Environmentally friendly surface optimisation for drive shafts in electric trucks
Functional reliability, cost-effectiveness and the use of environmentally friendly technology were the particular challenges for processing electric drive shafts from a well-known Polish automotive supplier.
With OTEC machines, optimal surface tolerances are achieved on parts for electric high-speed drives where absolute functional reliability is of the greatest importance.
Function-relevant surface tolerances
The automotive supplier and renowned drive specialist was looking for an efficient, cost-saving and above all reliable solution for optimising the surfaces of drive shafts in electric trucks. To guarantee the critically important functional reliability, exact surface roughness parameters had to be adhered to. The increasing demand for electric trucks is giving rise to high quantities in production and thus requires a high level of automation during processing and handling. It was also necessary to find an optimal solution in order to take into account an already tight timeframe.
