We are already exploring the wide range of possible applications together and focusing on key aspects such as safety, efficiency, and flexibility. Take advantage of optimized processes and straightforward brownfield rationalizations that enhance the efficiency of existing production facilities. Create the future of series production with Schaeffler Special Machinery.
Automation and innovation in medical technology
The automation of medical technology requires extensive know-how for the manufacture of products of the highest quality in compliance with special medical quality standards and norms. Experience the outstanding reliability of our smart solutions.
Special Machinery offers solutions for the following product areas
Joint Replacements: We develop and implement manufacturing solutions for high-quality medical implants to support and restore joint functions. Our systems combine the handling of a wide range of materials, from metals to biological materials, and offer solutions for complex manufacturing processes in clean room environments.
Instruments: Our systems for the production of medical instruments, such as surgical tools and dialysis cartridges, guarantee the highest quality standards. Our extensive measuring and testing capacities help us to maintain the necessary precision and reliability in instrument production.
Medical Devices: Our solutions for medical devices, including imaging procedures such as X-ray and MRI equipment, offer flexible production solutions from manual workstations to fully automated systems. We support the manufacture of components used in these critical devices.
Wearables: In the mass production of wearable medical technology, our solutions enable fast and cost-efficient production with shortened cycle times, covering everything from assembly and testing to handling.
New possibilities through multi-material additive manufacturing in medical technology
Additive manufacturing is already an integral part of the industry alongside traditional manufacturing processes. Our AM experts at Special Machinery are working on the development of applications, especially for medical technology products. The use of titanium in combination with other metals or ceramics is an approach that can create new ways of individualized, cost-efficient production for implants, for example.
This is made possible by our OmniFusion 3D. A system for additive manufacturing with simultaneous use of up to 3 different materials. The materials can be placed on the building platform pixel by pixel and three-dimensional geometries can be created from material combinations.
Discover solutions for the automotive and e-mobility, industrial and consumer business areas too
Our many years of experience in stable series production make us a reliable partner for the high-volume production of various vehicle components. In particular, we impress with our in-depth understanding of processes for the manufacture of products in the areas of e-drives and battery production, high-performance testing systems and high-speed handling solutions.
Schaeffler Special Machinery is your one-stop store for production solutions, such as power tools. Our global network combines a broad technology know-how and drives developments such as the A2A welding technology, which will reduce production costs in the future. In combination with modular and scalable assembly and testing concepts, we support the competitiveness of our customers.
At Special Machinery, we transfer modern production processes from the automotive sector to industrial applications. For example, we develop systems for the production of powerful but compact electric motors using the continuous wave winding process, for use in the smallest applications such as generators and pumps, or energy-efficient agricultural and construction machinery.
