CNC mechanical processes

Mechanical manufacturing at A.S.T. is specialized on chip-removal machining using the latest CNC lathes and milling centers. In addition to prefabrication for force-measurement and weighing technology, our manufacturing technologies and assembly services are used by numerous partners.

Our range of services encompasses the development and manufacturing of partial and complete solutions as well as support from our in-house customer-services team. This includes machined parts from fast prototyping to series manufacturing for research and industry, also in special materials, as well as design consulting for development and production.

We are ISO 9001:2015 certified.
