MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES

Mechanics

Turning, milling, drilling and grinding are all done both on conventional machines and also on CNC machine tools.

Welding

Different welding methods, such as MAG, TIG or microplasma welding, can also be used whenever necessary.
  • Tungsten Insert Gas (TIG) welding
  • Microplasma welding
  • Metal Activ Gas (MAG) arc welding
  • Vacuum brazing / High-Vacuum
  • Heat Treatment Furnace

Assembly and adjustment

FMB ensures its equipment meets the high requirements in terms of cleanness and purity by conducting assembly in separate, low-particle-count or clean rooms.

  • Appropriate assembly halls, including one dust free clean room, are available for UHV–proof assembly.
  • High–precision theodolites are available for adjustment and high– precision position control of components and comple

High-Vacuum Heat Treatment Furnace

High-quality soldering work is done in our own clean high-vacuum furnace. FMB can also offer the right quality when soldering different materials and combinations of high-grade steel, copper, Glidcop or ceramic.
