Tooling and measurement technology
Custom technology
for compound, magnet and plastic part production
Development of custom production and inspection technology
Efficient processes and high product quality require the right technology for every customer-specific product. That is why the Max Baermann Group develops, designs and builds product-specific tooling for the manufacture of permanent magnets and plastic parts as well as measuring and test stations for qualifying permanent magnets.
Our custom-built measuring stations and test fixtures help to validate relevant product properties as early as the development phase and to check them reliably in production later on. The product-specific tooling we design also enables particularly precise and economical series production of your products.

Tooling: development of product-specific manufacturing technology
Where required, the Max Baermann Group develops specifically designed tooling for the series production of custom magnets or plastic parts, because product-specific tooling is an important building block for product quality later.
The tool development process therefore begins with consulting on tooling technology and the application. Our experienced designers implement customer-specific requirements in close coordination with research, development and toolmaking. Modern CAD systems, internal standards, CAM systems and high-quality manufacturing technology support the precise realization of individual tool components and complete injection molds.
The aim is tooling that matches the geometry, function, material selection and planned series production. This makes it possible to transfer technical requirements into the manufacturing process, to prepare production ramp-ups reliably and to organize the servicing and maintenance of production tooling economically.
Measuring stations: precise test technology for product validation
The Max Baermann Group develops and builds its own measuring stations as specially designed test facilities in order to capture product properties under defined and reproducible conditions. These systems are used specifically for product validation, quality assurance and the verification of key functional characteristics of magnets.
When qualifying magnetic components, our measuring stations do not merely record individual field values but analyse the complete profile of the magnetic flux density across the relevant rotational or translational position. Depending on the measuring task, 1D Hall, 3D Hall or magnetoresistive (MR) sensors are used.
Numerous application-specific characteristic values are derived from the magnetic field curves and evaluated – including amplitudes, zero crossings, spatial flux gradient, uniformity of pole widths and pole spacing, phase positions, harmonic content and Fourier coefficients. Customer-specific evaluation algorithms also make it possible to assess complex magnetization structures and defined functional limits.
This makes it possible to assess the magnetic quality of a component specifically with regard to its later function and to ensure that magnet, sensor and application interact reliably.
Our measuring stations therefore form an important interface between development and series production and make a decisive contribution to reliable product quality.
