Small metal parts - Import export

With laser generation, components are built up layer by layer from powdered metallic materials used in serial production such as 1.2709 steel or 1.4543 steel. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, this enables us to transfer your computer-generated 3D/CAD models reliably over to their physical form. Here, thin coats of the powder materials are applied to a base object before being melted using a laser into the desired contour. This process is continued on a revolving basis until the workpiece is complete with the final geometric form and the relevant functional properties. Incidentally, we reclaim excess powder material during this process and use all of it for later productions again. Our services in sample development also include technical springs, which we produce in small batches for your sample application. Traditional sample development services are a new addition to our portfolio. Here, we produce a small-scale series of your bent strip parts from original materials.

In our new production space, we have at our disposal 30 state-of-the-art automated punching & bending machines. In addition to bent wire parts, we also produce bent strip parts here. Production to order with complex forming: Bent strip parts are produced from a broad range of materials, including for instance stainless steel, alloyed or carbon steel, brass, copper, bronze, or even K55 or K75, a specially alloyed steel. We produce complex forms and assembly parts with a strip thickness of 0.15 to 3.00 mm and with a strip width of up to 120 mm; the strip thickness will be dependent on the material. Strip materials: Carbon steels, Stainless steels, Cold-rolled strips, Slit strips. Non-ferrous strips: Brass, Copper,Bronze,Special alloys such as K55 or K75. Strip coatings: Tin-plated, Galvanised, Silver-plated, Gold-plated, Painted, Partial coatings, Special coatings on request.

Parts are made to custom design from drawings, from very small quantities to industrial mass application, pursuant to standards, in a wide range. We supply components in accordance with customer requirements, with a special or knurled surface, and with a range of head forms, such as ring, eyelet, hook, triangle or ligature. Screws, bolts and axles from 1.5 mm to 12 mm can be made with lengths of up to 397 mm; customer lengths available on request (also on request with lock serrations). Knurled axles (knurling either DIN or to customer requirements), threads of M2 to M12 made of plastic or wood or with rolled thread, thick or thin shafts. Ligatures with threads of M2 to M8, or wooden thread with or without weld warts. Rivets and pins with diameters of 1.2 mm to 10 mm, with or without bevelling. Also knurled (knurling either DIN or to customer requirements).

We employ welding robots to join complex metal wire parts made of steel or aluminium to form an assembly. This in turn leads to complex bent wire components for the automotive industry, such as brackets for cushioning frames, and eyelet fastenings.

With over 125 years of market experience, a network of specialised companies has evolved to serve the wide range of your customers’ requirements with the best possible quality. The focus of these long-standing cooperations is on making the most of available know-how while maintaining fair market prices. Besides bent wire and plastic components, a wide range of industries also require so-called hybrid parts. This combination of metal and plastic is found, for instance, in screw joints, connecting rods, seat elements for lumbar support, and medical engineering, among other areas. We work in close cooperation with specialised partners for plastics engineering. Our great efficiency in wire working technology and plastic injection enables us to create hybrid parts that satisfy the most stringent requirements.

Parts are made to custom design from drawings, from very small quantities to industrial mass application, in a wide range. We work with steel, stainless steel, copper and aluminium wire and can also implement your surface requirements.

Processes such as radial riveting or pressing are used to permanently conjoin a metal plate for example with a wire bracket. 
Test apparatus for monitoring compliance with the required tear values secure the process in line with these safety-relevant components. These assembly parts are used, for example, as reinforcements for backrest frames.

We can produce the parts you require using specific tools or on special-purpose machines. We produce complex forms and assembly parts with strip thicknesses of 0.10 to 3.00 and with strip widths of up to 100 mm – depending on the material used. The manufacturing processes that we offer include: Punching, forming, embedding, welding, bolting, riveting and mounting. We perform the assembly of small batches by hand, while larger volumes are performed automated if you so wish. Our hybrid sub-assembly production includes the over-moulding of punched parts made of wire or metal with a variety of plastics or silicones. In order to ensure that the desired braking element features optimum properties, we make use of both the temperature durability and the haptic advantages of silicone and the weight advantage of plastic when combining these materials in this fashion. Guide tube assemblies, a combination of springs and tubes, are part of the hybrid component portfolio.

We offer customized die-cast parts, stamped parts, deep-drawn parts, turned parts, milled parts and contact springs, both as small-precision and large parts. Partial or complete plastic and rubber injection molding of metal parts is also part of our portfolio. The manufactured metal parts can be completed with sealing elements, threaded inserts and bearing bushes. We also offer processes for cold pressing, as well as cost-effective surface finishing. We accompany our customers throughout the entire project process and organize the tool and sample production as well as the production (including surface finishing) and optionally also the assembly of the series parts.

Pressure seal bags for reliable corrosion protection of small metal parts during storage and transport.

Contaminated bulk material is cleaned One of the most annoying and expensive problems with bulk material processing is the contamination by foreign substances. These contaminants not only reduce the quality of the final product, they also cause damage to the machines and failures. Especially high-strength small metal parts such as screws, nuts, washers, or cotter pins cause serious damage to the processing machinery. For this reason, the production costs with contract processing are often uncontrollable. Ebbecke has the production under control To solve this costly nuisance, the engineers of Ebbecke Verfahrenstechnik AG have developed their own system with which goods that have been contaminated by metal particles can be cleaned. This is done using the inductively-working metal detector that detects even the finest metal abrasions and reliably separates them from the goods. Through a trouble-free production process delays, non-compliance of supply contracts and consequent compensatio

Our deburring and edge rounding machines type TF enable an optimal Surface Processing up to the perfect surface finish in the dry grinding process. The Deburring & Edge Rounding Machines are available with 3 different passage widths. They have various performance spectrums, which are individually adapted to the modular principle customizable and configurable to customer requirements. Both small and large-area sheet metal parts or workpieces can be processed, regardless of the material. These conveyer machines thus show the best possible flexibility in sheet metal processing.
