OTEC Präzisionsfinish GmbH

Allgemeine Informationen

Since 1996 OTEC has expanded from a small manufacture of polishing machines for the local jewellery and watchmaking industry to become a truly global player. It all started with a vision: perfect surfaces, achieved quickly and cost-effectively. Soaring labour costs led the jewellery industry to look for new solutions. Manual surface treatment during manufacturing or service operations was causing prices to escalate and threatening export sales.

This is where the disc finishing and drag finishing processes are called for. They enable workpieces of any shape or weight to be deburred, ground, burnished or polished in a very short time and with great precision. The disc finishing process facilitates economical, perfect and fast surface treatment and is ideally suited to small workpieces. For heavy workpieces and complex shapes, drag finishing machines are used to provide a high-precision finish in an automated process. Machines for separating the finished workpieces from the processing medium and for reprocessing the resultant waste water complete the OTEC range. Before choosing the best system for their requirements, prospective customers can have a sample of work processed free of charge in OTEC’s test laboratory. This service is available to all customers world wide.

Helmut Gegenheimer, founder and managing director of OTEC quickly recognised the enormous potential of these new processes. Their range of applications has continued to expand through ongoing research and development. Over the years, OTEC has repeatedly been able to determine the correct processing media and calculate the right application parameters for an expanding range of materials, workpiece geometries and process objectives.
