STRAIGHTENIG MACHINES AND SYSTEMS

for the automotive industry

Aluminum castings have deviations from the desired geometry after the casting process and the subsequent heat treatment. Various variants for achieving the required dimensional accuracy before further processing are cost-intensive, e.g. high machining allowances in combination with elaborate cutting machining or the process of manual straightening. Automatic straightening systems offer the customer considerable cost and quality advantages in the case of the high number of parts in the industry. L+R straightening systems are used by leading automotive manufacturers and suppliers for straightening structural components, axle components, control housings, crankshafts and camshafts.

The first self-learning, fully automated straightening machine was installed in 1999 by L+R at the Daimler AG. Since then, the technology has been continuously developed and enhanced - it can be used flexibly for a wide range of component types and shapes.
