With its innovative process for deep drawing titanium, German company-STÜKEN opens up new possibilities.

Medical technology would be hard to imagine without titanium as a material. It has a high biocompatibility and is corrosion-resistant in contact with organic acids and chloride solutions. The material is also important in other industries, for example when low weight and temperature resistance are required.

With its innovative process for deep drawing titanium, German company-STÜKEN opens up new possibilities. High-precision titanium components with complex geometries can now be produced using the efficient, fast and resource-saving deep drawing technology. The customer benefits from remarkable cost savings.

 

"Previously, precise components made of titanium could only be produced to a limited extent using deep-drawing technology," explains Nils Petersohn, Managing Director. "Material forming over several stages was uneconomical due to the extreme stress on the tools."

 

The company has developed an optimised process that allows titanium to be deep-drawn over a large number of stations. "This results in major cost advantages for pacemaker housings, for example, and also makes the use of deep-drawn titanium parts interesting for dental implant sleeves and similar applications."

 

The technology portfolio of the globally positioned company goes far beyond just deep-drawn parts. Supplemented with finishing processes that are precisely tailored to the customer's product, STÜKEN offers high-quality ready-to-use products that secure customers decisive competitive advantages.

 

"For our customers in the medical technology sector, our Class 7 cleanrooms are of crucial importance. In conjunction with validated cleaning processes, we can ensure that there are no unwanted residues on the components and biocompatibility is guaranteed," says Petersohn.

 

90 years of technological leadership and innovation

Founded in 1931, STÜKEN is considered the world’s leading supplier of precision deep-drawn metal parts. The product range also includes stamped and formed parts, plastic injection molded components, and sophisticated assemblies. The products can be found in a wide range of applications from household appliances to fittings, in computers, cell phones, medical devices and motor vehicles. Statistically, every car sold worldwide contains around 40 STÜKEN components. The family-owned company, headquartered in Rinteln, Germany, and with subsidiaries in the USA, the Czech Republic and China, employs around 1,250 people and generated sales of 178 million euros in 2020.


With new machine types and technological innovations, STÜKEN repeatedly set new standards in the deep drawing industry. Dr. Hubert Schmidt, CEO at STÜKEN, cites deep drawing of stainless steels, eddy current testing technology, laser welding and the SWEP surface hardening process as examples.

 

"Customers appreciate our competence for deep-drawn parts with particularly high degrees of forming, exceptional contours or extremely small dimensions. We offer a range of finishing processes that is unique in the industry. Our components are ready for use and can be processed directly. They can count on our know-how. Our quality enjoys an excellent reputation." To ensure that this remains the case in the future, STÜKEN invests in research and development. "As a technology leader, we always want to be ahead of the game," says Dr. Schmidt.
