Detection - Identification - Safeguarding - Controlling – Monitoring
Non-contact sensors (proximity switches, inductive, capacitive and ultrasonic sensors) are used for precision sensing of dynamic motions. Klaschka "All Metal" Sensors and Pulse Sensors are specially designed for very high speeds and challenging applications with switching frequencies higher than 10 kHz.
In combination with measurement relays and controllers, non-contact identification (RFID) and tamper-proof safety switches with extremely large switching distances (safety and security) ensure reliable process steps in plant and machinery.
Klaschka offers a wide range of Double Blank Detectors for sheet detection and thickness measurement in the metal-forming industries. The universal BDK-Doublesheet-Detector-system is firmly established in the automotive industry. For applications that do not need this functionality, there are lower-cost systems of Double Sheet Detectors, Doublesheet Controllers and Sheet Thickness Sensors. These are used in many fields when handling and processing metal and metal-coated materials to avoid damage and downtime.

Stamped parts / Bent parts / Stamped-bent parts / Pressed parts
According to drawings, samples or individual specifications, we manufacture stamped parts and formed parts for you including the complete subsequent processing and finishing in the batch size you require. This results in simple washers and mounting brackets through to high-precision shift parts, moulded parts for the automotive industry and mechanical engineering and complex follow-on composite parts. High precision in combination with the latest punching technology is particularly important here.

Going forward together
We are the global market leader in machines and systems for controlled rotary forming techniques (incremental). Highly complex forming geometries can be generated with these rotary forming systems. Mechanical working with very tight tolerances, sharp-edged chamfer structure and polished finishes is also possible.

Forming technology is a manufacturing process in which metallic materials are plastically deformed by applying external forces in order to achieve the desired shapes and dimensions.this technology occupies an important position in the modern manufacturing industry and is widely used in sectors such as the automotive industry, aviation, electronics and the household appliance industry.
One of the main advantages of forming technology is the efficient production of complex component geometries, and by precisely controlling the process parameters, high production speeds and large quantities can be achieved with consistent product quality, which is of great importance in order to meet the demand for individualized and diverse products on the market.
In addition, forming technology helps to improve material utilization, which generally generates less material waste compared to machining processes, making optimum use of the starting materials and reducing production costs, a feature that is in line with the modern manufacturing industry's drive for sustainable development.
During the forming process, the crystalline structure of the material can change, which can lead to an improvement in mechanical properties.For example, the strength and durability of components can be increased through appropriate forming processes to meet specific performance requirements.This optimization of properties is crucial for increasing product quality and competitiveness.
In summary, forming technology plays a key role in the modern manufacturing industry with its advantages in terms of efficiency, material utilization and performance optimization.As technological development progresses, it is expected that this field will produce further innovations and sustainably support the development of various industries.

Forming technology is a process in which external forces are used to plastically deform materials without causing them to break in order to achieve the desired shape and size. This technique is used in many industries. Here are some of the main areas of application:
Household appliance industry: housings, front panels and internal structural parts of household appliances are often manufactured using forming techniques. For example, washing machine and refrigerator housings are manufactured by deep drawing to ensure an attractive appearance and structural strength.
Electronics industry: housings and internal brackets of electronic devices are often produced by stamping and deep drawing. Smartphone and television housings are formed into complex geometries with precise dimensions using precise forming processes.
Construction industry: Building materials such as window frames, roofing sheets and wall cladding are often produced using forming techniques. By rolling and bending, manufacturers can produce metal parts that meet architectural requirements.
Aerospace industry: In the aerospace industry, important components such as aircraft fuselages, wings and control surfaces are manufactured using forming techniques. Precision processes can be used to produce lightweight, high-strength parts that meet stringent requirements.
Precision manufacturing: For parts that require high precision and complex shapes, such as housings and internal components of precision instruments, forming technology offers effective manufacturing processes. For example, medical devices are manufactured through precision stamping and deep drawing to ensure functionality and reliability.
Hydraulic and pneumatic hammers: Hydraulic and pneumatic hammers are used in industries such as toolmaking, shipbuilding, military, automotive, aerospace and construction. Demand in these sectors is driving the development of forming technology.
Metal forming standards: The metal forming industry includes various non-cutting machining techniques, from precision bending to high-temperature forming. These techniques are used to produce various metal parts that meet the requirements of different industries.
Robot chassis suspension structures: The suspension structures of robot chassis are manufactured using forming techniques to ensure the strength and stability of the structure. For example, the design of reinforcement plates improves the strength of the swivel arm and prevents deformation and breakage.
