Series production of metal components, modules and assemblies

We supply series-produced metal components, modules and assemblies. Produced and machined to the finest detail, of maximum quality and precisely tailored to the wishes of our customers.

Our range covers all machining, working and processing services in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, etc.. All produced by experienced staff in ultra-precise manual work using modern machinery. We have, among other modern facilities, a welding robot capable of performing spot, MIG, MAG and TIG welding. But we are concerned not only with ultra precision, but also with efficiency. In the field of punching, for example, we put our faith in progressive stamping and combination die technology, to permit the rational production of large quantities of components.

We are also pleased to act as a series supplier and/or as a contract (toll) production partner for you. If required, we can support you with our know-how on new product projects, through from the very conception up to readiness for series production. Because: here at WELP, production, engineering and our own toolmaking are tightly meshed.

Metal work – Our services

Forming

We employ a range of methods to get plate and sheet into exactly the right shape. Our hydraulic presses punch components with a force of 63 t to 300 t. Metal of a thickness of up to 12 mm can be bent, folded, pressed, deep-drawn and hot formed.

Punching technology

Our hydraulic presses are capable of exerting punching forces ranging from 63 t to 300 t. And, of course, we also offer all follow-up services for your stamped parts, including barrel finishing. Take a look at the video further down on this page for a closer look at our punching production processes.

Milling

To achieve precisely the desired contours, we use high-power CNC milling machines - ideally suited to the production of large runs.

Cutting

We use both water-jet and laser cutting to cut our materials to the size needed. Both methods offer similar benefits and are capable of cutting metals extremely flexibly and precisely in two and in three dimensions. Laser cutting heats the material only a little, while the water-jet method is a cold cutting method.

Joining

We use our modern range of machinery with great precision to join individual components to make complex modules. Depending on needs, we may use here spot welding, MIG, MAG or TIG welding, riveting and other joining methods to join the individual components.

Surface finishing

Components must not only function perfectly, they must also look perfect, especially those that are externally visible. This is why we surface finish the metal components by means of barrel finishing, grinding and polishing, coating and painting. This also protects these components against the weather.

Assembly

We assemble individual components and subassemblies either manually or automatically to complete modules and products that are immediately ready for installation or use.

High-tech at work. This video gives you a look behind the scenes of our production facilities and shows you how our high-precision metal components and modules are made.

Selected reference projects

We are proud of the trust that our customers place in us. This is why we relish the opportunity to showcase some of our customer projects that are representative of our complete range of services.

PROTECTION CONCEPTS AND TEST VEHICLES FOR AUDI AG

Audi has been relying on our expertise in the field of special protection for over a decade now. Ever since the D3 generation (2002–2010), we have been working together on developing protection concepts for vehicles, setting up test vehicles and supplying our protection kits to Audi as standard.

Special task forces and police departments

When it comes to staying a step ahead of crime, police departments and special task forces (SEK) in Germany rely on Toyota Land Cruiser 200s that have been specially armoured by our team. The vehicles differ in terms of their protection classes and equipment to ensure they are always ideally equipped for their respective applications. But what they all have in common is their special focus on tactical equipment.

Prisons

Protection and communication: We carried out extensive modification work on two Mercedes Sprinters for a German prison. This involved us armouring the vehicles, removing the rear interior and equipping them with various communication systems.

Aid organisations / NGOs

Security for aid workers: More than 1,200 of our bullet-proof vehicles in the form of armoured Toyota Land Cruisers of various model series protect the employees of numerous aid organisations around the world. Every year, we are asked to supply around 120 more vehicles. We really are honoured by the huge amount of confidence our customers place in us and inspired to keep doing what we do.

DAHER NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES GmbH

A secure companion: We worked with Daher Nuclear Technologies to develop a bullet-proof vehicle based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 to escort vehicles in safety category 1. We developed the armoured escort vehicle in close cooperation with the customer according to the latest security guidelines and equipped it with the very latest technology.

Cantonal Police in Switzerland

Protection for the Police: We have armoured a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 for a Cantonal Police in Switzerland. The vehicle meets the highest protection requirements and has, among others, various customer-specific, concealed communication and navigation systems.
