About VS Sondermaschinenbau
VS Sondermaschinenbau GmbH, based in Geisingen/Gutmadingen, develops, designs and installs special machinery, tools and fixtures, with a focus on laminating and edge-wrapping technology in automotive interior manufacturing. The portfolio includes pre-fixing fixtures with milled seam blades, edge-wrapping tools (including for roof windows/sunroofs), press laminating tools, assembly fixtures and systems, embossing systems as well as adhesive application systems for dispersion or hotmelt. Materials processed are primarily leather, imitation leather, Alcantara, Dinamica, carpet and fabric. In addition to design in 3D CAD including pneumatic and electrical drawings, the company offers robot applications, PLC programming, as well as assembly, delivery and on-site commissioning; CAD-CAM individual parts are manufactured with partners. In its own Technikum_2, a high-resolution Keyence 3D printer AGILISTA 3200w (inkjet technology with UV curing) is available, with which prototypes, feasibility studies and small series are produced — also as contract manufacturing for customers. Reference customers include BMW, Porsche, Dräxlmaier, Grammer and other automotive suppliers.
