Manufacturing technology
Our range covers the entire spectrum of high-precision shaft manufacture, with the processing stages representing a high added value for us and our customers.
The manufacture of camshafts is a complicated procedure involving many different processes requiring our specialised know how:
Cutting
in our highly modern cutting plant – also undertaking contract processing
Cutting to length and centering
on vertical machining centers and double-sided cropping machines
Turning
from 3 to 9 axes
Milling
of complex geometrical structures and cam shapes
Internal/external gearing
Deep-hole drilling
to save on weight or as an oil duct for lubrication
Tempering
modern induction tempering in our own tempering shops and, in cooperation with our long-term partners:
- plasma nitriding
- gas nitriding
- salt bath nitriding
- austempering
- plasma-vacuum-tempering
- case hardening
Cylindrical/lobe grinding
all profiles and contours including interior radii Band finishing
Band finishing
up to a roughness of Ra 0.05 in serial production
Measuring
tactile and optical methods of measurement, non-destructive testing, e.g. Stresstech methods, ultrasonic testing, material testing
Assembly
– of add-on components, e.g. trigger wheels – in-house for shafts of up to 3 m (by central screw, flange screw or thermal joining)
