ZEISS Reduces Measurement Time By 80%
Pankl Racing Systems reduces its measuring time by 80% through in-process measurements with the help of ZEISS DuraMax and thus ensures the quality of its products.
Racing places high demands on engine makers – also regarding measuring technology. At its Bruck site Pankl Racing Systems therefore replaced almost manual measuring equipment with ZEISS measuring machines and saved up to 80% of measuring times.
Pankl Racing Systems AG is headquartered in Kapfenburg, Austria, specialises in lightweight components designed to withstand extreme mechanical stress. The company has around 1150 employees around the world who develop, produce and distribute engine and drive systems, as well as chassis parts for motorsport, luxury cars and helicopters.
Pankl manufactured its first connecting rods for motorsport back in 1985. Today, the company’s racing division is the market-leading supplier of engine and drive systems.
The Challenge: Demanding Requirements, Complex Measurement
“Lighter, more reliable and better quality,” says Mario Pichler, Head of Quality Assurance at Pankl Engine Systems, describing the constantly growing demands of Formula 1 motorsport teams on engine components. The engineers at Pankl are therefore tasked with designing parts so that they are as light as possible, yet able to withstand extreme forces on the track: “It is often a thin line between weight and sustainability,” says Pichler.
To push the boundaries of technology, a lot also has to be measured – not least during the production process. Until a few years ago, Pankl mainly used manual measuring equipment for these in-process measurements.
“This took a lot of time and was largely dependent on the skills of the employees,” remembers Pichler.
