Project challenge.
- To substitute a forged part
- Material hardening by forming
- Zero-error target
Solution concept.
- Appropriate material cross-sections, machining of just the sealing surface
- Machine concept precisely aligned to the forming flange
- Continual process monitoring by means of structure-borne sound, camera systems and eddy current
Know-how + digitalisation x 16 million parts = zero ppm.
