Stuttgart Surface Technology Award “Die Oberfläche” Award Winners

Stuttgart Surface Technology Prize 2026 "The Surface" - Award winners

The Stuttgart Surface Technology Prize "The Surface 2026" was awarded to solutions that can replace chemical cleaning processes, bring recyclates into electroplating and provide an alternative to gold in power electronics.

Coating windows and doors with spray robots

Automatic coating of windows and doors with a spraying robot

A window manufacturer switched from manual painting to automated robot painting. The entire three-coat process for windows, front doors and façade elements is now carried out fully automatically by a spraying robot.

Blast-finishing of injection-molded components

Automatic deburring of injection molded components using blasting technology

In order to deburr injection molded components automatically, they are processed using blasting technology in a turning beam system. The plastic components can be reliably deburred in the cycle of the injection molding machine.

Clean valves and process components economically

A manufacturer of stainless steel components optimizes its wet-chemical cleaning process, reduces energy and water consumption and improves component cleanliness. Government funding reduces costs and increases profitability.

Ultra-Fine and High-Purity Cleaning High-Tech Industries

Ultra-fine and high-purity cleaning for high-tech industries

High-tech industries have very high requirements for component cleanliness. There are strict specifications regarding particulate and filmic cleanliness, which must be met reliably, economically and sustainably.

Powder Coating System for Trailer Hitches

Modern powder coating system for trailer couplings

A powder coating system for trailer couplings has been modernized. The previous four powder booths have been reduced to one, resulting in easier color changes, lower powder coating consumption and higher quality.

Conversion Coatings and Passivation of Aluminum Components

Conversion coatings with passivation for aluminum components

Conversion coatings with passivation for aluminum components are becoming increasingly important in light of stricter environmental regulations. The focus is on developing a passivation process with reduced chromium content for corrosion protection.

Corrosion-Resistant Coating for Steel and Aluminum Components

Corrosion protection for steel and aluminum components through painting

Corrosion protection through painting: How coordinated paint systems protect steel and aluminum components in the long term - wet painting, coating structure and practical approaches for durable industrial components.

Ultra-fine cleaning system for high purity components

A manufacturer of complex mechanical assemblies relies on ultra-fine cleaning with cleanroom integration. The system delivers high-purity conditions of the highest standard and is based on many years of practical experience.

Doors, Gates, Electrostatic Spray Guns, VOC Reduction, Paint Savings

Saving paint on door and gate systems thanks to electrostatic guns

The painting process for technically sophisticated door and gate systems was converted to electrostatic technology. This reduced paint consumption by 30 percent and led to a significant reduction in VOCs.
