Industrial high-pressure deburring and component-cleaning machinery
Piller manufactures precision deburring systems that use controlled water and oil jets at up to 1100 bar to remove burrs and contaminants from machined parts. The tech stack—EPLAN, Siemens PLC/S7, TIA Portal, Autodesk Inventor—reflects a traditional industrial-automation vendor profile, but active projects in condition monitoring, AI-driven tool development, and 5-axis CNC control signal a shift toward smarter, more autonomous machines. Engineering dominates hiring (7 of 11 open roles), with pain points centered on modernizing design workflows and automating engineering processes, indicating internal tooling and process maturity is a constraint on scale.
Piller Entgrattechnik GmbH, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Ditzingen, Germany, designs and manufactures high-pressure deburring and industrial parts-cleaning systems for automotive, hydraulics, pneumatics, and medical-device manufacturers worldwide. The product line spans deburring machinery, fine-cleaning systems, vacuum dryers, and ultrasonic cleaning equipment, often sold as contract deburring services or bespoke installations. The company operates at 51–200 employees with manufacturing and engineering operations in Baden-Württemberg. Core capabilities rest on patented jet-pressure processes and integrated workpiece logistics.
