The more demanding requirements grow, the clearer WILD‘s edge becomes: technical superiority, process intelligence and uncompromising precision.

27 individual operations, precisely adjusted measurement equipment, specialised fixtures and two months of lead time: it is often unassuming components like a hydraulic cylinder for a prosthetic leg which require flawless processing, seamless control and precisely coordinated processes between machining, surface treatment, measurement technology and assembly.

”Complexity begins where precision, purity and process stability are required simultaneously – over several weeks“, explains Christian Rabitsch, Managing Director of WILD GmbH. In practice, this translates into demanding geometries with undercuts and freeform surfaces, minimum tolerances at sub-micrometre level and materials like titanium, high-alloy stainless steels or invar, whose processing requires very specific know-how.

At WILD, these are everyday challenges. Be it cutter heads for industrial lasers, optical assemblies for sensor technology or high-purity  systems for mass spectroscopy: Völkermarkt manufactures under conditions that push conventional production to its limits. The company‘s strength lies in its structured mastering of technically complex challenges, ranging from material expertise and special workholding technology to validated final cleaning before transport into the cleanroom, or the wet-on-wet manufacturing of high-purity components.

A perfect coordination of all disciplines is essential in guaranteeing this quality. ”We can master such challenges because we keep the entire process chain in-house“, Rabitsch stresses. Every component embodies the company‘s knowledge of materials and geometry in  CNC manufacturing and surface treatment, process-specific measurement equipment, individual workholding design and controlled cleaning steps. The result is reproducible excellence in compliance with the most stringent standards and criteria.

A PRECISION MASTERCLASS
These qualities are also in demand for a high-alloy stainless steel part that WILD  manufactures for a renowned provider of lithography systems. Sub-micrometre tolerances,  internal structures, galvanic coating – very often, a margin of just a few micrometres remains after pre-final dimension processing. ”Such components can only be reproduced reliably using a combination of electroplating groundwork, material competence, and precise handling“, Rabitsch explains. ”Our teams are specifically trained and put together from different disciplines. This makes us a one-stop shop for complex systems.
