Development & Design

Based on customer specifications, we develop the technically and economically appropriate solution for your application. First, our experienced employees translate your idea into an initial, rough functional model. The detailed design is then carried out based on this model.

Diversity is our strength

Over the past decades, we have acquired comprehensive expertise in the development and manufacture of individual parts and complete drive systems, so we don't have to reinvent the wheel every time. You benefit from this wealth of knowledge and experience, as well as our extensive solution expertise from countless applications, with every new development. Our own development team for customer-specific drives accompanies every project from specification to series production and ensures that the end result is technically and economically convincing.

Tools

With the help of state-of-the-art CAD and calculation software, highly accurate analysis methods, and our employees' decades of experience, we turn your idea into a functional prototype.
To achieve the best possible result, we pay the utmost attention to error prevention. Sources of error are identified at an early stage and potential weak points are eliminated. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is used as early as the development stage and is carried out continuously until the end of the prototype phase. All processes are certified according to the ISO 9001 quality standard.

Materials

With over 110 years of experience in metalworking and 50 years of pioneering spirit in plastic injection molding technology, the Franz Morat Group develops drive solutions that benefit from the advantages of both material groups. You benefit from the fact that we take the respective material properties into account at a very early stage of the project in terms of smooth running, weight reduction, fatigue strength, durability, and noise minimization.
