What is a drawing die, what does a casting mould do, what wears on a spot weld gun? The knowledge base explains machines and parts from six industries in short, clear entries.
Six industries
Cable industry
From wire rod to the finished drum: these entries explain the machines of cable production and the parts that wear there.
Steel industry
From the electric arc furnace to the marking of the finished pipe: these entries explain equipment and parts from steel plant and rolling mill.
Automotive
Robots, weld guns, grippers and clamps: these entries explain components from body shop and assembly.
Petrochemical industry
Seals and valves keep media safely inside pumps and pipelines. These entries explain design and typical spare parts.
Mechanical engineering
Bearings and cylinders are found in almost every machine. These entries explain design, types and the data a spare parts request needs.
Food industry
Conveyors and drives keep lines moving. These entries explain design and typical spare parts – without promises of suitability.
How the entries are structured
Each entry starts with a short explanation in one or two sentences. It is followed by design and function, where the item is used and the parts that are typically replaced.
The entries describe general technical knowledge. They are no promise of availability, delivery time or suitability. Whether a specific part can be sourced is clarified with your request.
