About CFM Schiller GmbH
Founded in 1978, CFM Schiller GmbH develops and manufactures vibration-isolated systems, clamping technology, test bench components and complete mechanics for static and dynamic testing systems. Through its own manufacturing center in Roetgen, the company also offers contract manufacturing: plasma cutting and oxy-fuel cutting of large plates up to 150 t, robot-assisted and manual welding (MIG/MAG, TIG, electrode) for steel, stainless steel and aluminium, CNC milling of workpieces up to 10,000 x 3,300 x 1,500 mm and 40 t, CNC and conventional turning, automatic deburring, vibration stress relieving of assemblies up to 200 t as well as painting in an in-house paint booth. Customer segments include the automotive industry, aerospace, rail, agricultural technology, wind power, general mechanical engineering as well as universities and testing institutes. CFM Schiller GmbH manufactures and installs worldwide, with subsidiaries in the USA, China and India as well as sales partners in Europe, America and Asia. Designs are engineered in-house using FEM analyses and the systems are commissioned with certification.

Quality Management
Quality and environmental management have been based on ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 since 2008. Inspection is carried out through operator self-inspection up to final acceptance by the quality department, using classical length metrology as well as tactile and optical measuring equipment (Keyence XM systems); 3.1 material certificates are provided on request.
