Home > Solutions and expertise to meet your needs: Bachofen Engineering
As a rule, manufacturers come under a lot of pressure in terms of time, costs and innovations. And on top of that, they are faced with consistently high customer expectations when it comes to quality, precision and the operational safety of machinery. But why tackle all this alone? The Bachofen Engineering team is at your service and willing to take on any challenge.
In mechanical engineering, effectiveness and efficiency are key prerequisites to achieving reasonable returns and remaining competitive. However, there are hurdles that must be overcome in a cost-effective way in order to meet those prerequisites.
For example, the procurement of various different individual components is time-consuming and ties up staff. In some sectors, there are also special requirements that cannot be adequately met (if at all) using standard products. In such situations, customised solutions are required, which may result in capacity being overstretched. There is often simply a requirement for compact, multifunctional, smart and ready-to-install assemblies that include all necessary actuators and sensors.
For these and many other tasks, the Bachofen Engineering team is at your service. The team was established more than 40 years ago and is made up of experienced engineers and manufacturers. They are familiar with the needs of mechanical engineers and they speak your language. Over the course of the last 40 years, the Bachofen Engineering team has developed hundreds of innovative solutions. It provides comprehensive support to customers, from providing fresh impetus during brainstorming sessions to supplying ready-to-install, fully tested solutions in the form of special components and assemblies.
When monitoring machinery, processes, actions or user behaviour, speed and clarity are paramount. The most efficient medium for these purposes is light. With its new WLS27 Pro-lights that are...
Some machine manufacturers are still hesitant when it comes to relocating controllers into the field, even though the benefits of decentralization are very clear. The CODESYS-3 controller TBEN-Lx-PLC from...
With the TBEN-S, TBEN-L and FEN20 fieldbus modules, Turck is opening up new possibilities for machine and plant manufacturers. Each device on a network can be reached via an...
A linear guide should take up minimal space but also deliver maximum performance. This contradiction inevitably leads to compromises when evaluating the options. But this is now a thing...

There are many aspects to the safety of machines, plant and vehicles. However, designers and operators have more important things to do than be setting up an evaluation process...
Is the tool suitable for the next processing step and when is the next service due? This information is crucial for ensuring that manufacturing runs smoothly with no long...
Many operating faults in machinery and systems go undetected until the process itself starts to falter. If the operation was permanently monitored, any functional faults that were about to...
Need to disconnect fluid connections quickly, cleanly and without any tools? Then look no further than the Rectus couplings from Parker. Parker has the right coupling for every conceivable...
In the world of Industry 4.0, modularity is gaining increasing importance in the manufacture of machinery and systems. This development is also promoting the decentralisation of I/Os and control...
Machine are carrying out increasingly complex functions and are increasingly networked, reflecting Industry 4.0. This also results in higher demands on the optical sensors. The future lies in LED...
When speed is required, conventional ball screws quickly reach their limits. Traditional types have a DN value of between 60,000 and 120,000. THK’s new BSM ball screw exceeds these...
Compressed air is expensive. One cubic meter can easily cost 10 to 20 Swiss centimes. Too much to waste. Flow sensors from EGE with IO Link display leakages immediately...
The ability of measurement and control systems to communicate is of central importance to the safe operation of systems. Electric actuators from Valpes can be configured and controlled using...
High-performance machine guarantee a high level of productivity thanks to efficient production. This is compromised if an operating person is required to load and unload the machine. DENSO robots...
Finding space- and time-saving solutions is becoming increasingly important in equipment manufacturing. This applies to all areas of the process. Parker has enhanced the Carstick® push-in cartridge for the...
Wireless networking is a key element of Industry 4.0. It is, however, difficult to implement in industrial environments. Until now, interference and long distances have affected the wireless transfer...
Inductive sensors, for applications in special machine engineering and other demanding fields, should ideally have high switching distances, be compact and form a key element for reliable machine and...
Handling hot liquids can cause manufacturers to break out in a sweat, as it poses particular challenges for valve technology. That is why those who are able to keep...
Although ensuring machine safety often has no direct benefit on productivity, it is nonetheless too important to be ignored. Accidents involving personnel can have dramatic consequences for those affected...
Monitoring a process is one thing — displaying its status is another. To date, a separate device has been required for each of these two functions. Now, however, automation...
If the power supply to a machine or plant is in jeopardy, a whole host of other things can go wrong. The risk of interruptions and failures is particularly...
Measurements in micro dimensions can be too much for conventional sensors to handle. The range of measuring sensors available on the market is extremely small, especially in cases where...
The operation of compressed air systems is energy intensive. This makes it all the more important to constantly control the flow rate and, if necessary, take appropriate steps to...
Even though your workplace might be filled with the brightest minds, if the lighting isn't right, the risk of mistakes and quality losses increases enormously. What's more, outdated lamps...
Cleaning with compressed air is fast and effective. But what about the energy usage? Parker Legris compressed air blow guns are fully in line with the trend towards sustainable...
Work trips by engineers and service technicians can quickly become expensive. And it takes quite a while before the maintenance is completed or the machine defect is repaired. We...
Before a drive gives up the ghost, it usually emits calls for help in the form of vibrations and overheating. But these are all in vain if they go...
Studies show the about half of compressed air in industrial plants is lost ineffectively. Evidently, the handling of this operating supply is not very tightly monitored. However, rapidly rising...
For many applications, the use of high-precision sensor technology is of critical importance. However, there are also many areas in which expensive technologies miss the mark. With its new...
