Research and development

Always at the pulse: KH maintains its own R & H department in order to provide our customers with innovative processes. Innovative surfaces and the integration of functionalities in plastic components are always the center of interest, as is process reliability. Our inventiveness has been awarded the TecPart prize on numerous occasions.

Capacitive operation

Printed conductor paths with applied electronic components open new dimensions with the integration of electronics in 3D-shaped components.

  1. Window regulator with touch function
  2. Safety-relevant two-finger operation
  3. Haptic feedback
  4. Sealed surfaces

KH Touchball

Ein Dodekaeder gilt als der perfekte platonische Körper. Gleich zwei Stück ziehen an unseren Messeständen die Aufmerksamkeit an. Wie von Zauberhand schwebt einer der Zwölf-Flächner im Raum und ist Sinnbild für die zukunftsträchtigen Oberflächentechnologien, wie sie KH realisiert. Von Black- und White-Panel-Technologie und Verschwinde-Effekten über lackierte, beheizte und kapazitive Oberflächen bis zu diversen Folientechnologien. Und es bleibt längst nicht bei Optik und Haptik. Der zweite „Touchball“ lädt zum Berühren und Aktivieren von Licht und Wärme ein. Dazu bestückten wir die 3D-Designoberflächen mit kapazitiver Sensorik, integrierter Elektronik und haptischem Feedback. Als Head of Technical Sales ist das Erspüren von Trends die Aufgabe von Thomas Ruff: „Wir zeigen was heute und in Zukunft möglich ist.“

Engineering

To ensure the medical product complies exactly with specifications, KH assists with the development of mechanical and housing components. Existing designs are optimized for conversion into plastic.

 

Tooling

Micro injection molding tools and those for articles with more volumes are produced on our premises. Multi-component technology, filling simulations, CAD, CAM, CNC: All paths are short and efficient.

 

(Clean room) Injection molding

Micro injection molding plants with clean room facilities produce minute plastic parts with a part weight of just 0,004 grams and 0,1 millimeter wall thickness. We can also do it larger of course.

Full Service

Whether it be for single-use or reusable products: Due to our high production profundity, we are the ideal systems supplier for large volumes as well as international projects.

(Clean room) Assembly

In class 8 clean rooms, experienced employees at European production locations perform complex assemblies, under microscopes as well.

Sterilization

To you, ready and done. For articles requiring a particular process step such as sterilization, we take over the organization with external services and the logistics.

Resourceful inventors

You have a challenge for our R & D team? Let’s talk about it.

CoolBrush

Cold and silver, that must be metal. No, it’s CoolBrush, a process developed by KH to emulate metal surfaces. Would you like to feel it?

Heatable IML components

For exterior parts with integrated camera, radar or lidar systems, the surface requires to be free of ice very quickly. Heatable IML components offer the ideal solution for these challenges.

Antimicrobial surfaces

Surfaces that are touched by many can transfer germs. An antimicrobial feature prevents this. We would be happy to inform you about the various processes.

Glass encapsulation

A genuine dream team: highly transparent glass and flexible, malleable plastic. KH positions freely floating glass plates fully automatically into the tool and encapsulates them on the narrow side. The result is a type of lense with “window frames”. With the newly developed technology, previously unrealizable applications are now made possible.
