Applications

Improving quality and reducing machining time
Development of tooling solutions aimed at specific automotive components is an important part of our working philosophy, allowing you to improve quality and reduce machining time.

“One shot” solutions and combination tools combining several operations reduce the number of tools needed for specific applications. Thereby you reduce the time needed for tool change and increase productivity.

Below you will find information about our focus areas in the automotive industry.

You can also read case stories from our customers, or specific technical performance examples.
 

Cylinder head

UNIMERCO offers a complete tooling program for machining of cylinder heads. The selection of tools is always based on a cost-benefit assessment, thus the solution often includes both standard and customized carbide and PCD tools for pre-finishing and finishing applications.

See brochure about cylinder head

Valve body

Whether you are machining valve bodies in brand-new machining centers or in a legacy transfer line, UM DANDIA™ solutions have proven effective for machining smooth and round spool bores. You will experience vibration-free machining and extra round bores. In addition, there is no need for fine PCD adjustments every time you replace a tool.

Steering housing

UNIMERCO has in-depth knowledge of machining aluminum parts. Our tool package for steering housing components gives you several benefits. 

For example, one shot tools and combination tools increase productivity considerably, and the surface finish is excellent.

Converter housing

The “one shot” solution for many of the features on converter housings is the result of extensive research and development activities. So why use the traditional drill and ream process? With UM DANDIA™ you can cut to finished size in “one shot”. The most important benefit from using “one shot” tools is reduced machining time.
