Machining

When you work with the Van Hoof Groep, a team of experts goes to work for you, using the latest CNC machining centres – with and without robotic assistance.

Gear cutting, turning, milling, grinding or even a combination of any of these in a single step. Unattended operation is even possible thanks to our robotic material feeding and handling systems, making production faster, more accurate and more flexible.

When you need the highest precision, grinding is often the best solution. We offer not only basic surface and cylindrical grinding but also more complex polygonal grinding. You’ll find the latest machinery of every type imaginable in our grinding department – Okuma, Hermle, Hedelius, to name but a few, as well as every kind of highly automated milling and turning centre you’d expect to see in a modern production facility.

Our strength lies in small batches, repeat orders and pilot runs.

ASSEMBLY

For your dust-sensitive components and sub-assemblies, we’ve even got an ISO Class 4 clean room (max. 10,000 particles/m³ ≥0.1 μm). We build your assemblies and sub-assemblies using the parts and components we produce on your behalf and even any electronic componentry you supply us!

With this type of expertise and experience, it’s no surprise we work for a wide range of high-tech companies in the south of the Netherlands known as the ‘Brainport’ region. They rely on us fully to produce, fabricate and pack their dust-sensitive parts, components and sub-assemblies in our clean room’s protective atmosphere.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Naturally, quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) play a vital role in all our processes. Nonetheless, you need the assurance that we can meet even your most stringent requirements – every step of the way. That’s why we use a state-of-the-art quality management system to safeguard all our processes.

Whether it’s the first or the hundredth, every item we produce is finished to the same exacting standard. How? Using 3D coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) in combination with meticulous process, product and final inspection procedures.

What’s more, you can rest assured that we can demonstrate production quality with full documentation and records. You’ll discover that quality runs in our blood, all thanks to our continuous investment in our staff and machinery.

SHIPPING

Last but by no means least, safe and secure packing and shipping! For odd-shaped or odd-sized items or repeat orders, we prefer custom-made crates. Together, we discuss what’s the safest packing solution for each of your products or product categories. Options include custom-made crates and non-standard box and pallet sizes to find the optimal balance between weight and protection.
