About WS Wieländer+Schill
WS Wieländer+Schill GmbH & Co. KG develops and manufactures professional body repair special tools for vehicle repair. The portfolio includes riveting technology (XSeries), welding technology for resistance spot, gas metal arc and stud welding, cutting tools such as body saws, files, plasma cutters and the LaserCutter, as well as dent removal technology, paint equipment accessories, workshop equipment, workstation systems and high-voltage equipment for electric and hybrid vehicles. The programme is complemented by a repair service, spare parts catalogue, loaner devices and the WSEngineering development department, which develops customised repair solutions in cooperation with automotive manufacturers; more than 60 own patents attest to this development activity. Founded in 1974 in Villingen-Schwenningen, the company is today based in Tuningen (Baden-Württemberg). Sales in Germany are handled by its own field sales force, and abroad by around 170 distributors in approximately 80 countries. Customers include body and accident repair shops, workshops and automotive manufacturers such as BMW, Tesla and Ford, for whose vehicles specific tool boxes and rivet sets are offered.

Materials and Processes
Steel
Base material for welding, cutting and dent removal tools, including high-, ultra- and mega-high-strength steels such as Usibor, BTR, TRIP and ZSTE.
Aluminium
Machining with cutting tools, riveting systems and welding technology, also in aluminium-steel mixed construction.
Stainless steel (V2A)
Used as weld sheets for spot welding thin aluminium sheets and for cutting wire.
Cast
Machining of cast parts with the WPS 4000 LV body saw.
GRP / composites
Cutting of composite and hybrid materials such as aluminium-steel-GRP with bi-metal saw blades.
CFRP
Extraction of CFRP fine dust with explosion-protected mobile extraction stations (Zone 22).
Plastic (PP, nylon, EPDM)
Material for polypropylene tool cases, nylon helmet shells and plastic repair in the workshop.
Copper
Material for spot welding electrodes and copper-plated weld studs.
Brass
