Haldex Commercial Vehicle Systems announced the production of its two millionth brake shoe at a New Generation Friction Center.
Haldex has updated four friction centers with new equipment upgrades and a 30-point inspection procedure to ensure product quality. Over the past two years, Haldex has invested over $1 million to create New Generation Friction Centers.
Several steps have been automated to yield higher quality and productivity.
- A 100% increase in reline capacity.
- Improved paint processing ensures that each shoe is sealed with premium corrosion protection.
- New hydraulic riveters and regular torque testing eliminates the possibility of loose rivets.
- Automated processes and a lean production layout decrease product transfer time and reduce work in process inventory, which ultimately lessens turnaround time and helps lower customer costs.
