About KS-Präzisionstechnik
KS-Präzisionstechnik GmbH & Co. KG is a tool and mould making company in Aurich (East Frisia), founded in 2004. The company designs and manufactures injection moulds up to standard frame size 296 x 296 mm including special functions such as core-pull drives, spindle gearboxes and multi-parting levels as well as insert moulding. Production includes CNC machining (milling, turning, grinding), wire, sinker and start-hole EDM with accuracies below 0.01 mm in hardened steels and carbide, automation solutions including control technology, and contract manufacturing for the tool and machinery industry. In addition, moulded parts made of plastic film (PS, ABS, PET, PC, PVC) are produced by vacuum forming, and injection moulded parts up to 1,000 kN clamping force are produced together with partner companies, including tool maintenance and logistics. Customers come from the automotive, medical care, electronic devices, packaging and model-making sectors as well as manufacturing industry and the trades. The company also develops and markets its own products such as the elaxa cordless shear and the KS-Crimp 5kN crimping machine.
