The production lines and islands used for control gear ‘green part’ manufacturing are characterised by the large-scale precision machining of forged and steel parts. We currently provide manufacturing for several major OEM vehicle platform programmes. Depending on its design, a gear can require between five and ten control gears with different indices (switching steps).
In addition to pre- and final processing, the value chain also includes inline measurement for quality assurance. Before the components are installed in the intended gear, they are "refined" at the customer's premises by a hardening process, followed by hard machining and subsequent installation in the gear-unit plant.
