Customer case studies
Wherever high-quality stamped and plastic products are needed, EK is your development partner and solutions provider. With intelligent system solutions and custom-made components, we support our customers from product concept and new development through to quality-approved series production and assembly. We reliably solve your challenges, too.
Universal clamp for photovoltaic mounting
Challenge
Our customer used a mounting system to secure PV panels, requiring separate middle and end clamps for each connection. The use of two different clamps increased effort and made small‒part management more complex.
Solution
We developed a universal clamp suitable for all framed module types. By rotating the clamp head 90°, it can be used as either a middle or an end clamp. Its adjustable height makes it compatible with different frame sizes. Additionally, it is highly assembly‒friendly: simply “click” it into place, slide it as needed, and it locks securely when the screw is tightened.
Result
Our universal clamp revolutionizes PV panel assembly. Its versatility as both a middle and end clamp, combined with adjustable height, simplifies installation and significantly reduces small‒part management, saving time, effort, and ultimately costs for users – both in planning and assembly.
Challenge
Our customer faced recurring issues during the assembly of shock absorber spring washers: the smaller upper washer often slipped during installation because its larger inner diameter prevented precise alignment with the lower washer. This led to assembly errors, increased rework, and an overall unstable process.
Solution
In close collaboration with the customer, we developed a new process: using a dual‒lane rotary welding system with six stations and precise laser measurement, the two washers are now perfectly aligned and spot‒welded by a computer‒controlled welding robot. Production is fully automated at a welding frequency of 10,000 Hz, integrated with our CAQ and BDE systems. Color‒coding of the washers also allows for unambiguous type identification during the process.
Result
The new welded assembly ensures a permanent, concentric connection between the washers – no slipping, no readjustment. For the customer, this means significantly reduced error rates, stable assembly processes, full traceability, and maximum efficiency in series production.

Balustrade clamp – For securing glass balustrades
Challenge
Our customer used various clamps to secure glass balustrades, depending on the glass thickness. This increased complexity in small‒part management and project planning, as employees always had to ensure the correct clamp was used.
Solution
We developed a new balustrade clamp with an internal mechanism, allowing flexible adjustment for all relevant glass thicknesses. No individual part assembly is required. Thanks to the innovative adjustment technology, there is no risk of tilting, as can occur with conventional glass clamps. Additionally, our clamp provides maximum safety by preventing the glass unit from slipping, for example, due to temperature fluctuations.
Result
Together with us, our customer launched the first adjustable clamp system on the market – not only cost‒effective but also highly efficient. Its versatility in adapting to all relevant glass thicknesses and post connections simplifies storage and consultation significantly. With top quality, easy installation, and elegant design, we are setting new industry standards, helping end customers save time and effort while relying on a premium product.
Challenge
In insulating glass production, the ends of spacer bars at the joint can sometimes allow desiccant to escape during processing. Because the ends of the spacer profiles are not always perfectly cut, the straight connector must provide sufficient sealing at the joint.
Solution
We developed an innovative plastic bridge integrated into the steel straight connector, combining the outstanding properties of both materials. This synergy ensures optimal and secure sealing of the profile back using the pipe‒in‒pipe principle. Our solution compensates for tolerances in spacer bar cuts, improves efficiency when filling frames with desiccant, provides comprehensive sealing at the joints, and reinforces overall stability – a crucial advantage, especially for large insulating glass units.
Result
Our solution compensates for spacer bar cut tolerances, ensures efficient desiccant filling, seals the joint completely, and increases stability (particularly in very large insulating glass units). This guarantees a safe and smooth production process, minimizing downtime and costly complaints. Our product is the market‒leading solution.
