Truing of structural components
During the automatic or manual truing of cast aluminium components, points that are critical for subsequent installation of the part are first measured and straightening gauges are then used until the parts comply with the preset shape. Truing is thus a prerequisite for ensuring that subsequent process steps can be carried out smoothly, for example in car body manufacture.
From mid-2012 onwards, the truing of parts produced in high volumes will be automated at Hanomag Aluminium Solutions using appropriate facilities.
