6 good reasons to choose Herz
Technology leader in Europe
With Herz you are backing the only etching experts in Europe that produce sample parts using both cutting methods and large-scale serial production on the assembly line. In this way, you receive everything from a single source from the first sample part to large-scale production – and from the same state-of-the-art machines. For a smooth transition to series production that saves money and capacities.
Excellent technical advice
It could be advice over the phone or advice to our customers on site; with Herz, you can rely on 40 years of technical experience in etching technology. And also on seamless all-round service – from prototypes to series production. The key to our success is that we take the time to understand your entire process and your product.
Customer-specific solutions
Here at Herz, the best product is not enough. We also develop the best process for you. For example in panel creation where our modern CAD system calculates the best solution for you. Your own warehouse areas reserved for your material. And the specially developed packaging systems to ensure transport runs smoothly and safely.
On-the-spot service
Even though it is the machines that actually produce your etched parts, at Herz it is the people that take on your assignment. Particularly when it is a complex job, we like to communicate with you personally and at your company site. In this way, we can talk through what is feasible in the construction phase for example and so avoid unnecessary alterations later on.
Storage of customer material
Unlike the “just-in-time” ordering strategy, we keep around 700 materials for you in stock. This means you can quickly test prototypes in various materials and bring them into series production promptly. We are also happy to store rare materials to guarantee a quick response time.
Returnable packaging/Container cleaning
Focus on your processes and we will look after the packaging of your contour etched parts. With tailored returnable packaging in small load carriers developed specifically for the purpose, the entire delivery arrives at your site safely and in a clean condition. And the empty containers? We take them back and clean them for your next order.
6 good reasons to etching technology
Low tool costs
For contour etched parts, optics are used instead of technical tools. These are ready for operation faster and are more cost-effective than metal punching tools for example.
Fully flexible when it comes to geometric shapes
More complex means more expensive? Not with contour etched parts. They offer you new possibilities for complex structures – because the metal is processed from both sides for example.
The most intricate structures with high precision
Ätztechnik Herz produces filigree and highly intricate structures that are not achievable with punching technology. The production process guarantees maximum precision to one hundredth of a millimeter.
Fast part production
No time-consuming tool construction, efficient processes and what’s more extensive material storage. With Herz you get your finished product faster. With the Speedline service, in just 48 hours.
Burr-free and careful processing
Etching technology is a photochemical process. The contour etched part is not impaired by burrs or deformations. A decisive advantage compared to mechanical processing.
Cleanliness in accordance with VDA 19
When etching metal, no metal particles are produced. In this way, Ätztechnik Herz meets the cleanliness requirements laid down in the German Association of the Automotive Industry regulation VDA 19 (German Association of the Automotive Industry regulation). And without the need for an additional cleaning process.
