Technologies and Services
CNC-Machining Technology
We combine turning and milling technologies in one go on our turning/milling centres. Thus we achieve maximum shape and position tolerances for all machinable materials. Even free-form surfaces in hardened materials are part of our daily business.
Technologies and Services
CNC – Turning Technology
Where our competitors will simply walk away due to the requests for highest complexity and accuracy, H & W Quadflieg manufactures high-precision turned parts for you, starting from a diameter of 3 mm up to a diameter of 600 mm and up to one meter in length.
With its high-quality, cutting-edge machine park, H & W Quadflieg accomplishes reliably even the most challenging requirements in order to produce complex CNC turned parts that require utmost accuracy and precision.
Thanks to our wealth of experience from 60 years of tradition, H & W Quadflieg manufactures small and medium-sized series from 5 to 5000 pieces for you. With our high-quality, state-of-the-art machine park, we process workpieces based on almost all machinable materials. The processing of hardened materials is our excellent competence.
Technologies and Services
CNC – Milling Technology
H & W Quadflieg manufactures highly complex milled parts for you, starting from a few grams up to 250 kg. For complex CNC milled parts that demand extreme accuracy and precision, H & W Quadflieg uses 5-axis CNC machining centers. We mill free-formed surfaces 5-axis simultaneously and can also measure them. Form and position tolerances on 0.01 mm are our daily business. In addition, the H & W Quadflieg team is very experienced in milling hardened materials. H & W Quadflieg manufactures small and medium sized series from 5 to 5000 pieces, with a component weight starting from a few grams up to 250 kg with almost all machinable materials.

Markets & Applications
Mechanical engineering
Example: The headband of a roller coaster is a safety-relevant component. Criteria for the design of this part are maximum strength to reach maximum safety in high-speed load changes.
Robotics
Example: The high-precision valve block of a control system for a robot´s arm ensures maximum dimensional accuracy for smooth, continuous operations in three shifts.
Optical applications
Example: The deflection lever made of high-strength aluminum with an accuracy of 0.01 mm ensures for the optimal fit and functionality of your glasses.
Medical applications
Example: Thanks to its high dimensional accuracy, the gearbox housing of a high-frequency pump in medical applications ensures reliable and continuous operations even under the most demanding conditions.
Drive technology
Example: The magnetic carrier of a hybrid electric motor of a bus with more than 200 KW power is a central component of the high-performance drive technology for the future of electric mobility.
Chemical industry
Example: The titanium rotor pump is the heart of a high-performance pump for the precise passage of aggressive media in industrial applications. This can be achieved by the high abrasion-resistance and stiffness of the high-quality titanium component.
Aerospace
Example: Inserts made of high-strength stainless steel with complex geometry ensure the force guidance in complex composite fiber components, for aircraft interiors such as luggage racks or doors.
