Plant construction, precision parts & CNC contract manufacturing

Precision in plant engineering & CNC contract manufacturing

When it comes to ​​plant construction and CNC contract manufacturing, we offer our customers in collaboration with our subsidiary Rathgeber GmbH the production of entire plants, assemblies and small series as well as precision and spare parts in almost all sizes and variants. Rathgeber has decades of experience and customer relations in this area, which is why this business unit is also mainly managed by Rathgeber.

At Schweiger tooling GmbH, large components and assemblies are manufactured in particular.

In addition to the machining of large sizes, the machinery also allows the production of small series and precision parts in the area of eroding, wire cutting, deep hole drilling and milling including 3D milling. CNC turning and CNC grinding are mainly carried out at Rathgeber at the Innsbruck/Tyrol location.

Our Technology Areas
in Detail

CAD Engineering

In addition to mold design for complex injection molding tools, our design department also supports plant engineering and CNC contract manufacturing as needed. Within the scope of our business partnerships, we provide tailored support for the development and drafting of systems, cold pressing molds, or other assemblies and components.

Turnin

Turning is one of our core competencies and is performed in multiple shifts using state-of-the-art DMG machining centers. We are also happy to machine hard metal using turning processes.

Our machinery covers a wide range of dimensions - up to 380 mm in diameter on CNC machines and up to 450 mm manually.

Drilling (Deep Hole Drilling)

We offer deep hole drilling services for workpieces with dimensions up to 2,700 x 2,700 x 1,600 mm, ensuring precision and efficiency even in demanding applications.

Milling

In the field of advanced CNC milling, our automated milling centers operate in multiple shifts to handle complex 3D and 5-axis machining tasks. We are capable of processing parts up to a size of 2,700 x 2,700 x 1,600 mm.

Upon request, we also machine hard metal as part of our milling services. For more information about the materials we typically work with, please refer to the corresponding section.

Grinding (Cylindrical / Surface / Profile Grinding)

Our dedicated grinding department is equipped to handle the following size ranges with precision:

Cylindrical Grinding:
manuellworking range Ø380 mm / distance between centers 650 – 1,500 mm / center height 200

Surface Grinding:
Up to 2,200 x 1,240 x 630 mm

Profile Grinding:
Up to 500 x 300 x 150 mm

We also machine hard metal in all grinding processes.

Wire EDM / Wire Cutting (including Hole Drilling EDM)

EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is one of our core competencies. Our EDM department is equipped with 5 wire cutting machines as well as a hole drilling EDM machine, covering the following size ranges:

Wire EDM / Wire Cutting:
Up to 1,250 x 1,020 x 305 mm workpiece size

Hole Drilling EDM:
Up to 950 x 600 x 500 mm workpiece size

Sinker EDM (including Electrode Manufacturing)

Sinker EDM, alongside wire EDM, is one of our core competencies and an essential prerequisite for premium mold making in plastic injection molding.

Of course, we also have the in-house expertise to manufacture complex electrodes with precision.

We cover the following size ranges:

Sinker EDM:

2.000 x 1.180 x 800 mm

Electrode Manufacturing:

885 x 600 x 600 mm

Polishing

Experience-driven polishing is also an integral part of our daily operations. We perform finishing work both on special components and on electrodes for complex geometries that push the limits of manufacturability.

Assembly

In our assembly department, highly skilled toolmakers work on complex premium injection molds from our mold making division, as well as on the assembly of assemblies and modules for our customers in plant engineering and precision parts manufacturing.

The assembly team often works closely with the polishing department to achieve the desired surface treatment on the components.

Laser Welding

We perform laser welding using a mobile laser welding system (250 watts). This allows us to carry out repairs and modifications on components in-house in a straightforward and time-efficient manner.

In addition, the system is also used for welding work on components at the Innsbruck site.

Part Making

Many of our customers value having their components or modules professionally and oil-resistant marked or engraved, so that, if needed, part numbers and other information can be easily read without a parts list or CAD drawing.

With our marking laser at the Innsbruck site, labels, symbols, and other types of markings can be engraved or lasered onto various materials.

The marking area is 330 x 330 x 42 mm.

Measurement / Quality Assurance

Our measurement room forms an integral part of our ISO-certified quality management system. The measurement team has access to both tactile and optical measuring machines in a fully climate-controlled environment.

For our key clients in the high-precision parts manufacturing sector of the high-tech industry, we closely align by ideally using the same measuring machines and programs to eliminate any possibility of measurement discrepancies.

Additionally, we are capable of internally managing and providing essential aspects of a controlled quality management system. Examples include PPAP, FMEA, and CPK analyses.

At our Innsbruck and Uffing sites, we are able to process the following materials

  • Aluminium
  • Chromium-nickel based alloys
  • Molybdenum-Alloys

  • Stainless Steel
  • Steel / hardened Steels
  • Hard Metals (carbides)
  • Inconel
  • Invar
  • Plastics
  • Copper
  • Brass
  • Tantalum
  • Titanium / Titanium Alloys
  • As well as other specialized materials subject to confidentiality agreements

Our Industries

With our expertise across all technological fields of advanced metalworking, we support numerous industries in the following sectors:

Machine and Plant Engineering

In the field of machine and plant engineering, we supply our customers with a broad range of precision components and assemblies made from various materials.

Our portfolio includes assemblies for the production of woodworking and grinding machines, as well as parts for filling systems. The punches and dies we manufacture for stamping and forming technology also serve as examples of our capabilities in machine and plant engineering.

Of course, we integrate the appropriate surface treatment processes - such as anodizing, coating, electro-polishing, chemical nickel plating, and blackening - into the manufacturing of components as required.
