Energy production, energy efficiency, energy crisis – the topic of energy concerns us today more than ever. The growth of clean energy technologies is relentless, companies want to manage their energy budgets efficiently and the carbon footprint of products will probably become a sales criterion soon. Up to the end of the 19th century, energy was generated by means of human and animal power. The rapid progress brought about by the industrial revolution meant that faster, more efficient solutions were found. We’re talking about all kinds of special small power plants. WFL is also establishing itself in this sector with the complete machining of key components for small power plants: turbine, gear and generator shafts as well as valves and pump wheels have the highest shape and position tolerances and place high demands on their machining process. For the efficient production of such workpieces, a MILLTURN machine masters the necessary special technologies such as the milling of special profiles or large gears as well as the grinding of shaft parts including concentricity and roundness measurement – all in compliance with the highest precision requirements.
