Metal processing

Investments that are specifically designed for small series are hardly worthwhile for any machinist. Production must take place on universal machines. We have the right machines and supplementary automation for tools, pallets and workpieces. Combined with our manufacturing concept and the associated processes, we are agile, flexible and efficient enough to manufacture with high precision, even on a small scale.

For example, we carry out time-consuming work preparations and set-up times during non-productive times. This means that we can react quickly to flexible call-offs.

Production with depth

Many things will be easier for you if your machinist either carries out all production steps or organizes them centrally. Planning, processes, coordination, short-term adjustments and transportation are all better integrated.

We turn, mill and grind your components. If you also require surface finishing or assembly to create a ready-to-install solution, we have long-standing suppliers at our side. The result: exemplary quality in terms of components, costs, delivery and deadlines. This is only possible with a versatile partner like WASSERMANN, who can guarantee you a high level of vertical integration and a broad network.

The special degree of automation at WASSERMANN ensures that quality-critical processes run exactly identically at all times and in every shift. We are equipped to standardize quality even for small quantities.

This allows us to rule out contamination and additionally ensure precision and value. We record all QA results and document everything important about the components and assemblies. Our logistics are also well organized. Your parts arrive in production on time with just-in-time call-offs.

In the rare event that your components and our automation prove to be incompatible, one of our experts will personally take care of your order. At the machine or at the production center. Quite conventionally. And yet with outstanding execution.

Perfectly organized with a guidance system

When processes are automated, someone still has to wear the hat. This job is done by our control system. It coordinates tool, workpiece and pallet automation, provides the necessary CNC programs and ensures interaction with the machines. We automatically produce small batches of finely manufactured components in unmanned shifts. Exactly what you need for your machines and systems.

Small series have their pitfalls. The best remedy: experience. We have a lot of it and know what is important for small series.

• Anticipate challenges – unexpected hurdles almost always arise with small series; we are prepared for them and always find a solution
• Reliably into the new series – small series leave little room for running-in, so we take precautions to ensure a quick start
• Industry knowledge facilitates coordination – we work for many industries and know the special features; this also makes us efficient for small series
• Small series are also safe – if you know the processes and know that “manufacturing” can be of high quality, but is also prone to errors
• Proven standards even for small series – we manufacture in industrial setups, whether large or small series
• The solution to the cost issue – small series mean high non-productive times for set-up, programming, measuring programs or devices; we cannot achieve cost miracles, but at least something similar, because we know the adjusting screws

Much of what makes WASSERMANN what it is today was prepared and implemented many years ago. Because we act with foresight and give things time, WASSERMANN has been able to grow from a small company to a stable medium-sized enterprise.

Some key points of our career summarized:

• Founded in 1969 as HPI by Helmut Wassermann
• Founder had his own engineering office and industrial agency, representing gearbox manufacturers, foundries, frequency converters, etc.
• Demand for products increased, so we set up our own production facility
• Introduction of the then new CNC technology as early as 1976
• 1980 Step into vacuum production, including system production
• 1985 Development and production of the first control cams
• 1999 Start of tool automation with tool changers developed and manufactured in-house

The constant at WASSERMANN has always been technological progress. With us, you develop at the cutting edge.
