Magnet engineering & customised solutions: We develop and produce your magnet systems

Precision from the idea to series production

Anyone can do standard - we love a challenge and develop magnetic systems, customised solutions or assemblies that fit your application exactly. As inventors and manufacturers, we develop customised magnetic solutions where standard products reach their limits.

Behind every successful magnetic system is a well thought-out engineering process. At Brugger, we combine decades of experience in magnet technology with state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies. We support you from the initial sketch through simulation to reliable series production.

Our special systems page will give you an impression of our development services.

For us, engineering means: We turn your idea into a technically tested solution ready for series production.

At our Hardt site, we accompany you through the entire development process:

Design: We plan your optimised magnetic system (CAD & design).
Solve: We develop the most efficient way for production
Prove: We guarantee through precise measurements that your solution will hold.

Reliable automation: high-precision production through robotics

For our customers, robotics means above all: consistent quality and attractive prices.

To bring your customised magnet systems into series production, we rely on state-of-the-art machinery with integrated robotics and automation. As inventors, we not only develop the product, but often also the appropriate automated production cell at the same time.

Fully automated assembly: Our robots carry out high-precision assembly and joining processes that would be virtually impossible to achieve with such consistency manually.
Intelligent sensor technology: Integrated camera systems and sensors monitor every movement in real time. This enables us to guarantee a 100 per cent good part rate directly in the line.
Scalability: Thanks to our automation expertise at the Hardt site, we realise projects ranging from small pre-series to fully automated production of millions.

For you, this means maximum process stability and competitiveness - developed and implemented by experts who know how to efficiently utilise automation for complex magnetic assemblies.

Precise laser marking: permanent labelling for the highest demands

Labelling BRUGGER magnet systems with the laser

A high-quality magnetic system deserves labelling that is just as durable as the product itself. With our state-of-the-art laser technology , we offer you precise and indestructible labelling directly in the production process.
Counterfeit protection & traceability: We permanently apply serial numbers, batch codes or DataMatrix codes to a wide variety of surfaces.
Customised branding: Whether company logos or specific component designations - our laser ensures a razor-sharp typeface that can withstand even extreme mechanical or chemical stress.
Non-contact finishing: Thanks to the laser-based process, the labelling is carried out without thermal or mechanical stress on the magnetic system, which means that the material properties are fully retained.
This integrated process step ensures that your components remain identifiable throughout the entire product life cycle - a key component of our comprehensive quality assurance at the Hardt site.

Innovative prototyping: rapid market entry through 3D printing

3D printer for prototypes and holding devices

Time is a decisive competitive factor. To shorten development cycles, we rely on additive manufacturing processes (3D printing).

Prototype construction: Rapid visualisation and functional testing of your components.
Fixture construction: Customised aids for efficient production.
Flexibility: Fast customisation before the start of mass production.

3D printing plays a decisive role in development at BRUGGER. It is used to produce customised, complex and high-performance samples and prototypes. It is also used to produce tooling and manufacturing aids. Advances in 3D printing technology enable us to manufacture products with impressive precision and flexibility.

Further advantages of 3D printing:

Products can be customised and improved quickly and efficiently throughout the development cycle
Low material costs for prototyping

Validation on the test bench: certified measurement procedures for maximum safety

Trust is good, measurement data is better. In our in-house test laboratory, our developers and quality assurance staff subject your magnet systems to the most stringent load tests in order to guarantee the specified properties under real conditions.

Salt spray test for accelerated corrosion testing

Ocean feeling for our magnetic systems!
Corrosion resistance is a decisive quality and safety feature for many of our products. In our own salt spray chamber, we analyse the effects of salt spray on the rubber coatings and surfaces of our magnet systems. The salt spray test (in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9227 (NSS test)) is a standardised test for evaluating the corrosion protection effect of organic coatings, metallic coatings and chemical or physical surface treatments.

The test is carried out in accordance with various standards. The test objects are placed under standardised conditions in a test chamber in which a sprayed salt solution acts on the test objects. The special test chamber and the standardised conditions guarantee correct and reliable measurement results for our quality controls.
The salt spray test is carried out and monitored continuously until the specified test duration is reached. At BRUGGER, the test duration is usually 1000 hours. At the end of the test duration, the corrosion phenomena that have occurred on the test specimens are assessed, for example according to the degree of rust, blistering and corrosive infiltration of organic coatings.

Magnet measurement technology: Precise validation of magnetic characteristics and load capacity

Fluxmeter measurement:
Using state-of-the-art fluxmeters and Helmholtz coils, we measure the magnetic flux and the magnetic moment. This guarantees a constant magnetic quality throughout series production.

Adhesive force measurement:
We use precise test setups and measuring devices to determine the exact release or tear-off forces of your magnetic assemblies. This is how we ensure that the mechanical holding power exactly fulfils your requirements.
