The decision for the GARANT Xtric system is the key for the future of the company
Kühberger Metalltechnik GmbH, founded in 2011 by Werner Kühberger and certified to DIN EN 1090, currently has a production area of approx. 1500 square metres and employees a staff of 44. The company run by Werner Kühberger and Christian Knödlseder believes that enthusiastic and motivated employees are a major asset. The company offers individual solutions from a single source – from prototypes to large series production. The use of the latest CNC technology allows even the most demanding requirements to be satisfied. In 2015 the company was awarded the “Best Start-up Company” prize for Lower Bavaria. The planning and execution of a variety of metalwork items such as balconies, staircases, terrace roofs, carports, fences etc. is as much part of our portfolio as machine systems, test bench fittings, safety cladding, acoustic cladding and complete turn-key installations for applications in special machine tools.

“No other dealer can offer competent advice and a product portfolio to match the service we receive from Hoffmann.”
Christian Knödlseder
A strong partner such as the Hoffmann Group is extremely important for the company, so that we can offer our clients consistently high quality and service. The long-standing relationship with Hoffmann and the intensive exchanges with the Application Technician Stefan Wanninger permit us to create a succession of innovative solutions in manufacturing.
A DMG milling machine has recently been equipped with ZeroClamp automation. The GARANT XTRIC will now be integrated into the automation solution. The gripper will automatically feed parts into the XTRIC centring vice and remove parts from it. Kühberger hopes that this will enable it to develop new markets, broaden its customer base and install further automated solutions.
At Kühberger the GARANT XTRIC is used both as a free-standing unit on a machine and also incorporated in a ZeroClamp automation system on another machine. Werner Kühberger and Christian Knödlseder have also tested the GARANT XTRIC and are enthusiastic.
“The GARANT XTRIC offers an unbeatable price-performance ratio which we have never previously encountered. New features such as the changing of jaws have absolutely convinced us.”
