Rhodius GmbH services

In combination with a wide variety of materials (glass fibre, mica, graphite, rubber, etc.), RHODIUS uses the porous medium of knitted wire mesh to manufacture many different kinds of sealing components, producing flexible products for processing which can be found in numerous industrial applications. Because of the multitude of possibilities, seals (e.g. as sealing strip) can be manufactured for high and even the highest of temperature conditions, which in the process also perform acoustic decoupling in machine constructions and provide effective shielding against electromagnetic radiation and interference.

Assembled component groups and system solutions, such as prefabricated motor vehicle airbag modules, complex electromechanical windshield adjustment mechanisms for motorcycles, or silencers for truck brake systems, have been part of our product portfolio for years. They are manufactured under strictest quality requirements and test criteria at Rhodius` production sites around the world. Downstream tests, such as helium leak tests, eddy current tests, flow measurements, torque tests and acoustics tests – some of which are fully automated – we view as a matter of course.

In Weissenburg at the headquarters of RHODIUS, processes and methods are planned for production, based on customer requirements. After that our plants at four international locations do the manufacturing based on these specifications.

RHODIUS has many ways at its disposal to numerically analyse, calculate and optimise parts and systems.

RHODIUS works with CATIA V5© in the development stage and with INVENTOR© in the process development stage and in machine construction.

Example: Design of kinematics: Torsional wave of an automotive application (development tool: Matlab-Simulink)

We calculate and optimise parts using FEM tools. Example: Mount of an automotive application (software in this case: CATIA FEM).

RHODIUS develops and optimises gear applications. Example: Gear damper of an automotive application (software: KISSOFT)

RHODIUS has a measuring lab and test lab for analyses in the automotive area as well as in the area of Mesh & Separation.
