About Cerning & Stoepel
Cerning & Stoepel GmbH is a CNC machining company located in Bochum-Wattenscheid, manufacturing precision turned and milled parts from all commercially available machinable materials, especially aluminium, steel, stainless steel, brass and plastics, exclusively on CNC-controlled machines. The range of services includes individual and prototype parts, small and large series as well as assemblies – from bar stock Ø6 to Ø80 mm with a length of 250 mm, as chuck parts up to Ø350 mm and 700 mm length on 4-axis turn-mill centres, as well as milled parts up to 550×450×250 mm on 5-axis and up to 1000×800×850 mm on 4-axis machining centres. As a full-service provider, the company additionally offers development and design engineering, welding in aluminium and steel, laser marking and surface finishing. In addition to contract manufacturing, the company is a manufacturer of coolant filters (CS-Powerfilter) for CNC machines as well as motorcycle accessories (Rairotec). Customers come from high-voltage technology, plant and mechanical engineering, pump and valve engineering, equipment manufacturing, automation technology, medical and laboratory technology as well as test and fixture engineering. Production is carried out according to drawings, samples, DIN standards or individual agreement.
