Case study: how a special broach optimized the production cycle of an automotive customer

One of our long-standing customers in the automotive industry needed fast and reliable machining of keyways in hardened steel parts. Standard tools were not meeting the accuracy and wear resistance requirements.

After analyzing the manufacturing process, our engineers developed a custom broach with an improved geometric profile and special coating. The results:

• Part processing time was reduced with 30%
• Tool life increased by over 40%
• The number of defective parts dropped significantly

This is an example of how, with the right partner and individual approach, a real competitive advantage can be achieved.
