Maschinenbau Böhmer GmbH: Foundry Automation and Innovative Spraying Technology

Maschinenbau Böhmer GmbH has shown impressive growth and development since it was founded in 1983 by Christoph Böhmer. Initially specialising in belt grinding machines and custom welding fixtures, the company ventured into the foundry industry in the late 1990s with its spraying technology. This market remains a core focus for the company today, where it has expanded significantly. In addition to die casting, new markets such as low-pressure casting, permanent mold casting and gravity casting have been successfully developed.

Notable customers include OEMs such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Ford, Renault, Honda, Nissan as well as Tier 1 suppliers such as Handtmann, Magna, KS HUAYU AluTech, ZF, Bohai Trimet, Martinrea Honsel, GF Casting Solutions, Gnutti Carlo Group.

Spray technology as a ready-to-use solution

Customised, ready-to-use spraying solutions tailored to specific customer applications are at the heart of Böhmer’s approach. Each project begins with a detailed simulation of the spraying process using customer-provided shape and component data, such as thermal images to identify heat hotspots. Spray cones are projected onto the mold, defining dimensions, spray circuits, spray heads, and their arrangement.

This approach minimizes commissioning time and provides customers with confidence in the solution. The modular, pipe-free tool design ensures flexibility and supports the integration of various nozzle types on the same tool. Quick-change couplings allow tool-less set-up and reconfiguration.

 

The ability to offer complete robotic spraying systems independent of the robot manufacturer ensures flexibility and seamless integration.


These systems combine robots, spraying tools, and control systems in a single package. Commissioning and application-specific programming further optimizes the system for customer-specific requirements.

The success factor: Microspraying

The foundry industry faces significant challenges that require innovative solutions. Microspraying technology delivers measurable improvements in productivity, efficiency and sustainability.

      Key benefits include:

  • Shorter cycle times

  • Extended mold life

  • Reduced media consumption and wastewater generation

For many years, Böhmer Maschinenbau has worked closely with customers and release agent manufacturers to develop sophisticated clamping force-independent hybrid and microspraying processes with accordingly release agent supply. Flexible tool design, in-house manufacturing capabilities and detailed simulations are critical components of these advanced solutions.
