Automotive
The automotive sector constantly strives for innovation, efficiency, and reliability in manufacturing processes.
A common challenge is creating robust threaded connections in thin-walled materials and tubes, which are frequently used in vehicles.
Formdrill in the Fast Lane
The Formdrill system offers an excellent and cost-effective alternative, perfectly aligning with the demands of the automotive industry by addressing these challenges directly.
Bearing Linings
The formed bushing can be excellently utilized as a bearing lining. This is relevant for various rotating or hinged parts within a vehicle, such as in steering mechanisms or suspension systems.
Threaded Connections
The Formdrill system creates very strong, high-load threaded connections in thin-walled materials and tubes. It achieves this by forming a bushing and then threads from the parent material itself, without removing any material. This is critical for the durability and safety of vehicle components.
Fastening Points
Formdrill is used to create fastening points in components of the pedal system, exhaust systems, fuel or injection rails and much more.
