Construction Machinery & Agricultural Equipment: Manufacturing Solutions for Rugged Drive Technology
Construction machinery and agricultural technology are shifting steadily toward alternative drive systems. EMAG offers precision manufacturing solutions—from conventional drive components to parts for electric drives.
Manufacturing Expertise for Two Industries in Transition
Construction Machinery: From Internal Combustion Engines to Zero Emissions
The construction machinery industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation: electric excavators, electric trucks, and other zero-emission vehicles are entering the market to cut the construction sector’s carbon footprint significantly. For manufacturers, that brings new demands in component manufacturing—from electric motor housings to high-voltage components. EMAG supports this transformation with a broad portfolio of manufacturing machines and many years of expertise in e-mobility.
Agricultural Machinery: Efficiency and Alternative Drives
Agricultural technology is changing, too: Current research projects such as EKoTech show that intelligent process control and modern operating concepts can reduce fuel consumption by 35–40 percent. Meanwhile, electric tractors are gaining ground on smaller farms and fields. EMAG supports this development with manufacturing solutions designed for both traditional internal combustion engines and new electric drive concepts.

Both industries demand the highest precision, durability, and cost-effectiveness when manufacturing complex drive components. Transmission shafts, axle components, or engine components—each has to withstand extreme mechanical stresses. The shift to electric drives adds further demands, with even tighter manufacturing tolerances.
EMAG offers a broad portfolio of turning, grinding, gear cutting, and laser welding machines built to meet these industries’ requirements. Complete machining centers that combine multiple manufacturing steps in a single setup are in particularly high demand—this reduces setup times and significantly increases process reliability.
Typical workpieces include transmission shafts, differential and axle components, hydraulic pistons, clutch discs, as well as rotors and stators for electric drives. Many of these components are large and made with hard materials , which places special demands on machine rigidity and tool life.
The quality requirements are high: Components must reliably work for long operating periods under adverse conditions—dust, moisture, vibration. This requires tight manufacturing tolerances, reproducible processes, and comprehensive quality documentation. EMAG machines are designed to meet these requirements and support continuous process monitoring.
EMAG integrates proven automation concepts directly into its manufacturing systems—from robotic loading and linking multiple machines to fully automated production lines. This increases capacity utilization, reduces labor costs, and ensures consistently high part quality—a key factor in cost-effective high-volume production.
Electric excavators, trucks, and tractors are reshaping the component landscape. New components such as electric motor housings, rotor shafts, and high-voltage connectors require adapted manufacturing processes. With its many years of expertise in e-mobility manufacturing, EMAG offers manufacturers the right solutions for this technological shift.
By combining complete-machining, short non-productive times, and extensive machine automation, EMAG solutions significantly reduce unit production costs. Research show that optimized manufacturing processes and intelligent process control reduce energy and resource use significantly—an advantage that’s both economic and ecological.
EMAG supports manufacturers from needs analysis through machine design to commissioning and ongoing service. With a global service presence and a well-coordinated project team, new production lines integrate quickly and smoothly into existing operations.
