History
The first winding machine
The first FH 88 winding machine was delivered in 1949 (under Frieseke & Hoepfner).
With our experience in mechanics, electronics and software, the CNC and PC-controlled winding machines of today's model series have been developed, produced and sold worldwide.
The company foundation
The company was founded in 1993 by MBO from the FAG Kugelfischer KG group based in Erlangen.
Takeover of the Calotron AG product line
Since the end of the 1990s, partial and full automation has developed into an important product area.
By taking over the product line of Calotron AG in 2001, the product range of wire winding machines was expanded to include strip winding technology.
Machine program taken over from Gebrüder Waasner Elektrotechnische Fabrik GmbH
In 2003, IWT took over the machine program of Gebrüder Waasner Elektrotechnische Fabrik GmbH, consisting of transformer cores, welding machines, automatic core insertion machines and manual nesting machines.
New foundation
IWT was acquired by Friedrich Mechanische Werkstätten in 2020.
