Small series at B&W Engineering

A very apt metaphor describes our workforce not as an ordinary wall with uniform bricks, but as a natural stone wall. Every stone, every employee is unique, hand-picked and integrated into the overall picture. This metaphor can also be applied to our services. One stone in it, which among other things forms the wall, is the small series.

Small series at B&W Engineering: the building block that sets us apart

As a rule, products are put into mass production after development. However, small series play an important role in medical technology in particular, and finding a suitable supplier can be a challenge. The reason for this is the high cost of the required equipment and the correspondingly trained personnel.

Here at B&W, we are the stonemasons who add this special stone from the small series to our natural stone wall. We accompany the development of a product from start to finish. From industrial design to mechanics, hardware and software, right through to small series production.

A mosaic of possibilities

One example of the combination of in-house manufactured and purchased parts is an optical adjustment element in medical technology. We provided high-precision turned and milled parts for this and also took care of the procurement of lenses and calibration.
And that for a series of 100 assemblies.

Another scenario relates to the provision of 200 units for the prototype development of a therapy instrument. The idea was to collect important data from these preliminary versions without driving up the costs per unit. Each unit is made up of around 150 components. In this case, we have used our expertise and contacts 150 times over to find the parts you need that are both quality and cost effective. We cooperate closely both with the manufacturers of the prototypes and with the suppliers for subsequent series production. another example in which we have exclusively purchased parts is the assembly of 200 devices for the prototype phase of a project. Each device consists of around 150 individual parts. We procure the required components and work closely with prototype manufacturers and series suppliers.

Thanks to our expert knowledge and equipment, we also develop final testing stations for electromechanical assemblies, for example in the field of medical ventilation.

In the multifaceted engineering landscape, it is the small series that can make the difference when selecting a service provider. They are a technical challenge that we take on with heart and soul. Swing the metaphorical chisel with us and shape the art of engineering of tomorrow with heart and mind.
