Ball machining
Superfinishing of spherical components
Spherical plain bearings and spherical components are used in diverse areas: they are installed in a wide variety of ways in the aerospace industry as well as in the automotive and agricultural industries. In all areas, however, these parts are subject to the highest quality requirements, as they must function perfectly despite high loads.
Precise machining and production are therefore imperative. In addition, long-term process reliability and low cycle times are of utmost importance for the cost-efficient production of the required quantities in constantly growing industrial sectors.
