We are a Team

70 employees (as of 2014) benefit from continuous training courses and bring their expertise into the company.

WE DEVELOP AND GROW THROUGH OUR DEMAND

SONTEC Sensorbau GmbH develops special sen-sors for different industries. From Solar Tech-nology to Heating Engineering, Medical Engi-neering to Laboratory Equipment as well as Apparatus Engineering, from the Food & Phar-maceutical Industry to Mechanical Engineering.

What is the secret of our success? thanks to our extraordinary in-house production line that allows us flexibility during the whole production process. We are therefore able to respond individually to our clients requirements with the modular conception of all our products. therefore, we are always making use of the newest technologies to suite our clients needs.

Modular variety is always more important to us than the classical individual solution - whether referring to mechanical components and assem-blies or to the hardware and software of active sensors. Be inspired by our various technologies!

some sensors need special treatment! We provide high-quality manufacturing with several methods for surface refinements, e.g. turning, welding, polishing, coating and electropolishing.

Our technical diversity makes it possible:

• turned parts in stainless steel, non-ferrous metals (non-ferrous heavy metals and light alloys) and plastic material• Welded assemblies in stainless steel• Coatings in PFA, EtFE and PEEK• Laser welding, tIG-welding, plasma arc welding and spot welding• surface refinements: sandblasting, smoothing, burring, polishing

Convince yourself and have a look at our large product range on the following pages:

We focus on technique

Turned parts and milled parts are manufactured with the aid of up to date CNC-technology.Robots of the latest gener-ation increase productivity and ensure high-quality workflows.

We radiate with work

Surfaces are refined or prepared for further treatment by means of sandblasting with different abrasives.

We are heat proof

Laser welding allows a selective handling of the material – for perfect weld seams and excellent durability.

We bring surfaces to perfection

The surface becomes corrosion resistant or anti-adherent due to high-quality coatings.
