Hengst and LiCON: Twin-spindles for more competitiveness

Cycle time and energy savings for the manufacture of filter housings

The specialist for filtration solutions, Hengst Filtration, a manufacturer of car and truck filters, relies on the expertise of the Upper Swabian machine tool builder LiCON. Two automated machining cells – consisting of five twin-spindle machining centers with fixtures and robots using grippers from LiCON’s own design – were installed as turnkey. The decision for LiCON was based on a multitude of productive advantages and environmental considerations.
