System solutions: Individual, flexible and completely tailored to your requirements

The SERTO Project Engineering Team develops, optimises and produces individual system solutions with and for our customers. The spectrum is broad and ranges from simply curved tubes to complex assemblies. 

Thanks to the experience gained from numerous projects, the team provides expert advice and supports you from the initial enquiry through to series production.

Your project

Does your design team have an idea, but it’s at the beginning of product development and needs support? Or is it already in full swing, but you’re not yet completely satisfied and looking to optimise things? Or is your CAD data already set and ready, but you need a competent partner for realisation and production?

Whatever you have in mind, our range of services is geared to your needs and requirements. As a system supplier with our own production facilities, we can respond to customer wishes with flexibility.

Range of services

Manufacture to drawing

Manufacture to drawing

Implementation of a component or system solution: 1-to-1 in accordance with your ideas

Possible from STEP file, drawing or sample.

System optimisation

System optimisation

We put your system through its paces. Is it suitable for series production? Can manufacture and assembly be simplified? Or production?

Our proposed solutions are based on a precise analysis of your products

Manufacture to specification

Manufacture to specification

"Have a specific requirement for your project, but don’t yet know how to implement it?"  Then we can develop a solution for you. Simulation testing and prototyping for a functional solution are included.

The Project Engineering Team is made up of 10 engineers, all at your disposal for any questions concerning the development and design of system solutions.


Thanks to the experience gained from numerous projects, they provide competent advice and accompanies you through every step of the process, from your initial enquiry to series production.


What our customers have to say about working with Project Engineering

«The close cooperation and customer proximity, especially for special solutions, made me decide to work with SERTO. SERTO is open to new things, shows willingness and also supports Apex in building prototypes.»

Ueli Oester, CEO Apex AG
«We have put our trust in SERTO for a number of decades for the reliability and quality of its radial compression ferrule unions. SERTO has continued to develop and offers ready-to-install solutions, which integrate various services and products such as electropolished tubes, turned parts, soldering, bending and surface treatment. This makes SERTO a valuable partner for us.»

Irmgard Ernst, Procurement, Herco Wassertechnik GmbH
«We are incredibly satisfied with the new Pinocchio. Thanks to SERTO’s involvement, we were not only able to make a product completely out of stainless steel, but we also had the opportunity to make it more compact and functional. And everything was even kept within budget. The SERTO team has once again shown itself to be incredibly innovative.»

Ing. Emanuele Cartabia, Production Manager, VWR

Tools

  • Visualisation and assessment in our CAD program
  • Simulated functional tests, for example force and flow simulations, help the designer to test a component in the application. With component analysis, invisible optimisations can be made to the design
  • With rapid prototyping, sample components can be quickly produced on the basis of 3D design data. A workpiece is built up layer by layer from formless or form-neutral material. We use three methods for prototyping: Selective laser sintering (SLS), 3D printing and stereolithography (STL)

A practical example of system optimisation

The graphics show a step-by-step system optimisation using a customer example. Costs, assembly time, the number of sealing points and the number of items to be processed changed in the course of the project to suit the customer.

Step 1

Initial situation: Distribution of a fluid from a conveyor unit to two containers. There is a regulating valve at the centre of this. The connection points and the valve are provided. And the desire to implement this solution with SERTO products.

Step 2

In order to guarantee the sealing of male connectors and a uniform screw-in height of the assembly, even after repeat assemblies, we have exchanged the conical male elbow connectors with cylindrical male elbow connectors with sealing edges

Schritt 1
Schritt 2

Step 3

Elbow fittings are replaced by bent tubes. This significantly reduces the number of sealing points.

Step 4

The final solution uses a solder assembly that also eliminates the central T union. The customer receives this assembly ready for installation.
