Sheet metal working
Each year we use over 10,000 tonnes of steel in various thicknesses and table sizes.
Machines used to work sheet metal:
- 2D and 3D lasers
- Hydraulic presses
- Hydraulic press brakes
- Bending robots
- Milling and drilling machines
- Grinding robots
- Stamping and nibbling machines

Profile working
Whether A-pillars, B-pillars or reinforced roof structures on a cab, the right bent section gives the metal components of a chassis the necessary stability and rigidity.
With the latest tube bending and lasering machines, each year Fritzmeier works 2500 tonnes of section for safety cabs. Our project teams make full use of all optimization potential, from prototyping to tool-making to steel construction and final assembly.
Machines used to work section:
- Tube bending machines
- Tube lasering machines

Joining techniques
Mobile work machines are designed and built for heavy-duty use. Our joining techniques are specially designed to meet these demands. We weld manually as well as with robots. We have over 26 welding robots in our production facilities that join all parts with precision, around the clock. Other joining techniques we use are sheet metal bonding, with two robots.

Painting technology
The Fritzmeier Cab Group has painting lines at four locations, making it Europe’s leading cab maker as regards painting capacity. We operate special systems for alkaline cleaning followed by zinc phosphating on steel, ED and CED dip priming, and wet/powder coating for the final topcoat. We can also do extensive quality inspections in-house, like crosscut, gloss level, coat thickness, colour measurement, mandrel bend and salt spray testing. We use water-soluble, environment-friendly coatings. If desired by the customer, we can paint in many special colours and in lot sizes down to 1.
