The Schlote Group has built a new factory in Harzgerode, which is geared towards the mass production of a component. Mapal supplies all the machining tools for it. The component, an aluminum die-cast clutch housing, is produced in large quantities for automotive manufacturers. The factory in Harzgerode has a high degree of automation and currently produces 4,000 pieces per day. By optimizing the tools, tool life has been increased, tool costs have been reduced, and production quantity has been increased. A new optimization concerns deep hole drilling for oil channels, where PCD tips are now used. Mapal has developed a new tool solution for deep hole drilling at Schlote. The new tool consists of a solid carbide drill with a PCD cutting edge, which allows for significantly longer tool life. Production at Schlote in Harzgerode has been running for five years and is at 900,000 pieces per year. The company now plans to convert the factory to produce other components, including six different components for a new hybrid model of a supercar manufacturer and clutch housings for electric vehicles.

The article reports that ZF wants to help shape change and has created more freedom in development and production and has always been known for its automatic transmissions. It mentions company announced that it would no longer invest in transmissions that were developed exclusively for vehicles with internal combustion engines. It also mentions clear sustainability goals across the entire supply chain are becoming increasingly important.

Renk GmbH, a specialist in fully automatic transmissions for heavy military tracked vehicles, relies on WFL-Millturn machines for the complete machining of transmission components. Renk's transmissions are used for the propulsion, steering, and braking of the vehicles. The required components for the transmissions are manufactured in three production segments, with the rotary parts with gears being particularly well suited for complete machining on the WFL-Millturn machines. By using these machines, prototype transmissions and small series can be produced economically. The machines enable efficient use of capacity and improve productivity and work safety.

The article focuses on mechanical and plant engineering is considered to be the driver of digitization in the manufacture of vehicles, especially in the powertrain area. It mentions virtual animations are particularly helpful for complex components such as automatic transmissions or to test in good time how drive parts can be assembled and maintained as leanly as possible. It also mentions intelligent logistics robots, data analysis and virtual simulation of logistics processes.

The article offers information on 80th anniversary of automation within the automobile industry. It mentions that General Motors was the first car manufacturer in the world to put the fully automatic Hydra-Matic into series production as early as 1940, after first semi-automatic transmissions in the 1930s. It also informs on Carl Benz motor vehicles.

The article offers information on the history of use of torque automatic transmission within automobile industry. It mentions that there is an oil-filled torque converter between the engine and transmission. It also mentions that by using the stator, torque is ultimately converted: arranged between the pump wheel and the turbine wheel, the stator deflects the flow of oil in such a way that the turbine wheel experiences additional acceleration.

The article offers information on the use of double clutch transmission within automobiles. It mentions that double clutch transmission works with two multi-plate clutches, each of which serves a partial transmission, and with the both divide the gears among themselves, the first clutch sends the torque to the gears of the odd gears 1, 3, 5 and 7, and the second clutch operates gears 2, 4 and 6 as well as the reverse gear.

The article informs that Kratzer GmbH & Co. KG uses the Jumat cylindrical grinding machine to manufacture highly complex workpieces for double clutch transmissions. Topics include Junker's grinding machine concept, which is precisely tailored to customer requirements, enables flexible grinding operations; and Junker Jumat to manufacture transmission parts for complex high-performance transmissions in sports cars and advanced tools for the production of the demanding components.
