The WASSERMANN PERFORMANCE CENTER
Developing technology. Rethinking manufacturing.

With the WASSERMANN Performance Center, we are creating an environment in which high-precision manufacturing, automation and process reliability are consistently combined.

The aim is not only to develop new technologies, but also to test them under real production conditions, optimize them and make them tangible.

The focus is on building a state-of-the-art production facility – from the clean room environment and high-performance machining technologies to innovative automation solutions for workpieces and tools. Every investment follows a clear objective: maximum efficiency, reproducible quality and maximum scalability.

The Performance Center is therefore not just a production area, but also a development, demonstration and decision-making space – for us and for our customers.

In addition to automation on the workpiece side, the automation of cutting tools is also a key lever for efficient, highly automated production processes.

The development of TOOL-L is a world first in the field of tool provision. The high-density tool storage system is designed as a compact tool terminal and enables maximum packing density with minimum space requirements – ideal for automated production environments with high demands on availability and cost-effectiveness.

The linear design ensures a particularly small footprint and allows space-saving storage and provision of a large number of cutting tools. TOOL-L has been specifically developed for short set-up times, high process stability and easy integration into existing production and automation concepts.

TOOL-L is currently in the development phase. The prototype has already been presented at a trade fair; the next step is installation and commissioning at the WASSERMANN Performance Center. This will create a real development and demonstration environment in which customers will be able to experience tool automation live in production use in the future.

The development is being carried out as part of the MODUS research and development project, co-financed by the Hessian ERDF. The aim is to further develop a modular, multifunctional intralogistics system that increases productivity, reduces energy consumption and saves valuable production space.

With TOOL-L, the Performance Center becomes a testing ground for a new generation of tool automation – practical, scalable and future-oriented.

The next milestone on the road to ultra-modern production is the targeted expansion of our milling capacities.

With the installation of a new DMC 160 U 5-axis milling center, we are creating the basis for the precise complete machining of large, complex workpieces. The machine expands our possibilities, particularly where high component weights, large dimensions and demanding geometries come together.

The milling center is deliberately designed so that it can be optimally combined with downstream automation solutions. Large traverse paths, high load capacities and a stable machine structure enable economical machining even with heavy components and form the technical basis for future process automation.

The new milling center is therefore not just an expansion of the machine park, but a central component for scalable, future-proof production processes at the Wassermann Performance Center.
