BCE Special Ceramics was founded on April 1, 1986 — a date that regularly prompts questions and one we’ve therefore remembered well. 40 years for us means: thousands of components manufactured, a deliberately focused range of materials that we truly master, and many exciting projects. We will be celebrating on April 1 and kindly ask … Continue reading
BCE develops material pairings for cryogenic applications BCE Special Ceramics develops cryocompatible ceramic components for applications where extreme temperatures and media such as liquid hydrogen are involved. Initial components are already successfully in operation. We are currently taking the next step: material pairings and surfaces are specifically designed to ensure that friction, wear and tribological … Continue reading
BCE Special Ceramics will once again be exhibiting at ceramitec, the leading international trade fair for the ceramics industry. The event will take place from March 24 to 26, 2026, at the Trade Fair Center Messe München. Visit us at booth A6.323A and talk to us about precision components and parts made from technical high-performance … Continue reading
BCE has recently invested in state-of-the-art contour and roughness measuring systems from Mahr. This expands our quality assurance capabilities in form inspection and surface finish analysis. Contours on demanding components – such as tools for forming or can manufacturing – can now be precisely measured for dimensional accuracy right after grinding on the Studer S31. … Continue reading
In 2024, BCE commissioned a new Studer S31 cylindrical grinding machine. With this investment, we unlock enhanced capabilities in high-precision cylindrical and form grinding. The S31 is fully integrated into our production through a closed CAD/CAM system. Thanks to its increased center height, we can now process larger components up to Ø 300 mm – … Continue reading
BCE invested in a new 5-axis machining center for high-precision grinding in December 2021. After commissioning of a specially tailored air-conditioning technology for this facility in spring 2022, BCE will be able to reproducibly manufacture high-precision ceramic components in the small micrometer range. Our customers will be confronted more and more with the further increasing … Continue reading
Investment in the modernization of flat grinding technology. In conventional grinding technology, two modern machines are replacing their aging predecessors. Due to the high precision and smooth running, suitable among others also for flatness standards or other demanding flat grinding components, very demanding components can be realized unerringly with the right know-how. BCE has deliberately … Continue reading
BCE has made a donation to aid organizations for humanitarian support in the recent refugee crisis… Continue reading
BCE commissioned its solar system with an output of 97 kWp on the roof of the production halls on 23.02.2017. This month, the plant celebrates its 5th birthday and can look back on trouble-free operation throughout its lifetime. The total generation is almost 455,000 kWh, which corresponds to a CO2 avoidance of almost 300 t … Continue reading
The trend towards more and more precise components, e.g. for measurement and medical technology, presents BCE with ever new challenges. In addition to the corresponding production facilities, quality assurance must also take into account the increased requirements. For this purpose, in addition to an improved air conditioning system, BCE invested in an ultra-precise optical measuring … Continue reading
