Services

Tornado Antriebstechnik GmbH designs and develops its own drive solutions (gearboxes and geared motors). These products go through the entire production process from the prefabrication of most gear and motor components to final assembly.

Quality control accompanies the process throughout, ensuring that all points of the specifications and performance requirements are met.

Design & Development

The starting point for our development is always the specific application required. Our design department designs the appropriate drive in close cooperation with the customer. Modern development methods such as rapid prototyping are used.

Fabrication Technology

In our in-house workshop, we not only develop and assemble the drives, but also manufacture the essential and key components, devices and tools. Our customers benefit equally from the professional experience and the new perspective on proven products.

Assembly

Tornado builds over 800 products every day through our semi-automatic assembly line and other work stations. These consist of components manufactured in-house and purchased parts. This enables assembly times to be permanently optimized and the highest quality standards to be guaranteed.

Quality Control

A lot depends on the flawless functioning of our products. This includes, not least, the operational readiness and safety of roller doors or stair lifts. The safety and reliability of our products are therefore our absolute priority. They must function flawlessly even under the most difficult conditions.
