KTL, finite element modeling, and functional design

Innovative technology for long-lasting surface protection, durability testing, and optimized functionality.

KTL + Finite Elemente + Functional Design

Cathodic dip coating (KTL)

This specialist surface treatment lays the foundations for long-lasting surface protection. PALFINGER’s Marburg and Lengau production facilities feature fully automated cathodic dip coating lines.

This treatment starts by degreasing and rinsing components before activating them, applying a zinc phosphate coating and then rinsing again. This is followed by passivation and a final rinsing step with ultra-pure water before the components undergo cathodic dip coating. Sophisticated robotic systems then finalize the process.

Finite element method

At EPSILON, we apply the finite element method to optimize our crane construction processes. We have deployed this state-of-the-art modeling technique for several years to refine all supporting elements made from fine-grain steel.

alt text

Functional Design

We develop every shape and detail based on function and practical application. Our designs follow a clear technical logic that ensures efficient, intuitive operation and high performance. This approach combines technical precision with a clean, functional aesthetic.
