Automotive
Repeatable tolerances and long tool life on volume production lines.
Automotive · AUT
In automotive production what matters is not machining one part, but machining the same part to the same tolerance hundreds of thousands of times.
In automotive production what matters is not machining one part, but machining the same part to the same tolerance hundreds of thousands of times. That is why we approach tool selection for automotive customers on a cost-per-part basis.
We supply the carbide milling, drilling and turning tools used in high-volume operations such as engine blocks, transmission housings, brake and suspension components, together with die maintenance equipment and in-line gauging. We recommend a separate coating and rake geometry for cast iron, aluminium alloy and quenched-and-tempered steel, and provide commissioning support after sample machining.
