Glossary

During polishing material is removed which results in a smoothing of the surface. For this purpose a paste with polishing grains is used which slightly remove the material during the polishing process and thus remove unevenness. This process is crucial to minimize the friction of workpieces in mechanical components or to prepare them for subsequent processing.

Powertrain is the term used to describe the group of components in a motorized vehicle that generate energy and release it to road surfaces water or air. These include engines transmissions drive shafts differentials and the axle drive.

A production cells is a automated unit in which one or more machining processes are carried out on a workpiece.

Prototyping it the process of creating early versions of a product to test basic form or functionality. This allows specifications to be adapted for later versions. Prototyping is often the step between formalization and evaluation of an idea.
