New Metrology for Highest Precision in Contour and Surface Inspection

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. Functional surface finishes can also be assessed with greater detail.

This new metrology enables continuous feedback from CAD design through manufacturing to final inspection – ensuring consistent precision and quality.

BCE will be exhibiting at Ceramitec 2024: Collective stand with Ceramic Applications

We are delighted that BCE Special Ceramics will once again be represented at this year’s Ceramitec, the world’s leading trade fair for the ceramics industry. Once again, we will be presenting our precision components made of high-performance technical ceramics on a joint stand with Ceramic Applications, one of our long-standing partners. Visit us at stand A6.323A from April 9 to 12 to gain a deeper insight into the wide range of applications for our parts and components made of ceramic materials. Curious? You can get an initial overview at: https://www.bce-special-ceramics.com/applications/

BCE Ceramitec 2024

Ceramitec in Munich offers the perfect platform for a personal exchange on the various areas of application for these high-performance materials.

We look forward to your visit!

Investment in Cylindrical Grinding – Studer S31 Expands Capabilities

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 – a significant advantage over the previously used S21.

The combination of cutting-edge grinding technology and a digital process chain strengthens our performance in handling complex geometries and demanding precision requirements.

BCE at Ceramitec 2022

The BCE team spent 4 successful days at Ceramitec. The interest of the trade visitors in our technical ceramic solutions was gratifyingly high and we were able to make interesting contacts.

After the long days at the trade fair, mild summer evenings lured us out into beautiful Munich.

New 5-axis machining center

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 requirements of many users, e.g. in the high-end analysis measuring equipment sector. With this investment BCE is then certainly able to produce adapted or new ceramic components for these µm precise assemblies.

Investment in flat grinding technology

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 chosen machines manufactured in Germany in order to operate sustainably in the service area as well.

Photovoltaic system in operation for 5 years

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 – or in other words the emissions of a passenger car with 1.5 million km total driving distance.

Next level measurement!

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 system.
At the push of a button, series-accompanying measurements in the 0.1µm range can now be carried out without operator influence.
From batteries to highly loaded nozzles up to pumps for the food industry all customers benefit from the new acquisition at BCE.
