Automotive industry:
Managing volatility and traceability economically
Never before have TIER 1 and TIER 2 automotive suppliers had to compensate for greater volatility and shorter life cycles. The production volumes required by automobile manufacturers fluctuate enormously. At the same time, they expect the shortest possible ramp-up times for new components and the complete traceability of all components.

60 percent shorter cycle times with multi-spindle machines
For us, the focus is on the economical production of your workpieces: from single- or multi-spindle machining centers to stand-alone production cells, the linking of various process steps, and complete production lines: With a four-spindle machine, for example, you reduce the cycle time per workpiece by up to 60 percent. They also save up to two-thirds on space requirements. Our CNC machining centers with linear motors are among the fastest systems in the world, leading in efficiency and quality in automotive production. We are also at your side when it comes to getting started with electromobility.
