Case Studies

Reduction of weight through material redistribution

The Gear box is a currently mass produced component made of cast iron with a weight of approx. 230 kg. In order to increase the pay load and fuel efficiency of the trucks utlising these components, the weight of the casing must be reduced 

Schneider managed to successfully manufacture, mechanical process, X-ray scan and document 5  parts with a geometry of 750 x 650 x 300 mm within a mere 6 weeks.
The new part, also made of aluminium, now weighs approx. 80 kg, which results in a 150 kg weight saving.
