Technology ...
... no unexpected surprises
ALFING's technological competence in the field of automotive crankshafts is not only limited to the manufacture of crankshafts, although this is certainly an important part of it. For us technology means: the continuous optimization of all demands to do with customized solutions. And above all – jointly with the customer. Close cooperation between our customer's R&D departments and our ALFING technologies create solutions which satisfy all the high demands associated with the product – the crankshaft.
Thus the teamwork between the customer and ALFING is one of our key secrets to success.
Crankshaft technology at ALFING means:
- Development and preparation of series production in a joint project by ALFING crankshaft experts
- State-of-the-art CAD/CAM equipment for unrestricted information exchange
- Experienced testing laboratories for material and mechanical strength tests
- Development and manufacture of our own induction hardening machines
- The latest surface treatment processes – some developed in-house
- Our own prototype crankshaft production for fast manufacture of crankshafts for testing, prototypes and racing crankshafts
- Optimal series production through tests carried out at the development stage of production processes and technologies, including tool management
- Higher component strength through surface treatment, e.g. induction hardening on ALFING-developed induction hardening machines
- All necessary measurement and test procedures such as crack detection, material testing of torsional, bending and fatigue strength.
By the start of series production, your crankshaft will be ready for series manufacture in every respect: production technology, cost-efficiency and transport logistics – thanks to ALFING crankshaft technology!
