Felss HMP Model UR5-4 DD for Steering Shafts
Since the acquisition of the HMP companies in 2019, the Felss product portfolio has also included a wide range of rolling technologies and systems.
Together with a customer from the USA, the pre-acceptance of a HMP Rotary Swaging Transfer Line, model UR5-4 DD was recently successfully completed.The fully automated system not only provides efficiency, but also the necessary precision to produce steering shafts in just 16 seconds per piece - thanks to the powerful combination of rotary swaging, turning station and an axial forming unit.
The pre-commissioning took place in the Felss assembly plant in Pforzheim, together with the Tier 1 customer.
In use internationally: Following the preliminary acceptance test, the line is now heading to Mexico, where it will go into series production this year.
