About IGBS
IGBS Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG is a provider specializing in special-purpose machine building based in Echzell-Bingenheim in Hesse. The company evolved from an engineering office for contract design work active since 1994 and was founded in its current legal form in 2003. Its range of services includes mechanical design with 3D CAD, electrical design and control cabinet construction, PLC programming, and electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic development, production and assembly of individual parts, assemblies, fixtures and complete machines. This is complemented by FEM calculations and stress verification, measurement services with a flexibly deployable 3D coordinate measuring system Keyence WM 3000 (also on-site at the customer), reverse engineering via 3D scanning with processing as a 3D solid in STEP format, and 3D printing in PLA and composite materials. Own products include fiber laser marking machines up to 60 W, planetary cutting machines for cutting round semi-finished products to length in three sizes, as well as mechanics for PCB test machines and components for postal logistics. Customers include, among others, Gardien Europe GmbH and, as a cooperation partner, UNIFLEX Hydraulik.

Quality
Quality assurance is carried out, among other things, with a flexibly deployable 3D coordinate measuring system Keyence WM 3000, which is also used for measurement services on-site at the customer. Measurements include assemblies, assembly and test fixtures, measurements in machines, after assembly and after welding, compared against 3D CAD nominal data.
