Milling cutters for extremely long service life
Whatever the vehicle, a sleek look is ever-popular. So, from season to season each new generation of models seemingly gets more and more streamlined. In the automotive industry, steel materials are increasingly being replaced by aluminium alloys, particularly when it comes to sports models. This helps manufacturers to work towards their efficiency targets, as well as requirements for dynamics that they have set themselves. Although aluminium is good to work with when it comes to machining, the material does have its drawbacks, which tool developers try to minimise using specially adapted tool systems. More... |

Fully automated solution for material recovery
In view of rising raw material prices, it is also in the interest of foundries to return scrap material to the production process as quickly and efficiently as possible. In order to enable energy-efficient re-smelting, the parts must be shredded beforehand. Driven by the high development pressure on automobile manufacturers and suppliers, lightweight construction has been gaining more and more importance in this industry for several years now.
