Producing precision ball tracks in joint housings is one of the most complex tasks in automotive powertrain. Tight tolerances, hardened materials, and complex track geometries require stable machine structures, reliable kinematics, and a comprehensive automation solution. In the new EMAG blog, Andreas Liebrich, Senior Sales and Technology Expert for CV Joint Solutions, explains how these requirements are met by integrating the process chain. He talks about how soft turning, pre-milling, hard turning, and hard milling on the VSC 315 KBU, VSC 315 DUO KBU, and VSC 315 TWIN KBG machines merge into a closed manufacturing system - with minimal setups, high repeatability, and short cycle times. The full article offers in-depth insight into the manufacturing fundamentals of modern CV joints and demonstrates how precision ball tracks can be produced economically and with process reliability.
