Precision and efficiency are two key words which are very important in this area. Whether used in cars or commercial vehicles, these components make a significant contribution to the driver’s or user’s pleasure at the wheel, and to energy efficiency.
A further point is the competitive conditions which form a major challenge, particularly to suppliers to the automotive manufacturers – frequent model changes and extremely slender margins at a consistently high quality require extremely efficient manufacturing processes.

Both at many automotive manufacturers and their suppliers our tools save worksteps and therefore contribute to productivity and a permanent and corresponding increase in competitiveness. At the same time the defect rate is massively reduced because of the reduction of manual operations.

In the true sense of the word these are the load-bearing parts of a vehicle and are subject to enormous loads. Stability, durability and endurance are therefore among the main criteria which must be considered.
But, of course, safety is always the number one priority in this area. In this quest for safety what might seem at first sight to be only minor worksteps, for example the dependable deburring of forged chassis members to prevent protective paint from disbonding.

The analyses conducted after the occurrence of defects or even accidents assist the continuous improvement of safety-relevant components. The traceability of components plays a decisive role in this. Thanks to the automatically generated, individual marking of parts (if necessary complete with date of manufacture and part numbering etc.) the marking tools we manufacture make a major contribution to safety.

There is scarcely another industry in which reliability enjoys such a prominence as in the aerospace field.
Lightweight technology and the use of high-strength materials often represent a serious challenge for component manufacture. The unusually high quality requirement can only be achieved with machines and tools of the very highest quality.

The same quality requirement applies to us as partners in the field of special tool solutions – the greatest possible process reliability of the products we deliver. We are proud to have a number of famous companies from this sector among our customers, whether in the field of component marking of turbine blades or landing gear equipment etc. – or the deburring and final machining of wing panels made from carbon fibre-reinforced plastics.

This area contains a huge range of applications because of the variety of components and the materials used.
From the perspective of tools and machines, versatility of possible uses is essential as the batch quantities are also often significantly smaller than in other areas. Nevertheless, a perfect result is what is demanded – and quite rightly so!

Although our portfolio includes several dozen tool solutions, there is no such thing as the universal tool, either for marking or deburring. Therefore even if the enquiry is for a tool for universal use, the first step is always to call the customer to discuss the application he is planning.
During this conversation a tool type often becomes evident which very frequently remains among the standard equipment in the tool magazine and which is automatically brought into use when required.
