About IB-U Sondermaschinen
IB-U Sondermaschinen GmbH from Zella-Mehlis in Thuringia specialises in special machinery construction and offers new designs, modification designs as well as new construction and conversion of production systems from a single source. One focus is balancing technology: the company develops and manufactures horizontal, vertical and universal balancing machines, including the KKT-SM series up to 20 kg rotor weight with a patented universal balancing principle and amagnetic construction. In addition, a contract balancing service is offered for workpieces between 0.1 kg and 500 kg; heavier workpieces are handled via a partner network. The portfolio also includes spindle units and drilling heads, clamping technology, measuring and testing equipment, workpiece transport, contract manufacturing, retrofits of balancing machines (e.g. Hofmann, Schenck) as well as repairs and overhauls. Via the Daimler platform, the company provides MTM analyses and creates tool and process plans. Customers come mainly from mechanical engineering and the automotive industry.
