Material and technology
We manufacture our products using three different materials. We select the most suitable material for you, and the ideal manufacturing technology for your application.
Mineral casting (EPUMENT)
- High-performance machine bed and construction material based on selected mineral fillers and a high-quality epoxy resin-based binding agent
- Basis for machine components with impressive properties, diverse range of design possibilities, and clear economic benefits
- Also available as radiation-absorbing material (EPURAM)
Added value
- Superior damping
- Outstanding thermal stability
- High level of precision
- High degree of functional integration
- Attractive and design-oriented
- Environmentally friendly with outstanding green credentials
- Excellent availability and short time-to-market
Areas of application
- Machine beds for all industries
- Machine components (e.g. traveling columns, gantries, traverses)
- Radiation protection components (filling with EPURAM)
- Suitable for small, medium, and large quantities
Ultra-high performance concrete (EPUDUR)
- Innovative machine bed and construction material based on premium cement with nano-fillers
- Foundation for machine components with impressive properties, a diverse range of design possibilities, and clear economic benefits
Added value
- Superior damping
- Outstanding thermal stability
- High degree of functional integration
- High level of precision
- Attractive and design-oriented
- Environmentally friendly with outstanding green credentials
- Excellent availability and short time-to-market
Areas of application
- Machine beds for all industries
- Machine components (e.g. traveling columns, gantries, traverses)
- Suitable for small, medium, and large quantities
Hard stone (EPUSTONE)
- Plutonic rock with a very dense and homogeneous microstructure
- Most suitable materials: “Gabbro Impala” from South Africa and “Tarn” from France
Added value
- Surface supports the use of air bearings
- Outstanding thermal stability
- High level of precision
Areas of application
- Machine beds for all industries
- Machine components (e.g. traveling columns, gantries, traverses)
- Measuring machines
- Measuring equipment
- Suitable for individual pieces or special parts, and for small to medium quantities
Composite constructions (EPUFILL)
- Steel, welded, metal shell, and cast structures are filled with a vibration-reducing epoxy resin-bonded mineral casting
- This creates composite structures with long-term stability that also offer an excellent level of static and dynamic rigidity
- Also available with radiation-absorbing filling material (EPURAM)
Added value
- Increased dynamic rigidity (damping) in steel, welded, metal shell, and cast constructions
- Increased static rigidity in steel, welded, metal shell, and cast constructions
- High level of functional integration
- Excellent availability and short time-to-market
Areas of application
- Machine beds for all industries
- Machine components (e.g. traveling columns, gantries, traverses)
- Radiation protection components (EPURAM filling)
- Vibration-damping substructures, e.g. for turbines, combustion engines, test beds, centrifuges
- Suitable for individual pieces or special parts, and for small to medium quantities
