Swiss precision metrology: air gauging systems, inductive probes and automated measuring benches with repeatability down to 0.1 µm.
PFL Group (PFL ANTRALUX SA)
Le Landeron (CH)New on Amplifa
Precision metrology from Switzerland since 1970
The PFL Group, headquartered in Le Landeron (Switzerland), has been developing and manufacturing precision metrology equipment for dimensional metrology since 1970. The portfolio includes pneumatic air gauging systems for bores and shafts from Ø0.01 mm with repeatability down to 0.1 µm, the PRETEC inductive probes (Ø8 mm, ball-bearing guided, switchable between half/full bridge) and the ROBOTAST parallel-guidance system for semi- and fully automatic measuring fixtures. In addition, group companies offer automated measuring benches and turnkey systems including concept, feasibility study, design, production, assembly and installation, as well as measurement and control software with SPC data acquisition and production monitoring. On 6,000 m² of production space with more than 50 CNC machines, precision components are also machined. The systems are used, among others, in the automotive, hydraulics, aerospace, machine tool, electronics, medical technology and watchmaking industries. The quality management system is TÜV-certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015; calibration is performed in-house or partner-certified with full traceability. The group comprises PFL ANTRALUX, ECK-Conceils and Pretek doo Belgrade.
