P.01
Spec sheet
We listen, ask, sharpen the detail. Anything unclear is settled before design, not after acceptance.
Special-purpose machines
When the
standard isn't enough.
We build special-purpose machines for automation tasks. From spec sheet to accepted machine: mechanics, electrics, software and service in-house. Also for applications far outside classic metal forming.
Approach
How a project
runs.
The people who write the specification with you will later see the machine run. Design, build and commissioning stay in one pair of hands.
P.02
Design
Mechanics and electrics from our own design office. PLC program and visualisation on top, tailored to the machine. No third party in engineering.
P.03
Manufacturing & build
Our own milling centre, our own control-cabinet shop, our own assembly. What we don't make ourselves goes to trusted suppliers.
P.04
Commissioning
Whoever builds it runs it up. Service and spare parts from the same house, across the entire life cycle.
Examples
What we've
already built.
A selection from Eckardt practice. All systems built to specification, all in-house.
S.01
Hydrophobization for drywall
Wetting system for fibre-cement / drywall boards. 3.4 m spray chamber, parts up to 650 × 650 mm at 20–60 mm thickness, with a belt filter for the hydrophobizing agent. Entirely outside metal forming.
S.02
Spray system for plastering trowels
The trowels run on transport rollers through an enclosed spray chamber. Spray head with rotary plate and brush seal, pressure vessel in the base frame. A tool for the trades, entirely outside metal forming.
S.03
Blade preservation
EOS1-300 with two oil types and reversing operation. The blade carrier runs through the system forward and back. Single-sided oiling with high repeatability for cutting-tool manufacturers.
S.04
Copper-tube oiling with drying
EOS 1 for six copper-tube nominal sizes. Spray nozzles adjustable in height and pass direction, three nozzles per tube. Drying unit with 16 cross-flow fans. EODA extraction integrated.
S.05
Hydroforming spray systems
For internal high-pressure forming. Parts fed by robot, 1,200 × 1,200 mm oiling area, spray bars on a cassette system. Integrated into existing bending and press lines.
S.06
Oil dipping system with lift tables
Two dipping stations with dipping baskets, oil bath and conveyor. Four lift tables bring the parts to an ergonomic working height; operation via terminals on the enclosure.
S.07
Spray system for a production line
Stainless-steel spray chamber with conveyor belt and extraction, integrated into the roller conveyor of the customer's line. Own control cabinet with Siemens HMI. Design, build and commissioning from one source.
S.08
Tool-lubrication EDS
Metering system with 6× tool-lubrication valves, each valve individually controllable via the visualisation and storable in recipe management. Plus a roller-oiler connection for strip feed.
S.09
Change-roller twin system
Two WF110-WG-DH in series on a feed console with a cascade tank for 2 oil types in parallel. Double-stroke pneumatics.
Range
Small to
large.
We build the felt oiler for tea-bag wire and the combined line for outer-body-panel production in the press shop. And we build systems for tasks that don't fit the oiling pattern: wetting, hydrophobization, dip preservation. Whatever makes sense to build as a special-purpose machine, we build.
B.01
Small systems
Compact special tasks, from a simple felt oiler to a mechatronic module for on-site integration.
B.02
Large systems
Combined lines with coil system, brush cleaning, oiling and preservation in one line. Up to 4500 mm strip width. Press-line ready for global OEMs.
B.03
Special tasks
When the task fits no category: design from a sketch. We develop what can't be bought anywhere, provided it's cleanly solvable in engineering terms.
Why Eckardt
What's in the spec
is later there on the machine.
W.01
Honestly costed
We are not the cheapest supplier. In return, there are no surprises at acceptance, neither in price nor in function.
W.02
Short distances
More than 30 employees. You speak directly with design and management when it matters.
W.03
Commissioning from one source
Commissioning by the build team. Service and spare parts from the same house. If something needs changing, the answer comes straight from the design engineer.

Let's talk about
your task.
A sketch, a specification or an open question. We review it and come back with feasibility, effort and a price range. If the project isn't a fit for us, we'll say so.
