Wild Wetzikon grinds demanding engine and drivetrain components such as cam followers and valve components, sintered parts with complex geometries, and spacer rings and bearing assemblies. Work is carried out to drawing using flat, profile and double-disc grinding, with documented series reliability. For the functional surfaces we achieve the required tolerances even on complex geometries. Which parts make sense for your application is something we clarify from your drawing.
Flat and profile grinding is carried out on Mägerle and Blohm machines, while double-disc grinding, or flat honing, runs on Peter Wolters machines. This split allows us to select the right process for each component, with the required dimensional accuracy and surface finish. For sintered parts we additionally use clamping devices manufactured in-house. That way even porous structures and complex geometries can be machined reliably.
Spacer rings and bearing assemblies are machined by double-disc grinding, or flat honing, on our Peter Wolters machines, with both sides ground simultaneously. This simultaneous grinding produces low-stress, parallel parts with high thickness accuracy, which feeds directly into the service life of the bearing. Each batch is inspected and documented as required. We define the specific tolerances together with the inspection concept.
Sintered parts place particular demands on clamping technology and process parameters because of their porous structure and often complex geometries. On our Mägerle machines we machine them using clamping devices manufactured in-house, so a wide variety of geometries can be ground to size. The know-how required for this has grown over decades. If you are unsure, we can verify feasibility from a sample first.
Yes, we manufacture from small batches through to large-scale series with reproducible, documented quality. Decades of experience since 1969 ensure process reliability and on-time delivery, which matters especially for running automotive programmes. Series production capability is documented and, on request, evidenced batch by batch. Send us your drawing and we will confirm the process and the feasibility.
Cam followers transmit the motion of the camshaft to the valves, which is why their functional surfaces must meet the most stringent requirements for dimensional accuracy and surface finish. By using profile grinding on Mägerle and Blohm machines, we achieve the required tolerances even with complex geometries. This keeps the valve train reliable across the entire series. We document the values achieved as agreed.
For the automotive industry Wild Wetzikon grinds demanding engine and drivetrain components such as rocker arms and valve components, sintered parts with complex geometries, and spacer rings and bearing stacks. Work is carried out to drawing in surface grinding, profile grinding and double-disc grinding, series-reliable and documented. For the functional surfaces we achieve the required tolerances even on complex geometries. Which parts make sense for your application we clarify from your drawing.
Surface and profile grinding runs on machines from Mägerle and Blohm, and double-disc grinding or flat honing on Peter Wolters. This split makes it possible to choose the right process for each component, with the required dimensional accuracy and surface finish. For sintered parts we additionally use purpose-built clamping fixtures. This lets even porous structures and complex geometries be machined with process reliability.
Spacer rings and bearing stacks are machined in double-disc grinding, where both sides are ground at the same time. Simultaneous grinding produces low-stress, parallel parts with high thickness accuracy, which feeds directly into the service life of the bearing. Each batch is inspected and documented as required. We define the specific tolerances together with the inspection concept before the series starts.
Because of their porous structure and often complex geometries, sintered parts place special demands on clamping technology and process parameters. On our Mägerle machines we machine them with purpose-built clamping fixtures, so the most varied geometries are ground to size. The know-how required for this has grown over decades. In case of doubt we check feasibility beforehand using a sample, so no reject parts arise.
Rocker arms transfer the camshaft motion to the valves, which is why their functional surfaces must meet the highest demands on dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Through profile grinding on Mägerle and Blohm machines we achieve the required tolerances even on complex geometries. This keeps valve control reliable across the entire series. The values achieved we document by arrangement and prove per batch as required.
We manufacture from small series to large series with reproducible, documented quality. Experience since 1969 ensures process reliability and on-time delivery, which counts precisely in running automotive programmes. As a precision grinding shop from Wetzikon we tailor process and clamping to your component. Send us your drawing and we name the process, feasibility and a realistic delivery date.
