About us
Your partner for production excellence
Are you seeking for a partner for the industrialization of your products or automation with modern, intelligent manufacturing solutions?
Special Machinery offers solutions for the following product areas:
Joint Replacements: We develop and implement manufacturing solutions for high-quality medical implants to support and restore joint functions. Our systems combine the handling of a wide range of materials, from metals to biological materials, and offer solutions for complex manufacturing processes in clean room environments.
Instruments: Our systems for the production of medical instruments, such as surgical tools and dialysis cartridges, guarantee the highest quality standards. Our extensive measuring and testing capacities help us to maintain the necessary precision and reliability in instrument production.
Medical Devices: Our solutions for medical devices, including imaging procedures such as X-ray and MRI equipment, offer flexible production solutions from manual workstations to fully automated systems. We support the manufacture of components used in these critical devices.
Wearables: In the mass production of wearable medical technology, our solutions enable fast and cost-efficient production with shortened cycle times, covering everything from assembly and testing to handling.
Additionally we are introducing our OmniFusion 3D system - an additive manufacturing system for creating products with the simultaneous handling of up to 3 different materials. The materials can be placed on the building platform pixel by pixel and three-dimensional geometries can be created from material combinations. For example, using titanium in combination with other metals or ceramics is an approach that can create new ways of individualized, cost-efficient production for implants, for example.

OmniFusion 3D
Milestone in additive manufacturing | Multi-material 3D printing with our OmniFusion 3D
Together with Schaeffler Aerosint, we have developed a system for additive manufacturing that can produce 3D printed parts using a combination of metals and technical ceramics. The OmniFusion 3D enables:
Unparalleled design freedom
Unique material combinations
Integration of several material properties in a single component
Individualization and needs-based production
Our system, specially developed for 3D multi-material printing, sets new standards in additive manufacturing with multi-materials and represents a milestone in the application of additive manufacturing processes.
Assembly and testing of x-ray tubes
Assembly and testing of x-ray tubes | solutions by Schaeffler Special Machinery
Our flexible assembly and testing concept accommodates a variety of product types, supported by an operator-friendly human-machine interface for seamless workflow management. Integrated into plant simulation, our system facilitates comprehensive analysis of testing results and engineering data.
Key processes include embedded heat treatment ovens, precise weighing stations for components up to 80 kg, helium leakage tests, and acoustics testing using air and body sound measurements. Designed to be "AGV ready," our facilities support efficient logistics with automated guided vehicles.
