When component position is critical

Plastic workpiece carriers are the right choice wherever components need to be presented in a precisely defined position for machining, assembly or inspection processes. Unlike universal trays, the workpiece carrier is developed to match the exact outer contour of the workpiece — form-fitting, tip-proof and reproducible.

In CNC machining, the workpiece carrier enables precise clamping and referencing without elaborate fixtures. In assembly, it ensures that all components are aligned identically — a fundamental prerequisite for fast, error-free manual and automated assembly. In quality assurance, it serves as an inspection fixture for measuring instruments and camera systems.

We manufacture workpiece carriers from ABS, PC, HDPE and PP — depending on requirements for chemical resistance, temperature resistance or weight. Lightweight PP carriers for manual handling, robust ABS carriers for multi-year use on production lines. Optionally with markings, number stamps or QR code fields for traceability.

Thanks to our in-house toolmaking facility in Sundern, we deliver fast — from design approval to the first sample often in less than four weeks. This makes us a reliable partner even for time-critical projects and product launches.

The Right Material for Your Workpiece Carriers

Workpiece carriers for assembly lines require dimensionally stable, resistant materials — reproducible over thousands of cycles and compatible with automation systems.

ABS

Our standard for workpiece carriers — dimensionally stable, impact-resistant and resistant to industrial chemicals.

PS

Economical and dimensionally stable — for workpiece carriers with moderate loads and shorter service life.

PE-HD

Highly chemical-resistant — for workpiece carriers in contact with coolants and cutting oils.

PC

Polycarbonate — highest temperature resistance and impact strength for extreme production environments.
