CrankStar
Microfinish/superfinish of crankshafts with the Thielenhaus CrankStar
Maximum precision for crankshaftsTo overcome the internal friction in the combustion engine alone, the average vehicle consumes up to 340 liters of fuel per year. With the demands for lower consumption, higher performance and sustainability, the requirements for the installed crankshafts are also increasing. Compact dimensions and precision-machined bearings and sealing seats are important contributions to the environmental balance, performance and service life. The Thielenhaus CrankStar for crankshaft precision machining is the perfect solution for the challenges facing engine manufacturers today.
The CrankStar series
Solution for the machining of crankshaftsCrankStar TX
The CrankStar surface finishing machine offers engine manufacturers a solution for their current requirements. It enables reduced friction values, maximum load capacity and low unit costs. With optimized finishing units and loading systems, it guarantees the shortest possible cycle times. The modular machine system with 1-X stations offers flexibility, while the horizontal alignment and small footprint allow good accessibility.
