Clean air is their mission
At home in all climate zones
How can high-precision holes be made into double-wall V2A- or sheet steel panels in an economically sensible way? Specialists from AL-KO Therm had set out to find an answer to this question. There, ventilation and air conditioning units of all sizes and versions are developed and tested for most different applications in their own test centre.
Top quality in series production
Dust and chip-free milling process
At first, “a deliberate investment in future capacities” sounds daring, above all when it refers to a big CNC-milling unit including robot systems. For MN Coil, an important supplier of the automotive and aircraft industry, however, it constitutes a well-considered step to reach a position where they can react to changes in the market at any given time and ensure economic stability.
Trendsetting styling from aluminium
Luxurious appeal and authenticity
It is undeniable that decorated aluminium in a car interior exudes a special charisma. The people at Alutrim Europe GmbH have taken this up as a profession, as they transfer inspirations found in nature and industry into decorative surfaces from genuine metal. A major project for Audi necessitated a considerable expansion in milling capacities in 2017.
New machine concept HSTM 150 S2
High-precision HSC 5‑axes turn-mill machining of flow components
The requirements for the manufacture of turbine- and compressor blades, blisks or radial compressors are very challenging ones. A HSC-machining centre needs excellent properties to meet these extraordinary demands as to the required accuracies and surface qualities.
TUBE – a new machine concept
Tailor-made for the automotive industry
Our business philosophy consists in developing lines that appeal to our target groups. Normally, to achieve this goal we base the concept for each line on our modular system. For the first time our approach has been different in the case of the TUBE. The automotive industry has several peculiarities which we want to accommodate.
VISION-FLEX – a new machine concept
Innovative machining of aluminium profiles
The highly dynamic 5‑axes CNC-machine VISION-FLEX is perfect for the advanced processing of aluminium profiles, as it revolutionises the cutting and machining even of larger profile cross-sections. The processing of profiles of up to 7,300 mm in length, three-sided and end-of-profile machining, are only some of the technical highlights of this new machine concept.
HAMUEL HSTM 150 HD
Fully-automated: the decisive step ahead
The refined HSTM 150 HD places us in a position where we can offer a fully-automated processing centre to the manufacturers of turbine and compressor blades for the aerospace industry. A completely integrated workpiece storage and changer system allows for the entirely self-sufficient operation of the line, meaning that it can be operated unmanned for several hours.
Core parts for flow components
High-performance applications do not allow for compromise
The aviation industry has had a hard landing, and with it suppliers of all stripes. What remains is the insight that in such unstable times only the will to change is a way out. Parts for high-performance applications in particular require the tightest tolerances and high-precision surfaces.
