KARCOMA IS YOUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER AND SYSTEM SUPPLIER FOR ALL INDUSTRIES
Always consider development and production together.
We develop holistically designed integrated hybrid assemblies that are economical, reliable and future-proof. Reduced complexity, the use of modern technologies and process-reliable manufacturing with 100% inspection result in robust, scalable solutions with less assembly effort, lower costs and high functional reliability.
Functional integration
By combining several individual functions (such as connection, sealing, guidance and venting), we can create a compact assembly.
This is achieved by integrating additional media lines and seals directly in the injection-moulding process, overmoulding metallic functional elements and optimally coordinating all functions with one another.
Example to date
Many individual components

Integrated module
Reduction of individual parts
An assembly consists of many individual parts that are combined into a compact, function-integrated module. The goal is design simplification through meaningful standardisation, fewer connections and a clear focus on function, reliability, and efficient manufacturing and assembly.
Result:
Fewer parts, fewer interfaces – this reduces costs and complexity and increases reliability.
Reduction of assembly effort
Several manual assembly steps are eliminated at the customer, as we supply a pre-assembled and tested assembly. Pre-assembly and functional testing, integrated connecting elements and a plug-and-play interface simplify integration into the production line.

Many assembly steps

Series production processes through redesign and automation
Manual processes cause quality fluctuations, high effort and limited scalability. Therefore, we reassess the assembly holistically and design it for stable, efficient series production processes – with modern manufacturing and automation technologies, fully automated assembly, integrated 100% functional testing, and the use of external specialist expertise.
Result:
Fewer parts, fewer interfaces – this reduces costs and complexity and increases reliability.
