Process and product development work together very closely at schlaeger. The first prototype is manufactured based on the draft design provided by product development. Each process step is replicated with manual devices, e.g. winding, welding, bending and stamping. We use this experience to derive the processes for the later series production and the specifications for tools and molds.

What we can do for you:

• Design engineering and test setups (mechanical and electrical)
• Process window determination
• Transfer to standardized series stations
• Scalable automation levels from proven system partners
• Project engineering for large-scale production systems
• Safe Launch: safe transition to series production with more stringent testing of parts and the manufacturing process

schlaeger works together with long-standing partners in the development of systems and machines. We take over project management for our customers and coordinate everything with all participants throughout the entire process. These partnerships are very advantageous, especially in the production of subsequent generations. We think in variants from the outset, and plan the processes accordingly.
