In addition to engine and transmission parts, a variety of other important parts are manufactured within the automotive industry, such as turbochargers, steering knuckles, housings and brake parts.

The solutions and tools provided by Tessa Precision are backed by in-depth application expertise. With a professional engineering team that supports the automotive industry with multiple quality solutions, we have a strong presence in the international market as well. Selected high-productivity solutions to some of the challenging features of part production are presented here.

Turbocharger

A turbocharger is a forced induction device driven by a turbine that increases the efficiency and power output of an internal combustion engine by forcing additional air into the combustion chamber.

A turbocharger is a forced induction device driven by a turbine that increases the efficiency and power output of an internal combustion engine by forcing additional air into the combustion chamber.

In order to increase engine efficiency while reducing engine size, these systems have complex structural characteristics and need to ensure high manufacturing accuracy.

The material on the high-temperature side of the turbocharger must be able to withstand temperatures of approximately 1,300°C, which is why gasoline engines usually use austenitic stainless steel. Machining abrasive materials is often characterized by extremely short and irregular insert life, uneven wear and difficulty in achieving tight workpiece tolerances.

case

A large number of different housings are used in the automotive industry to protect and hold parts together in assemblies, such as flywheel housings and gearbox housings

steering knuckle

The steering knuckle is the pivot point of the steering system, allowing the wheels to turn.

The steering knuckle is the part that contains the wheel hub or axle and is secured to the suspension components. It goes by various names such as knuckle, shaft, column or hub. The wheel and tire assembly is secured to the hub or axle of the steering knuckle, where the wheels rotate while being held in a stable plane of motion by the steering knuckle/suspension assembly. Steering knuckles come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Its different designs meet the needs of various applications and suspension types.

brake caliper

The brake pad is assembled into the brake caliper, and it is here that the brake pad comes into play during braking operation.

The vehicle's brake calipers are equipped with brake pads, and it is these parts that play a role during the vehicle's braking operation. Since brake calipers are a component related to vehicle safety, they have very high manufacturing and quality requirements. For these types of parts, economical manufacturing is very important.
