We specialize in prototype and small‑series manufacturing—an area that requires exceptional precision, flexibility, and deep process expertise. By combining craftsmanship with industrial standards, we deliver solutions beyond the capabilities of conventional manufacturers. This makes us the preferred partner for technically demanding components, from one-off parts and validation pre-series to small series for industry, hypercars, and the aftermarket.
Whether rotationally symmetrical, cubic or free-form - we are proficient in the mechanical production of all geometries and specialize in complex components in particular. The dimensions range from small valve adjustment caps to large truck engine blocks over a meter in length. We can process all types of aluminum, steel and titanium - cast, forged, solid or, increasingly, 3D-printed.

Turning
Rotational machining is at the heart of machining production. At AVL SCHRICK Performance Components, we have mastered this method in all its facets and down to the smallest detail. With our state-of-the-art, multifunctional machinery and efficient manufacturing processes, we produce high-performance components with maximum precision.
- CNC turning with additional milling for complex geometries
- Machining up to 1,500 mm length / 500 mm Ø / 500 kg workpiece weight
- Combination with hard machining, grinding, finishing and hardening
- Round & non-circular profiles, including negative radii
- Dimensional accuracy at series level - even for individual pieces
Induction hardening
Induction hardening is one of the most demanding heat treatment processes and is crucial for the performance and service life of highly stressed components. As we were unable to guarantee process reliability and quality externally to a sufficient extent, we have established inductive hardening internally. This allows us to control the entire process ourselves - from the exact setting of the hardening depth to the reproducible hardness distributio
- Tailor-made hardening profiles precisely matched to component requirements
- Durable surfaces with optimized wear resistance
- Maximum durability thanks to controlled hardening depth
- High flexibility and fast throughput times thanks to internal process control
- Absolute process reliability thanks to independent control of all parameters
Grinding
We grind camshafts and crankshafts in-house on CNC grinding centers designed for machining complex lift curves with form and profile grinding wheels. The profile accuracy is reproducible in the range < ±2 µm. Process parameters such as feed rate, infeed and cooling lubricant management are optimized for minimal thermal influences and maximum dimensional consistency. Critical geometric features such as cam apex, ramp course and bearing running surfaces are measured and documented inline.
- Profile accuracy below ±2 µm
- Machining of critical geometries such as cam tips and ramp profiles
- Thermally stable process control to prevent dimensional distortion and grinding burn
- Adaptive control for grinding wheel wear compensation
- In-process measurement technology for permanent quality control
Milling
Our milling machining enables the precise implementation of complex geometries - from deep cavities to intricate structures. With modern 3-, 4- and 5-axis technology, we manufacture complex components economically, with repeat accuracy and to series production standards - even in small quantities.
- 3-, 4- and 5-axis milling centers with high rigidity and precision
- Tool lengths of up to 800 mm for deep and complex installation space accesses
- Travel paths up to 1,450 × 1,100 × 1,300 mm (X/Y/Z)
- Machining of large components with workpiece weights of up to 1,500 kg
- High repeat accuracy for prototypes and small batches
Assembly and finishing
Tailored to the respective requirements, we undertake the assembly and press-fitting of accessories such as valve guides, screws, sleeves and bearings in our assembly department. In this way, we guarantee maximum accuracy of fit and functional reliability from a single source. We also have a wide range of processes at our disposal to precisely meet even the highest surface requirements of our customers. With our in-house, specially modified systems, we also achieve a level of quality for prototypes that is otherwise only possible in industrial series production. The components we produce are therefore a guarantee for minimum friction, maximum service life and reliable performance - even under extreme conditions.
- Strip finish and superfinish (Ra up to 0.03 µm)
- In-house inductive hardening with controlled hardening depth
- Cleaning (ultrasonic, flood, spray process)
- Final inspection incl. surface and dimensional inspection in the µm range
Quality assurance
For us, quality is not a checkpoint at the end, but an integral part of every work step. We ensure precise dimensional accuracy down to the µm range through fully air-conditioned production areas, among other things. Our ready-to-install solutions are fully documented and quality-tested. This enables us to achieve and guarantee the specified quality for every single part that leaves our production halls. High-performance manufacturing with series quality, fully verifiable: Welcome to AVL SPC.
- Tactile, optical and 3D coordinate measuring technology
- Surface, form and hardness measurement
- Crack testing, microscopy, residual dirt analysis
- Leak tests (differential pressure, water bath)
- Quality certificates in accordance with PPAP, ISIR and customer specifications
- Documentation and traceability of each individual component
External services
Our core competence lies in machining. For supplementary processes such as heat treatment or coating, we rely on a strong network of regional, national and international partners. Thanks to close cooperation with material suppliers, foundries (iron and aluminum casting) and manufacturers of additively manufactured components, we are also particularly flexible when it comes to procuring raw parts. Our comprehensive supplier network enables us to cover all process-critical production steps seamlessly.
- Fast response times thanks to coordinated coordination within our supplier network
- Individual solutions thanks to flexible adaptation to specific customer requirements
- Continuous quality monitoring along the entire production chain
- Use of state-of-the-art technologies through the selection of innovative partners
- Sustainable production through the selection of responsible and certified suppliers
Our goal is to manufacture components with passion and precision that enable sustainable mobility while guaranteeing the highest performance. We want to combine technological innovation and responsibility in order to actively shape a cleaner, more efficient and more powerful future.
