Step 2

New material is added

Step 3

Surplus material is removed on the diameter wished by the customer

  • Enlargement or reduction in the inside or outside diameter without using wear bushes
  • Application of chamfering or radit to the inside and outside diameter
  • Lengthening or shortening
  • Reviewing the fit
  • Milling of 3D contours
  • Permanent connection of base bodies with wearing bushings
  • Placement of new filling openings and vaccum holes
  • Integration of pin holes and surfaces as protection against twisting
  • Placement of slots and holes to disturbe lubrication
  • Adaption of U-shaped filling openings into filling openings that are closed at the front by integration a bar
