| Client |
| The solution maid to one of the largest brake componets maker: plates [brake disc pads] and brke shoes [brake-drum]. |
|
|
|
 |
Situation |
| The brake shoes in the market were welded and presented manufacturing problems. |
|
|
|
 |
Pieces |
Drum brake shoes.
Year: 1995
|
|
|
|
| Challenge |
| The shoes were welded and the piece presented dimensional problems, in the shape, perpendicularity, among other distortions. |
|
|
|
 |
Solution |
By replacing the welding system with the rolling system to manufacture the shoes, we got to:
> solve the problems of distortions in the pieces, which now are beaded and not welded anymore;
> obtain improved quality and improved performance, attested by the pull-out tests, which were beyond all expectations of the assembling companies.
