We congratulate Timothy Luchsinger on his apprenticeship diploma and the good performance!
He came to our company via Iibs Industrielle Berufslehren Schweiz and completed his internship with us at SKS AG Kunststoffe & Werkzeugbau.
We wish him all the best for the future and would also like to thank his trainer David Niederöst and Jeanine Weissenbach on behalf of the entire set-up team!
This year in 2022 we have taken delivery of two injection moulding machines, bringing our total to 45. The characteristics of precise mould closure and very precise injection were important arguments for the purchase of the two injection moulding machines from Netstal. With these machines we follow our philosophy of producing very small complex parts with great precision. Both machines are fully electric and, together with the Sepro 5-axis robot, enable us to produce series efficiently with high repeatability to ensure the required quality in large quantities. The highly automated packaging systems allow us to store the parts in a sorted and gentle manner and, if necessary, to produce at weekends without personnel.
As an ISO 14'000 certified company, we always strive to invest in the latest technologies and to produce in an energy and environmentally friendly way. This is why the fully servo motor-controlled machines are a perfect fit for our company.
In November 2022, we were able to take delivery of our new Hermle precision 5-axis milling machine in the tool shop. It has a traverse path of 650 x 650 x 500 mm and a disturbance circle of Ø 840 mm. The machine can be loaded with 1000 kg and has a tool storage of 86. The spindle with a speed of 25'000 enables us to produce the workpieces efficiently. With this new machine we would like to remain true to our principle that a good plastic injection moulding company operates a modern and technologically advanced mould shop.
We can only produce the parts for our customers as good as the moulds are. Therefore, we continue to invest in our in-house mould construction in order to be constantly up to date.
SKS AG will be at the Swiss Plastics Expo at the Lucerne Exhibition Centre from 17 to 19 January 2023. We look forward to seeing you and will be happy to treat you to some snacks and drinks at stand A-1000.

Our previous surface grinding machine is getting on in years and has therefore been replaced in the last few days by this new Ziersch Z48 surface grinding machine. With it, we can cover a grinding range of 800 mm on 500 mm with a transverse movement of 450 mm. The solid cast construction of all machine parts brings stability, precision and a maximum possible table load of up to 700 kg. Operation is via a large 10.4 inch touch screen colour display. The sanding machine works much faster than the previous one and is also state-of-the-art in terms of safety and environment. The entire working area of the machine is enclosed and the exhaust air is extracted and filtered.
This surface grinding machine is a further step in the future-oriented investments at SKS AG Kunststoffe & Werkzeugbau.
