Linear Motor Technology
The MAG Powertrain philosophy of high-speed machining includes accomplishing shorter machining times with high levels of machine availability. This entails the use of machine components resistant to wear and tear:
- Use of a gearless B-axis
- Use of linear motors in lieu of ball screws
Dry Machining
In each production process, there are processing strategies that can be optimized. Especially here valuable production time can be reduced and thus the piece costs can be lowered considerably. For this reason, MAG Powertrain is continuously working on new technologies to reduce or optimize processing times and quality.
Connecting Rod Fracturing & Assembly
The traditional method of manufacturing connecting rods calls for machining the crankshaft and pin bore holes in the connecting rod, and then separating the rod and cap to facilitate installation on the crankshaft. This was a difficult operation requiring extremely high-precision in machining the mating surfaces of the rod and cap.
