We manufacture our 3D printing inductors using selective laser melting in our own 3D technology center in the hardening machines division. The implementation of 3D printing of inductors to serial production took place in our technology center.

Our new product, the vertical hardening machine VHM 1000, is a tailor-made solution for the powertrain product area, in particular the side shaft product (connecting element of the drive type to the wheel). In addition to classic total surface hardening, the implementation of progressive hardening can also be selected. The high strength of the system components, maximum speed and high availability are the benchmark. Within the machine, several work stations can be selected in parallel and independently via separate NC axes. Cycle times and cost budget can thus be optimally coordinated. The machine processes are programmed in the classic way using CNC programming with a touch panel. Samples, hardness tests and prototypes can be produced in our modern application laboratory for side shafts. KEY FACTS High rigidity and high dimensional accuracy Automatic service doors for separate loading, e.g. using robots The robust operating doors dip, so there is no dirt or water discharge in the operating area Variable component length up to 1 m, easy scaffolding Variable autonomous NC vertical axes can be executed within the machine without changing the machine width

The FLEX 1.5 machine design offers maximum flexibility for accommodating a wide variety of crankshaft types and variants, specially adapted to the needs of trucks, buses and agriculture. Cycle times and investment requirements can be optimally coordinated. The possibility of later adaptation to changed requirements increases flexibility significantly. We are the world market leader in this segment! KEY FACTS Used worldwide by all leading manufacturers of trucks, buses and agricultural machinery Loading via portal systems, robots or manually Integrated and highly flexible NC heavy-duty shuttle system Short changeover times with maximum user-friendliness Workpiece length up to 1.5 m and weight of 300 kg Cycle time > 60 s
