User report/ SWISSMECHANIC / Fehlmann
Trainees expect a certain level of respect; you can’t underestimate the demands that young peoplemake At least that’s how Daniel Lohner, head of the training center and course instructor at Swissmechanic, Graubünden section, sees it. The company, therefore, factored this requirement into its investment plans for new machines. Landquart opted for seven PICOMAX 56 mill milling machines from Fehlmann.
User report, Rychiger AG/ Fehlmann AG
Rychiger AG invested in the future of production technology with a self-sufficient production island. A network of two Fehlmann Versa 825 with workpiece and tool storage, an integrated measuring machine and a washing system ensures low-manpower production of very small series. Hard milling and grinding processes are part of the manufacturing solution. Rychiger AG is re-orienting its parts production strategy with this machining cell – supplying spare parts and key components, while developing new components that possess the required technological competence, vertical manufacturing range and flexibility.
User report Fehlmann AG/ OMB Maschinenfabrik AG
The OMB company in Flawil successfully covered the capacities of 2.5 machining centers with the first VERSA 825, installed in 2018. Over time, the 5-axis machine with 32 pallet positions became an abso-lutely key machine. Since March 2021, OMB has been producing on Fehlmann’s new flagship. The VERSA 945. Thanks to the larger travels, maximum precision and increased dynamics, OMB has been able to continuously expand its product portfolio, and with the enormously reduced non-productive times, it is playing in a new league.
Press release, Stuttgart Januar 2024
The next Control international trade fair for quality assurance will take place in roughly four months: the most up-to-date technologies from the fields of vision technology, image processing, sensor technology, as well as measuring and test technology, will be presented in Stuttgart for the 36th time from the 23rd through the 26th of April, 2024. Further developments and forward-looking concepts are focused on automation and digitalisation.

Automation of the manufacturing processes also requires analysis of the deburring methods. Knoepfel AG implements the deburring solutions of HEULE Precision Tools in the production of highly complex mechanical components – also for cross bores.
User report Fehlmann AG/ MIRAD Microwave AG
MIRAD Microwave AG in Wittenbach develops and manufactures assemblies for satellite communications. In connection with the development of a new frequency band at 60 GHz, the company invested in a VERSA 645 linear 5-axis machining center from Fehlmann. The development of new components and subsequent qualification tests showed that a final contour accuracy of 0.5 microns and better is possible.
