Photovoltaic system in operation since March 10, 2023
We also attach great importance to sustainability in terms of energy and resource consumption. The photovoltaic system that we have installed on the roofs of our company building produces more electricity than our company consumes on an annual basis.
With the built-in battery storage units, we also largely cover consumption overnight, and we can also feed surplus electricity into the public grid.
Our employees and guests can now charge their e-cars and e-bikes with "green electricity".

18.08.20 | An Image as an Appreciation Inspires Reflection
An Image as an Appreciation Inspires Reflection
Artist Reinhard Wollherr
In cooperation with the French Research Institute IREIS in St. Etienne, Dr. Tillwich GmbH has developed a piston ring test bench for internal combustion engines.
The test bench can primarily reduce costs, test time and exhaust emissions. In addition, correlations can be assessed in a resource-saving manner, which lead to new, energy-saving solutions and concepts with an improved carbon footprint.
Articles on this subject have been published in the local daily press. The reader Reinhard Wollherr, an artist from Freudenstadt, promptly donated a prize in terms of an artwork he created out of enthusiasm about the sustainability aspect of the developed test bench. Created in digital airbrush technology, the image, which is a colourful pop art following the style of Andy Warhol, conveys on four levels the message behind it as a warning against global warming covering the period from 1850 to 2020.
The message of the picture is: "Global Warming - Global Thinking - Local Action“
Each and every one of us is requested to counteract global warming through personal and meaningful commitment, even in a small range.
The artwork was handed over on 28.07.2020 at the development site in Ahldorf by the artist Reinhard Wollherr and his son Eric Wollherr. The company Dr. Tillwich GmbH was represented by the managing director Susanne Beyer-Faiß and the developer Werner Stehr.
09.06.20 | World Novelty from Ahldorf
World Novelty from Ahldorf
The internal combustion engine in motor vehicles will exist for many years on in addition to the electric motor drives. In order to preserve resources and the environment, automobile manufacturers undertake great efforts to further improve the efficiency of engines.
Efficiency is reduced by the friction of the moving parts in the engine. Here especially in the piston-cylinder system, where 40% of the friction losses occur. The combustion pressure moves the pistons down with great force and drives the vehicle via the crankshaft. The higher this pressure, the better the engine's performance. The piston rings, which are pressed against the cylinder wall, prevent pressure loss. This is where the largest part of the total friction in the engine is created. Today, attempts are made to reduce frictional losses by 10-20% by using low-viscous lubricants with special additives, by using optimized materials and by changing the design of the rings, thereby significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
In cooperation with the French research institute IREIS in St. Etienne, a test device (tribometer) was developed in a three-year collaboration, which now allows to investigate and analyze these friction processes on different piston rings and cylinder materials depending on engine speed, oil temperature and contact pressure in a laboratory test.
With the measurement methodology used here, it is no longer necessary to operate engines fired in order to obtain the necessary measurement data. This saves considerable costs and testing time while avoiding exhaust emissions.
Based on the measurement data from this innovative tribometer, it is expected that the optimization of the piston-cylinder assembly will have a significant contribution to reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in conventional internal combustion engines and hybrid cars.

19.12.19 | Masterclass of Watchmakers visit DTWS
Graduates of the Master`s Class of Watchmakers (Staatliche Feintechnikschule) from Villingen-Schwenningen on Factory Tour
Ten future masters of watch makers and their instructor were informed about the specific properties of lubricants, which are used in watch and clock industry. Starting with an introductory lecture of Managing Director Susanne Beyer-Faiß the graduates got answers to most interesting questions, for example what kind of lubricant concepts do exist, where are their strengths and their weaknesses, how to choose the correct lubricant, and how to read technical data sheets.
During a subsequent tour of the lubricant laboratory, the production, the tribological test field and the operating areas of the company, visitors were able to deepen their knowledge. Not even a small snack at the end of the visit was able to interrupt the lively discussions on watch and clock lubricants. As a farewell, each visitor received a sample set containing the most common watch and clock oils, greases and epilams.

15.08.18 | Publication in Lube Magazine
New test method for measuring the adhesive forces of lubricants on surfaces under dynamic conditions
Lube Magazine published the latest results of Susanne Beyer-Faiss from our lubricant laboratory dealing with the measurement of adhesive properties of lubricants on surfaces.
Within the scope of a research project a test method has been developed which allows to dynamically measuring the adhesive force of a lubricant drop directly on the respective materials and surfaces with the technology of a centrifuge. The detection of adhesion forces under dynamic conditions extends the range of laboratory test methods for the characterization of surface wetting properties. In particular, the possibility of testing on real component surfaces and with small oil volumes opens up new aspects for the function prediction of life-time lubricated systems in precision engineering.

01.08.18 | Development of a measuring device for yield point
New Yield Point Measuring Device TRMD3001 according to the tilting rod method
The tilting rod method, which has been developed from Dr. Tillwich GmbH Werner Stehr, and which has been standardized since August 2016 as DIN 51810-3, is now available as a measuring device for the fast and uncomplicated determination of the yield point of flowing to soft greases or gel-like substances. By placing five additional weights, the measuring range can be extended from 2 to 400 Pa. Intended areas of application are quality assurance as well as research and development.
