Haldex: Improved heavy-duty machining of brake calipers with LiCON twin-spindle machine

Haldex improved heavy duty machining of calipers for trucks and trailers with LiCON twin-spindle machining centers

Haldex, a leading brake system supplier for trucks and truck trailers, has improved productivity significantly. Before finding a better solution with LiCON, the standard machining concept consisted of robust single-spindle machines with four axes. The tomb stone type fixtures required long tools, which lead to chattering while machining the GJS 600 material. With LiCON twin-spindle machining center in 5-axis execution, the challenges are perfectly managed.
