Materials engineering
Schunk offers leading material technologies for almost limitless possibilities
Our core competencies
Sometimes it starts with just a vague idea for material substitution. Sometimes it's the need to push the limits of performance. It could be the need to find new answers to complex challenges for thermal, mechanical or power transmission applications. The reasons why our customers choose to walk the same paths with Schunk as a development partner are as diverse as their ideas. What they have in common is trust in our solutions.
We make good ideas into even better solutions
An ever-shorter time to market, coupled with higher process and system security, requires rethinking of the development strategy and cooperation with customers. Our spectrum of technologies includes sound material know-how and expertise in carbon, ceramics, quartz and sinter metals, material property engineering for the fine-tuning of material properties, state-of-the-art forming technologies and a comprehensive spectrum of surface treatments.
Reaching the goal faster and with perfection
Just like a toolbox, experience with established technologies in our four areas of expertise can be quickly and precisely transferred into new developments and customer-specific solutions. We call it PAVE: Process Added Value Engineering. It makes us a pioneering development partner for the automotive industry and rail technology, propulsion technology and the pump industry and everything from process heating and energy management to the semiconductor industry. You'll profit from innovativeness, customer-focused working and efficient introduction to serial production.
