Felss world at a glance
Overview
Alphabet of benefits
m F η t μ: The Felss Group’s Shortcut Technologies allow you to produce components lighter, stronger, faster, more precise and with better resource efficiency.
Low unit price is only one measure of performance in modern production – and not the most significant by far. How reliable is the process chain? What resources can be saved simply by optimizing component design? And what role do quality, precision and durability play? At Felss we don’t settle for the seemingly cheapest solution, but work continuously to develop new Shortcut Technologies. This results in tangible benefits for the customer, as the examples in our ‘Alphabet of benefits’ show.
Tube forming: Form follows function
Whether metal or plastic – with Felss Shortcut Technologies tubes and cables can be manufactured resource-efficiently and with maximum strength.
Do you have to transmit media such as fuels, liquids and gases under very high pressure? Do you need to implement complex geometries while still achieving economical, resource-efficient and precision production? If so, Felss is the company for you: Whether diesel or common rail lines, whether steel or plastic – as a tube forming specialist, Felss is a specialist in the sophisticated development of the appropriate technologies, machines and components.
Axial forming: precision in profile
‘Recursive axial forming’ – sounds complicated, but makes things easy for customers. This technology, patented by the Felss Group, allows splines and other profiles to be manufactured with greatest precision. Whether drive shaft, axle journal or transmission shaft, whether solid component or thin-walled tube, internal or external splines – the modular Aximus system can be flexibly configured and retrofitted, and guarantees flexible production processes.
Services: Aspiring to the best solution
Our Services division offers much more than conventional customer service. We support you from the development phase through project management
The Felss Services division is the all-rounder in the group: Training, maintenance and repair, service contracts and standby service are all routine elements of the reliable well-coordinated service team. But what makes Felss Services unique is the role it plays in engineering: From machine & component design and tool-making to the Tool Management System, Felss Services brings together the entire group’s know-how for you.
Make and Buy: Process chains à la carte
Felss is a global business. It produces machines, interlinked systems and components at six locations – in Germany, China, the US and Switzerland.
Component manufacturing: Quality guaranteed
Worldwide, Felss Rotaform manufactures the most sophisticated components for you to the highest quality and precision, regardless of whether you want 20,000 or 6 million.
Backed by the cumulative expertise of the Felss Group and manufacturing facilities in Europe, the US and China – Felss Rotaform is the ideal local production partner for Felss customers. The specialist for cold forming supports you from process development to series production. And with its extensive machine park, the group is also in a position to undertake production partially or completely – anywhere in the world to a consistently high quality.
Rotary swaging: Making light work of lightweight parts
Cold-forming of tubes is environmentally friendly – it saves valuable materials and reduces weight.
Renaissance of a process steeped in tradition: Rotary swaging is a traditional technique used by goldsmiths. Today it not only allows highest precision metalworking, but also conserves valuable resources, saves energy, cuts production costs and produces high-strength components. Whether steering, transmission or drive shafts, the Felss Group’s machines and technologies enable automobile and component manufacturers to continue to achieve advances in lightweight construction.
