We were the first
company ever to take this approach in production. |
Rack and pinion
components are among the toughest parts to manufacture. They’re
extremely complex, and critical to the safe operation of
the automobile.
Not long ago, the approach was use a dedicated machine to
produce them. A custom piece of equipment that was expensive
and required long development time. As though the capital
investment wasn’t a large enough hurdle, these machines
offered little flexibility to accommodate product design
changes and improvements.
A tier-one manufacturer brought Nowak Machined Products into
the development process for a new rack-and-pinion component.
We used time-proven tooling, and intelligent pairing of CNC
machines as an alternative to the dedicated machine. We were
leaders in taking this approach in production.
The result was a part cost that went from the traditional
mid $25 range to $14. By implementing continuous process
improvements, today’s price per unit is even less.
This is what sets Nowak Machined Products
apart. It isn’t our equipment; it’s our thinking that makes
the difference — that makes Nowak more than capable.
