Shaping<br />
by cutting<br />
with extreme<br />
precision<br />
We manufacture complex industrial<br />
components for sectors that operate<br />
with extreme requirements on<br />
precision and quality. Thanks to our<br />
superior technical skills, the leading<br />
spearhead technology on the market<br />
and remarkable flexibility, we<br />
can handle even the most challenging<br />
production projects. <strong>Our</strong> broad<br />
customer base encompasses worldleading<br />
pharmaceutical companies,<br />
the aerospace industry and hi-tech<br />
niche enterprises.<br />
We take on everything from comprehensive designand-build<br />
commissions – where we are involved from<br />
the initial idea phase onwards – to small-batch production<br />
and consultancy in the field of product development.<br />
By participating actively in the process from<br />
the drawing board stage, we ensure agile production<br />
and make sure to meet all demands and expectations.<br />
In fact, the earlier we join the process, the better we<br />
can optimise production and the end result.
Using our own-design process management system<br />
– PLUPP (Product Lifetime Unified Production<br />
Path) – we ensure that the products progress from<br />
prototype phase to batch production in a smooth,<br />
cost-efficient manner.<br />
Focus on the environment<br />
and sustainability<br />
<strong>LK</strong> <strong>Precision</strong> focuses unswervingly on work with sustainability.<br />
In all areas of our manufacturing process,<br />
we apply environmental management and quality<br />
assurance systems approved to the applicable ISO<br />
standards. We tailor our development production<br />
activities to enhance sustainability, and work closely<br />
with <strong>customers</strong> and organisations on sustainable solutions.<br />
We always choose the most eco-friendly work<br />
methods and are committed to reducing emissions<br />
and energy consumption. The demands we make on<br />
our own operation are often much more stringent<br />
than those <strong>set</strong> out in the prevailing environmental<br />
legislation and regulations, and we strive constantly<br />
to minimise our environmental impact in all areas.<br />
Service and the personal touch<br />
With unswerving commitment to your specific needs<br />
and a finely tuned problem-solving approach, we<br />
make sure your delivery features the highest quality<br />
in all areas. Throughout the production process, we<br />
are on hand to provide advice, answer questions and<br />
keep you updated about how the work is progressing.<br />
We supply the personal touch which we know our<br />
<strong>customers</strong> find reassuring.<br />
30 advanced CNC machines, most of which can<br />
perform 5-axle machining. Through regular quality<br />
assurance processes in our own-design quality system,<br />
we guarantee the highest quality in all phases<br />
of the manufacturing process. We are also investing<br />
heavily in automation and robotisation so as to optimise<br />
efficiency and capacity utilisation. This actually<br />
entails several of our machines operating 24/7.<br />
Prototype or full-scale production?<br />
<strong>Our</strong> manufacturing process is principally geared to<br />
small and medium-sized batches that are subject to<br />
the highest demands on precision. The customer’s<br />
needs, wishes and requirements are always centre<br />
stage, and we undertake everything from assistance<br />
with product development to prototype manufacture<br />
and full-scale production.<br />
Examples of the services we provide include:<br />
· Project management<br />
· Product development<br />
· Materials science<br />
· Tool manufacture<br />
· Preparation<br />
· Production<br />
· Measuring facility services<br />

World-class equipment<br />
We keep a close eye on the development of new<br />
machinery, and make sure our production apparatus<br />
is always updated with the best equipment on the<br />
market. <strong>Our</strong> machine fleet currently comprises around
When<br />
mistakes are<br />
not an<br />
option<br />
The components we manufacture<br />
are often used in the medico-technical<br />
industry and other sectors<br />
where human life and health can be<br />
put at risk if the products provide<br />
anything less than optimal function.<br />
The highest precision and accuracy<br />
are thus the alpha and omega of<br />
our production processes. Here is a<br />
small selection of customer cases.
CASE<br />
SAAB<br />
BOL300<br />
FROM DRAWING BOARD<br />
TO PRODUCTION<br />
CLIENT<br />
The SAAB electronic defence system for military<br />
aircraft involves the manufacture of the BOL<br />
missile defence system, which protects aircraft<br />
from missile attack by firing a blast of heat towards<br />
heat-seeking missiles, thus leading them away<br />
from <strong>their</strong> intended target.<br />
NEED<br />
With a tight window for getting its new product,<br />
BOL3000, to the market, SAAB needed a full-service<br />
strategic partner to assist with everything from the design<br />
phase to final production of the components. The<br />
structure of the product made it imperative for SAAB<br />
to work with a supplier skilled in both design and the<br />
advanced machining of tough-to-process materials.<br />
RESULT<br />
In just a short time, we designed and manufactured<br />
components for the BOL300 system. The project<br />
was a great success and helped SAAB launch its new<br />
product on the market within the specified timeframe.<br />
Over the course of 20 years as a strategic supplier<br />
to SAAB, we have designed and manufactured<br />
a large number of similar components<br />
for the company’s range<br />
of aircraft.<br />
