Typical applications:
  • Front panels for test benches and measurement technology – precision-engineered, clearly labelled, and built for continuous operation
  • Control panels for control and test systems – ready for installation and produced close to series production
  • Nameplates for prototype devices – durable, high-contrast and compliant with standards
  • Enclosure components for demo and presentation models – premium anodized finish, visually impressive
  • Adapter plates and functional prototypes – precisely manufactured for development and testing environments
Why Schaeffer AG?
Whether prototype or series production – we deliver what matters in automotive engineering
Short cycles. High standards. No time for fuss. We provide tailored solutions for the automotive industry that meet the most demanding requirements. We supply front panels, enclosures and machined components that fit precisely and are robust enough to perform reliably in continuous operation – with the highest manufacturing accuracy and maximum durability.
Typical industry challenges:
  • High time pressure during the development phase
  • Need for single parts with series-level quality
  • Visually refined components for presentations
  • Markings must be abrasion-resistant and compliant with standards
  • Repeatability and reorderability are essential
Our response:
Our high-precision CNC production delivers aluminium components at industrial quality – available as single parts or in small batches. UV printing or engraving ensures abrasion-resistant, high-contrast and permanently legible markings – ideal for test rigs, prototypes or demonstration units. Anodized surfaces in your chosen colour enhance both durability and visual appeal. CAD data can be imported directly – ensuring precise implementation and easy post-processing.
