DIESEL INJECTION TECHNOLOGY

With the first common rail direct injector production vehicle in 1997, a new dimension in high pressures began, along with increased accuracies in the components of the pump, valve and injector system assemblies. Bahmüller has decisively contributed to this evolution in the serial production of diesel technology. The components became smaller, but the grinding tasks became increasingly more complex. Bahmüller also decisively advanced the combination of internal and external grinding on one part, by which more and more spindles were required in one clamping, into complex machining and brought unrivaled clamping and drive systems to the market, such as hydrostatically mounted middle clamping, in which the front and rear side of the part are ground simultaneously. Ever-shortening cycle times and the associated shortening of part changing times led Bahmüller to become a loader manufacturer, since this kind of flexible technology was not on the market.

HIGH PRESSURE PUMP (COMMON RAIL)

HIGH PRESSURE SEATING (MIDDLE CLAMPING)


Specific components and process features:

  • axes designed wear-free through hydrostatics
  • best acceleration values through linear motor drives
  • highest quality through hydrostatic linear axes without reversal backlash
  • wear-free work piece headstock through hydrostatic bearing
  • specifically configured dimensional check station integrated in processing machine
  • optimized cycle time through coordinated oversizes
  • simultaneous engineering through independent TEC center
  • specially configured post-process measurement technology
  • optimized quality through simultaneous machining from both sides
  • specially configured grinding mandrel with a length of approx. 75 mm protruding out of mandrel fixture (incl. abrasive coating)
  • start-up oriented, machine-internal automation that is operated ahead of time, manually loaded





This allows us to achieve:


  • roundness on ground seat <0.6 μm
  • concentricity of seat to bore simultaneously ground from the other side < 1.5 μm
