Automotive
Process control solutions for automotive component heat treatment.
Working with automotive OEMs and the supply chain industry for over three decades, we have developed process- and application-specific know-how to help companies achieve process optimization in manufacturing as well as ensure that heat treated automotive components meet or exceed performance and design expectations. High-end manufacturers of luxury vehicles, motorsports and racing teams, OEMs, and suppliers of parts and systems for everyday vehicles and SUVs have all benefited from our applications expertise and services for many of their engine, transmission, and structural components.
Nitrex systems can be used as stand-alone solutions or in a production cell with complete lights-out operation to support production and final assembly lines. Our manufacturing 4.0 solutions include our proprietary software, controllers, carts, loading, and unloading stations that can be customized to meet your TAC times and annual production volumes. These solutions have proven their sustainability and efficiency in the high-volume automotive industry and can support any type of production volume.
