In the age of electric vehicles
What does this ongoing industry evolution mean for part suppliers? As the trend intensifies, it’s imperative to establish a competitive edge. According to a recent Deloitte insight, “Traditional parts suppliers may need to tweak their strategy to align themselves to the new landscape and take advantage of this long-term shift. Many suppliers, particularly those involved in the manufacture of traditional engine components, will likely be affected as there are far fewer individual parts in a battery powertrain than in a traditional combustion vehicle.” More... |

State-of-the-art laser process measuring technology for precision machining
Finishing processes on grinding machines often demand exacting tolerances in relation to dimension, form and position accuracies, as well as highly accurate surface qualities. Often companies have empirical values available to fulfil these requirements. However, with small lot sizes in particular process evaluation on the machine is desirable, as intermediate measurement on external measuring machines and the resulting corrections prolong the processing time for part machining.
