Contract manufacturing for precision parts made of sheet metal and metal
FBT FEINBLECHTECHNIK GmbH is a contract manufacturer for precision parts made of sheet metal and metal based in Koblach, Vorarlberg. Since 2001, the company has produced individual parts, prototypes and series for customers in mechanical and plant engineering, aerospace, medical technology as well as electronics and electrical engineering. Eleven processes run under one roof: for cutting, laser cutting, waterjet cutting and etching technology; for forming and joining, press brake, swivel bending and spot welding; for surfaces, brushing, vibratory finishing, polishing and laser marking, complemented by milling technology for aluminium and other metals. In this way, a component often passes through several work steps within the same company, saving transport between suppliers. Materials processed include aluminium, steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, galvanized steel, sheet metal and plastic articles. Quality assurance is certified to ISO 9001 and accompanies production from goods receipt through first-article inspection to series inspection.

Materials and processes
Aluminium
Light weight and easy to form; pronounced springback when bending, the key material for milling.
Steel (unalloyed and low-alloy)
High strength and low springback when bending; very well suited to spot welding.
Stainless steel (chromium steel)
Corrosion-resistant with a high-quality surface; spot-weldable with adjusted parameters and can be marked with high contrast via annealing marking.
Copper
Soft and easy to form, frequently used for electrical engineering and decorative applications.
Brass
Soft and easy to form, often used for electrical engineering and decoration.
Galvanized steel
Well suited to spot welding; the zinc layer influences surface resistance and electrode wear.
Sheet metal (thin-walled)
Enables delicate geometries and requires sensitive machine handling when bending.
Plastic articles
Permanently marked by laser marking through a color change in the material.
