LMC Workholding Offers Alpine Metal Tech Products
June 1, 2014
LMC Workholding is now offering Alpine Metal Tech GmbH products in North America for the alloy wheel manufacturing industry.
Alpine Metal Tech, part of Montana Tech Components AG, offers products worldwide under the brand names of Numtec and MAKRA. Numtec supplies machines and devices for the production of aluminum passenger car wheels with a primary focus on the handling, coding, identifying and measuring of the wheel at various stages of the manufacturing process. MAKRA machines provide aluminum wheel testing and help enable aluminum wheel producers, inspection authorities and automobile manufacturers to ensure that all standards, regulations and safety requirements are fulfilled.
One such machine is the MAKRA Impact Test Machine. "Accident research demands that automobile wheels survive under the heaviest of loads," said a company spokesperson. "The MAKRA Impact Test Machine simulates these extreme conditions. By selecting the desired amount of weight to be dropped, the drop height and the angle of the wheel at impact, a wide range of conditions can be simulated. These conditions include striking a curb or hitting a pothole."
"We are delighted to be able to work with Alpine Metal Tech. Our LMC wheel chucks keep us very close to the wheel industry and these new products are a great addition," said Jay Duerr, President of LMC Workholding.
Founded in 1916, LMC Workholding offers engineering, manufacturing and a full range of products, including chucks, cylinders and workholding devices.
