“Our Prototyping Department is very specialised and yet very flexible,” says Hubert Hueber, who is Group Manager of the Protoyping Department and responsible for Chassis Systems Control. Process development and the construction of special machines and prototypes help maintain and expand the company’s essential know-how. With some of these systems, Immenstadt takes a step to the side from running the series production lines. Situated in the middle of the delightful Allgäu countryside, the Immenstadt factory complex produces anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability programmes (ESP), ignition coils and electronic sensors for driving safety and fuel injection systems on series production lines and as prototypes. The Metrology Team tackles its tasks in the prototyping department there using a high-precision Leitz Reference Xi. And continues to throw down new challenges to quality management – also at the Robert Bosch Works, Immenstadt. This doctrine of the designers leads to ever-tighter tolerances on vehicle components.

Small but very capable components are in great demand in the motor-vehicle industry.
