (C4C, C8C, …), as are case-hardened steels (16MnCr5, 23B4, …), tempering steels (C35EC, C45EC, …) as well as certain aluminium alloys suitable for cold forging (e.g. EN AW-6082).

Nor does our expertise only extend to forming operations. We are highly skilled at milling, turning and grinding, all to deliver that final quantum of precision to your part. We can process steel parts or wire material with diameters of up to 36 mm, as well as aluminium with diameters of up to 40 mm.

For this, we use the following quality grades:

• unalloyed cold heading and cold-forged steels in acc. with EN 10263: e.g. C4C, C8C, C10C;
• case-hardened steels in accordance with EN 10084/EN10263: e.g. 16MnCr5, 20MnB4, 20NiCrMo2, 23MnB4, 41CR4;
• unalloyed and alloyed tempering steels in acc. with EN10084/EN10263: e.g. 35B2, 45B2, C35EC, C45EC, 25CrMo4;
• free machining steels in acc. with DIN EN 10087: e.g. 11SMn30, 9SMn28;
• stainless steels in acc. with DIN EN 10088: e.g. X6CrNiMoTi-12-2 (1.4571), X3CrNiCu 18-9-4 (1.4567);
• aluminium alloys: e.g. EN AW-6082 (AlMgSi1).

Speak to us if you need any other materials.

As you would expect, our production capabilities extend beyond simple metal-working. If needed, we can also provide the requisite forms of heat treatment and surface refinement. This assures great durability, ideal physical properties and, if you wish so, the right look for your parts.

We can do more than produce parts: if you would like to have turnkey modules, we are also happy to handle the assembly and installation for you. Reliably assembled and function-tested, with all desired properties and delivered on schedule to your production station.

We view your satisfaction as a customer as our central objective. This is why we dedicate particular attention to intensive quality management. In compliance with legislative parameters and currently applicable standards, we ensure within an economically reasonable framework that our business is able to achieve optimum results at every stage of the manufacture of a product. We do not leave this to chance, instead employing modern software together with measuring and inspection technology to stay on top of quality, and to be able to prove that at any time.

Our quality management system at the Aldingen site works in accordance with the guidelines of IATF 16949:2016 / EN ISO9001:2015 and is correspondingly certified to SGS and GUTcert standards. At our Hildburghausen site, Vosseler Umformtechnik GmbH has introduced a quality management system that complies with EN ISO 9001 and IATF 16949.

Part ready but not on location with you when you need it to be? Not with us. We assume responsibility for the on-time delivery of your parts or modules, preassembled and packaged in such a way that you can further process or assemble them within the shortest possible timescale. Just name your desired parameters to us. We shall then ensure that your wishes are fulfilled – worldwide.
