With ever more complex constituent components and ever smaller batch sizes, powertrain production is facing many challenges. For a large number of applications in this sector the heat-shrink assembly process is almost predestined. Where control cams and/or gears have to be mounted on shafts, heat shrink assembly brings about a considerable reduction in component weight whilst guaranteeing a high degree of functional density of the shaft. The process is also suitable for workpieces that are subject to high torque rates and great dynamic loads. The heat-shrinking specialists from EMAG Automation develop individual, flexible manufacturing solutions.
