Complex production in our in-house stamping plant
Since the development of the automatic welding helmet, Optrel has been developing innovative systems for eye and respiratory protection for private and professional welders. The helmets are sold worldwide. The heart of every automatic welding helmet is the cassette, in which the technology and expertise merge.
Part of this cassette is a printed circuit board on which the control unit is integrated, which regulates the liquid crystal display according to brightness. Two CR2032 button batteries are held on the printed circuit board by a battery holder with a positive pole and a battery contact with a negative pole.
Vogt AG was commissioned to manufacture complex battery contacts for the company based in eastern Switzerland. The stamping and bending tool was designed using modern 3D software, machined on the CNC milling centre and wire-eroded on Swiss quality machines. The two parts were stamped in the in-house stamping plant and then hardened and finished. To ensure that the high quality requirements are met by the series, the parts are checked down to the last detail in quality control. The consistently high quality is ensured at Vogt by regularly trained personnel.
