Technology at METUSAN TURNING

When processing non-ferrous metals, we rely on an extensive machine park.

This allows us to manufacture both simple and complex components – economically and in any batch size.

We are always keen to integrate and utilise the latest technologies in our manufacturing.

Turning Technology

Precision turned parts at the most advanced level

With over 80 single and multi-spindle lathes, we produce sophisticated turned and turned-milled parts efficiently, economically, and with consistently high quality. We process bar stock in a wide variety of designs – including round, tube, square, hexagonal, octagonal, and flat profiles, as well as other special profiles. Production is flexible, catering to all batch sizes – from prototypes to large series.

We manufacture high-precision components with tolerances in the range of hundredths of a millimetre on state-of-the-art CNC machines. This technology enables maximum repeat accuracy, process stability and complex geometries.

For efficient mass production of large quantities, we employ high-performance multi-spindle machines, including six and eight-spindle machines. This allows us to achieve high output volumes with consistent quality and an optimal cost structure. We produce components with tighter tolerances and in large series using proven cam technology, which is considered the „Formula 1“ of turning technology.

Milling Technology

Robot-assisted machining centres

In our 3- and 5-axis machining centres with automated robotic loading, we primarily manufacture geometrically complex components. Workpieces that cannot be completely produced in a single operation on automatic lathes are machined here precisely and with process reliability. The loading and unloading of the machines are fully automated by robots. This ensures consistent quality, high repeatability, and efficient and economical series production.

Larger and more complex components are generally manufactured in machining centres with robotic loading. Parts that cannot be fully produced on a bar turning machine in a single operation are also usually completed here.

The parts are fed and removed by robots.

Mechanical Manufacturing Technology

Robot cells for downstream manufacturing steps

Our automated robotic cells take on central tasks in downstream processes, ensuring stable operations, consistent quality, and high efficiency.

Copper pipes are precisely machined and shaped on pipe cutting and bending machines. Assemblies can be reliably joined in brazing stations.

Furthermore, METUSAN TURNING is developing its own manufacturing facilities for the targeted post-processing of turned and milled parts. These include, among others, indexing rotary tables and specially designed drilling and milling equipment. These individual solutions enable the economical implementation of even complex machining steps.

For the production of stamped and deep-drawn sheet metal parts, powerful eccentric, stamping, and deep-drawing presses are used. This allows us to cover a wide range of parts and ensure efficient series production with high repeatability.

Manufacturing Technology

Precision begins in toolmaking

In our toolmaking department, we design and produce custom contour, drilling, and turning tools for cost-effective series production. We use highly precise eroding machines with a C-axis, on which contour drills can also be eroded under rotation. If required, the tools are finished in our grinding shop, which is equipped with surface, cylindrical, and tool grinding machines.

As one of the few manufacturing companies, we are able to produce complex 3D drum cams for our cam-controlled multi-spindle automatic lathes in-house. These are manufactured on a 5-axis CNC milling machine based on cutting data from production, using CAD/CAM support. Additionally, our tool manufacturing department supports maintenance through the design and production of spare machine parts. Depending on the requirements, these are produced on CNC lathes and milling machines or using additive manufacturing (3D printing).

To ensure our future skilled labour requirements, we train apprentices annually as metal technicians in the field of metal and machining technology within our toolmaking department.

Glow plug technology

Heat treatment in a belt furnace

Our belt furnace enables continuous heat treatment under controlled conditions, thereby guaranteeing consistently high quality and efficiency. It is ideal for series production and ensures uniform heating and cooling of components that require precise thermal treatment.

Thanks to adjustable temperature zones and controlled furnace atmosphere, our system ensures optimal hardness, strength, and durability for a wide variety of metal components and assemblies.

Technical specifications:

  • Temperature range: 400–500 °C
  • Length of glow section: 2 m

Cleaning plant technology

Fully automatic continuous cleaning systems

All products undergo two state-of-the-art cleaning facilities with enclosed vacuum chamber systems.

The entire cleaning process is fully automated, ensuring reproducible results at a consistently high level of cleanliness.
Individually tailored cleaning programmes ensure reliable degreasing and the complete removal of chips and particles.
This allows the components to meet the highest requirements for technical cleanliness.

Following this, the parts are individually packaged or assembled into bags, placed in boxes, and palletised.

Benefits at a glance

  • Fully automatic cleaning in closed vacuum chamber systems
  • Two powerful systems for high process safety
  • Residue-free degreasing and chip removal through program-optimised cleaning

This is how we ensure that your products are not only precisely manufactured but also delivered in perfect condition.

Technology assemblies assembly

Assembly – function emerges from individual parts

Functional assemblies are created from precisely manufactured individual components through assembly processes – tailored to your technical and quality requirements.
Depending on the component geometry and joining process, specially designed assembly equipment is used. This includes, among others, manual presses, positioning devices, and individually adapted assembly aids. These ensure safe joining, precise alignment, and high repeat accuracy in series production.

The result is ready-to-assemble assemblies with defined functionality, which can be seamlessly and reliably integrated into your downstream production and final assembly processes.

High-bay warehouse technology

Fully automated high-bay warehouse & cantilever rack storage for maximum material availability

We rely on two powerful warehouse systems for fast, flexible, and cost-effective order processing: a fully automated high-bay warehouse for finished parts and a cantilever rack warehouse for over 200 tonnes of raw material.

High bay warehouse for finished parts

Order-specific packaged parts are stored and retrieved according to demand.

With around 1,500 pallet spaces, the system offers generous capacities for customer-specific components and enables economically optimised production batches.

This reduces set-up times, lowers unit costs and ensures flexible call-off logistics.

Bulk storage rack

Our cantilever racking ensures high material availability and allows us to quickly retrieve raw materials at any time.

This immediate access allows us to be particularly responsive when customers require short-notice changes, express orders, or tight delivery windows.

The result: maximum flexibility, short lead times and consistently high delivery performance.

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Fast and reliable delivery capability
  • „Just-in-Time“ dispatch to customer's specification
  • Reduced capital commitment
  • Optimised production and warehousing strategy for framework agreements
  • High material availability thanks to a 250-tonne raw material warehouse
  • Flexibility for short-term customer requirements

This is how we connect economic series production with maximum delivery flexibility – for stable, predictable, and efficient processes throughout your entire supply chain.
