What we do

One partner. From raw stock to a measured assembly.

We machine, weld, paint, assemble and measure in our own halls and manage subcontracted processes. For you that means one partner responsible for the whole delivery.

5-axis CNC machining

Hermle, Hedelius and MTE with travels up to 3,000 × 1,800 × 2,000 mm. Steel, stainless, aluminium, plastics and special materials – contoured parts to hundredths of a millimetre.

Waterjet cutting

Flow Mach 4 with Dynamic Waterjet XD head: five axes, ±60° bevel, 4 × 2 m table, over 6,000 bar. No heat-affected zone, no distortion.

Weldments and fixtures

Frames, stands and welding fixtures including machining of functional surfaces after welding. Weldment geometry is verified with a laser tracker.

Assemblies and stations

Assembly and screwing stations, rotary tables, conveyor technology, part nests and part storage. Mechanical assembly, pneumatics, hydraulics and electrical installation – delivered assembled and set up.

Surface and heat treatment

Our own paint shop. Galvanising, nickel plating, anodising, blackening, hardening and nitriding at qualified partners – under our responsibility.

CAD/CAM and process planning

Parametric modelling, CAM programming for 3–5 axes and production engineering. We prepare manufacturing data from drawings and 3D models, even when documentation is incomplete.

Leica AT960 measurement service

Measurement of parts, fixtures and assemblies with the laser tracker and T-Probe up to 30 m – at our site or right in your hall, with a measurement report. Offered as a stand-alone service, including provision of the equipment on request.

Plant service

Modification and repair of fixtures after SOP, replacement fixtures, rework and on-site measurement – for maintenance and tooling departments of plants within reach of Litovel.

Core competence

Welding fixtures and assembly stations for the automotive industry

From the welded frame through machining of functional surfaces and clamping technology to pneumatics and set-up. Every fixture leaves us measured on the Leica AT960, marked to your factory standard and with a measurement report.

Quality

Measured before the part leaves the hall.

Every part passes a 100% final inspection with a signed checklist. Toleranced parts and weldments leave us with a report from the Leica AT960 laser tracker.

100% final inspection

A checklist signed by the inspector travels with every delivery.

Measurement report

For toleranced parts and weldments. On request sent before dispatch for release by your quality department.

Marking to your standard

Part number and revision CNC-engraved or dot-peen marked, legible even after painting.

Metrology

Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 + T-Probe

The laser tracker car makers use on their own lines – in our hall, and as a service at your site. Probing, scanning and reflector measurement with six degrees of freedom, right on the shop floor.

For plants and maintenance

After start of production, we are still here.

The integrator leaves after SOP, the plant needs a partner within reach. Fixture modifications, replacement fixtures, repairs and on-site measurement are offered as a stand-alone service – for plants in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany and Austria.

Fixture modifications after SOP

When the part or the cycle changes, we adapt the fixture: new stops and clamps, re-machining of functional surfaces, new locators. On request including removal and installation at the plant.

Replacement and duplicate fixtures

Rebuilt to your documentation or from a laser-tracker survey of the existing fixture. Same geometry, new paint, measurement report.

On-site measurement

Leica AT960 with T-Probe and a measuring volume of up to 30 m: fixtures, frames and line components right in your hall – at launch, after a collision or after a rebuild. With report.

Repair and rework

Repair of damaged fixtures and frames, replacement of worn parts, repainting in our own paint shop. Short distances, short reaction times.

About us

A quarter century in an industry that forgives no mistakes.

Founded in 2000 in Litovel near Olomouc. Today more than 50 people and over 5,000 m² of production space in two halls: in-house machining, welding, paint shop and metrology. We work mainly for German and Austrian builders of automotive lines, robot cells and machines – and we speak German with them.
