EMAG develops a production line for rotor shaft manufacturing
By 2032 more alternative drive systems than pure combustion engines could be licensed in the passenger car market, according to a new study by Deloitte. It is easy to imagine what this development will mean for the automotive industry: The value-added share of combustion engine components is declining and the share of "electric" drive components is rising just as quickly - including many...

Trucks are the most commonly used means of freight transportation in the world. In Germany, more than 71 percent of goods are delivered by truck; in the USA, that figure is up to 72.5 percent. More than 3.2 bn tons of goods were moved on German roads in 2019 alone. In the USA, the volume was almost 4 times as high, at 11.8 bn tons—and the trend is moving upward, across the globe. It's clear that...

The running of many machines and production of a variety of gears would be impossible without roller bearings. Roller bearings have a ring-shaped design that facilitates rolling movements and reduces friction. Although this may sound simple, their production requires extreme precision in the micrometer range – a task perfect for Interprecise Donath GmbH, based near Fürth, Germany. For over 30...

The need for industrial cleaning processes is not uncommon – many parts are contaminated with substances including oil and adhesives, or have undesired layers of oxide, rust, phosphate, or paint that needs to be removed before additional machining processes can take place. With that in mind, production planners are turning their attention to the efficient laser cleaning and coating removal...

The CI machine from EMAG ECM: A Highly Effective Solution for Deburring Complex Components
Autonomous steering and brake systems, hydro-pneumatic chassis, or radically improved gas mileage – these buzzwords represent a technological change that is triggering a domino effect in the automotive and other industries. An increasing number of components have to satisfy extremely demanding quality requirements. They need to leave the production process in perfect condition and without any...

Large components and complex geometries—in heavy machining, this combination is far from rare and is always synonymous with a high expenditure of time and rising costs. A primary reason for this is that the variety of machining processes required, from turning to gear cutting, are typically performed on different machines that are not completely linked with one another. Additionally, the variety...

Production system by EMAG: High-performance solutions for differential cases
The worldwide production of motor vehicles is set to rise by about two percent every year until 2030, according to the estimates of a new McKinsey study. An excellent example of how to handle these rising production volumes despite stringent quality requirements can be found in the differential: This key component will remain indispensable whatever the propulsion system used by the vehicle. In...
