The “Precision“ business unit consists of a powerful team that has developed solutions for metal and plastics processing for decades.

We develop and manufacture individualized solutions depending on the requirements for cutting, conveying and handling as well as packaging of panel-shaped metal materials, plastics and building materials as well as special composite materials and printed circuit boards.

We develop and manufacture fully or partially automated sawing cells, where each little detail is designed to meet the specific customer requirements. This is one of our key strengths.
When we design the workcells, we use proven modules and components from the IMA Schelling product family. Each workcell is designed and implemented in close cooperation with the customer, and – depending on the task to be performed – with technology partners for the periphery as well as upstream and downstream workcell elements in the production chain.

Our customers mainly come from the automotive industry and its suppliers as well as from the aircraft construction industry in Germany, the USA, Italy, France, Switzerland and Great Britain. These industries use IMA Schelling "Precision” machines to produce cut-to-size parts requiring accuracies within +/- 0.05 mm. This means that the demands placed on the accuracy of these non-wood cut-to-size parts and hence also on the panel cutting solutions are significantly greater than those placed on wood, which is a relatively cheap material where speed is important. As a result of these requirements, our business unit with its machines and workcells has evolved to become the technology leader in the relevant industries and is now providing solutions which are unequalled in terms of serviceable life, quality and precision.

The operation of high-end manufacturing systems for digitized, fully automated and networked processing of wood, metal or plastics places complex demands on the logistics of the manufacturing organisation. In order for our workcell solutions to ensure efficient and flexible production, the highly competent specialists of our software department develop and program individualized software solutions for you.
