Schuster Mechanical Engineering combines experience from special-purpose machinery with innovative solutions for medical technology. The processing of technical ceramics particularly benefits from this expertise.
Ceramic materials are biocompatible, corrosion-resistant, and extremely durable, making them ideal for medical applications. However, their processing demands high standards of precision and protective mechanisms, especially during the green body phase. Special technologies are required to ensure the highest quality and efficiency.
Challenges in Green Body Processing
Green bodies are particularly sensitive during their early processing phase. They are porous, mechanically fragile, and generate extremely fine dust during grinding, milling, or turning operations. These challenges necessitate specifically adapted production environments:
- Gentle Processing: Since the material has not yet reached its final strength in the green body phase, low-vibration and high-precision tools are required.
- Minimization of Waste:Due to the fragility of green bodies, production processes must be precisely coordinated to prevent damage.
- Clean Working Environment: Ceramic dust can cause machine wear and impair product quality if not effectively extracted.
Our Innovative Dust Protection Concept
Schuster Mechanical Engineering employs an advanced dust protection concept to maximize machine efficiency, longevity, and the quality of manufactured components. Our solution is based on two central elements:
- Targeted Extraction
Our specially developed extraction systems capture generated dust directly at the source before it can settle on sensitive machine components. This:
- improves air quality in the production hall,
- reduces stress on machine components, and
- ensures longer operational life of manufacturing systems.
2. Efficient Enclosures
Additionally, individually adapted protective devices prevent dust from spreading uncontrollably in the manufacturing environment. These enclosures shield sensitive areas of the machines and significantly minimize maintenance requirements. For our customers, this means:
- Reduced downtime through longer maintenance intervals,
- Extended machine service life, and
- Increased process stability in ceramic component manufacturing.
