Frequently Asked Questions
We start with a short questionnaire covering the key technical details. From there, we check which size from our modular system fits best and whether suitable components already exist. Based on that, we develop an initial design proposal, which we review with you before providing a quote.
We also produce single units. Whether a custom solution makes sense in your specific case always depends on the overall project.
Yes — for series production, first samples and pilot runs are a standard step before full production begins. For project-based work, we coordinate this individually with you.
Development and manufacturing take place in Germany, to our established quality standards. Our US team handles sales and technical support locally.
It depends on the scope: if the application is already familiar to us, development can be ready within a few days. For completely new requirements with more coordination needed, it can take a few weeks.
