When developing new solutions, we like to work together. As part of a pilot project with ZEISS, we are the first company in the world to work with a new high-precision coordinate measuring machine. With ZEISS PRISMO fortis, we were able to drastically reduce the measurement times for turbine blades – without any loss of measuring accuracy.

Precision and productivity alone are not enough for Seyer Industries; the components must also always be produced with consistent repeat accuracy. The Heckert and Starrag machining centres, on which the medium-sized family business from the USA manufactures complex structural components from hard materials such as titanium, have these characteristics.

The Tech Center in Immendingen developed the Fingerprint Online software, which uses measurement technology to analyse the condition of Bumotec machining centres in just a few minutes, and helps to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and quality. If errors occur in the actual production process or unclear damage situations arise, these must be analysed as quickly as possible.

The quality requirements of medical technology are also extremely high, as even the smallest deviations can have serious consequences in this sector. The Tornos division, Starrag’s new merger partner, also has a good reputation in the medical technology sector. From the outset, Bioscience Medical, a manufacturer of high-end implants and prostheses, chose Tornos as its sole partner for the production of pins, screws and plates. Thanks to this long-standing partnership with its machine supplier, Bioscience Medical is able to constantly develop innovative products and optimise its production processes.

I hope this brief insight into some of our highlights has piqued your curiosity about these items as well as others. Enjoy reading – and I hope it inspires you!
