Application development
Application development
You have a special joining challenge? We make it happen! We investigate, develop and evaluate suitable applications. Together with our customers we choose the best solution, focusing on sustainable productivity and quality. We drive the application until it is ready for series production, provide start-up support, and reduce your time to quality.

Process development
Process development
From part measurement to the actual application trough to quality assurance – we develop a holistic joining process for you. Using workshops with customers and suppliers as well as test trials and simulation, we make sure that the process exactly fits your requirements and enable reliable and productive manufacturing.

Joint quality analysis
Joint quality analysis
In our joint analysis labs, we use metallography and microscopy, and do comprehensive tensile testing using different load directions with shear, peel and cross tension tests. This is especially important when developing safety-critical joints for vehicles.

Material testing
Material testing
Materials, adhesives, rivets and fasteners – a joint is a complex interaction between multiple players. We make sure that you have a perfect fit. In our material tests, we work out the right joining element, equipment, configuration and parameters to get the best out of your application.

Pilot production
Pilot production
With prototyping and pilot production, we offer the unique opportunity to install and program the entire system and run the newly developed application in reasonable quantities before going into actual production. This minimizes start-up efforts and reduces risks of the production start.
