Perfect solution for future transmission and engine productions
What will the cars on the street look like in the future? For OEM’s and supply companies, this means that there will be a variety of conventional components, such as transmission gears, as well as new transmission components, produced in the future– in alternation and with a large amount of cost-pressure. The EMAG VLC 350 GT turning/grinding machine shows how this challenging task can be implemented, efficiently, in production. Different hard machining processes are performed on chucked components with a maximum diameter of up to 350 millimetres in succession and in a single clamping operation. Users benefit from a flexible solution with an excellent price-performance ratio.

Benefits of milling now also available for steel precision blanks
With this innovation, MN Coil Servicecenter is striving to achieve new standards of quality, greater product safety, and cost and time savings as result of less scrap for steel as well. Eliminating the need for costly investments in stamping tools will be particularly beneficial to manufacturers of vehicles with annual production volumes of less than 100,000 units. The milling process has also been tested on high-strength and ultra-high-strength cold-formed steel grades. More...
