Robots link drop forging process
To increase the capacity of its drop forging shop, Buderus Edelstahl Schmiedetechnik GmbH invested in a fully-automatic press line for truck wheel hubs. The company was looking for robots to handle the forgings, which are at a temperature of 1,250 degrees Celsius.

Handling of automotive safety parts
The die-casting company Eisenmann Druckguss wanted to automate the manufacture of flanges for electrical steering systems of cars – safety-related components, in other words. The special challenge in this case was that there was practically no tolerance with regard to repeatability.

Robots at die-casting machine for vehicle transmission
Development work and series start-up for castings tie up machine capacity which would otherwise be available for actual production. Diecasting Technologies Center (DTC), located in Dohna near Dresden, was founded to provide a way around this problem.

Pre-treatment of sand casting dies
The Weilbach, Germany plant belonging to Linde Material Handling uses the sand casting process to manufacture 51 so-called structural counterweights for forklift trucks. Linde was looking for a more cost-effective alternative to the existing solution, in which the required protective layer between the sand and the molten iron was applied manually in the form of an alcohol-based wash.
