Since the firm FIX Maschinenbau GmbH firm became a part of the USK Karl Utz Sondermaschinen GmbH in 2012, engineering activities have continued in order to prepare us to be competitive on the emerging market in the automated mass production of fuel cell systems.

Ranges of activity:

• Handling of graphite and metallic bipolar plates
• Application of seals to bipolar plates
• Feeding, stacking, aligning and screwing of fuel cells to stacks
• Handling of seals and membranes that are not bend-proof
• Testing technologies (leakage tests, electrical tests)
• Design for assembly and automation
• Technologies and scalable equipment concepts, from manual small batches up to fully automated large volume manufacturing

The better we know our customers’ products, the higher the quality of our engineering results. It is a pleasure for us to support you in conceptual design, engineering and industrial implementation of the technologies tailored to your product (PEM, SOFC, DMFC).

Don’t hesitate to contact us.
