Right now there is a big shift
in the automotive industry towards electric vehicles.
The new components needs different solutions,
different methods, strategies.
To be in the game you need to deliver.
My name is Norbert Düring.
I'm the manager of engineering projects
Automotive Europe located in Germany.
I started as a mechanic and I fell in love
with the metal cutting industry.
I really like applying the right tools with the right
cutting data and that is still driving me.
I have a fantastic team.
We have more than 150 years engineering experience between us.
We do a lot of projects for automotive industry,
for end customers but also projects for machine tool makers.
They are very often turnkey projects.
Here we work very close with
the machine tool maker to create the process,
to machine the component in the best possible way.
The key challenges with working on aluminum
is that the machines run with high feed and RPM.
The tools need to be balanced on a very small tolerance.
We work a lot with customized solutions.
They are adopted to the special needs from the customer.
The life cycle of components is getting shorter and shorter.
We need to be fast to understand the problem.
You need to be fast with the proposal,
with time study,
with engineering,
with collision check,
with CAM support,
and CAD support.
The question is not how many issues you have.
The question is how you are going to solve the issues.
This is where you can show your excellence
because with every obstacle you have,
you learn something new.
We always want to be the first choice
of customized solution for customer.
We want to provide the best possible solution on the market.
That is exactly what is driving us.
These are our strengths,
at Sandvik Coromant.
