CERAMIC AND PLASTIC PARTS Ready-to-use surfaces for demanding workpieces Technical workpieces made from ceramic or plastic materials are becoming more and more common. Because ceramic materials are very hard and therefore resistant to wear and since there are many types of demanding plastic materials, this area of application requires a great deal of experience and [...]
Toolmaking The quality of stamping, forming and cutting tools can be improved considerably by finishing the workpieces in DF and SF machines from OTEC. Defined edge rounding dramatically increases the life of cutting tools, as a rule by a factor of three. The OTEC process not only rounds the edges but also smooths the surfaces [...]
MEDICAL DEVICES AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY Consistency and cost-efficiency you can rely on With 25 years of experience in mass finishing, OTEC is proud to provide custom processes for the unique requirements of the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Our well-established machine designs ensure rapid, cost-efficient surface processing in consistently high quality. Be it deburring, grinding, smoothing or [...]
Food Industry Food processing systems: automated surface smoothing for components Cast, milled and turned machine components for food production have rough surfaces and sharp, unhoned edges. This not only leaves products prone to food residues and micro-organisms as well as contamination by small fragments from unstable component edges, but also results in high levels of [...]
Aerospace Industry As tough as it gets for Surface requirements Highly efficient, ultrareliable engineering is just one of the challenges the aerospace industry rises to on a regular basis, which is why manufacturers expect their components and production processes to meet such stringent requirements. By 2050, Europe’s ACARE alliance aims to cut carbon dioxide by [...]
Automotive Industry In the automotive industry and in motor racing, friction-optimized surfaces in the engine and drivetrain reduce friction and wear. Smoothed and isotropic surface structures reduce CO2 emissions and increase the service life of components. The use of increasingly lower viscosity oils presents huge challenges for the component surfaces. Even supposedly easy processing tasks such [...]
STREAM FINISHING UNITS - SF Prisma Loading System The SF Prisma Loading System series offers deburring, rounding and smoothing in a single processing stage, in a very short time and without detriment to the contours of the workpiece. In the SF-PLS (Prisma Loading System) proven OTEC processes meet simple automation. Only the processing task must [...]
