Innovation & Development

Innovation from practice

Innovation

Development from real requirements

Our innovations arise where they are needed: in the workshop. We develop tools that solve typical repair problems and simplify processes.

New engine generations, changed installation situations and tighter tolerances present workshops with new challenges. We analyse these requirements and develop technical solutions from them.

Exchange with workshops, technicians and vehicle manufacturers is part of our development process. This is how tools are created that are tailored to real problems.

Innovation

Prototypes & practical tests

From idea to finished product: every new tool goes through several development stages. After conception, prototypes follow which are tested under real workshop conditions.

Only when the tool meets the requirements – technically, ergonomically and economically – does it go into production. This process often takes months, but delivers solutions that work.

Feedback from practice flows into optimisation. Some tools are revised again after initial tests before they come to market.

Innovation

Process optimisation instead of 'more effort'

Good tools do not just make work possible, but also more efficient. Our goal is to simplify repair processes – less time, less risk, better results.

An example: a specialised injector puller saves hours of trial and error and protects against damage to the cylinder head. This saves not just time, but also nerves and consequential costs.

Innovation

Examples of typical application areas

Injectors: removing seized injectors safely and in a controlled manner

Glow plugs: precisely drilling out broken glow plugs and repairing threads

Sensors: removing lambda probes, NOx sensors and temperature sensors without damage

Threads: making damaged threads functional again with inserts or re-tapping
