Spherical plain bearings and spherical components are used in diverse areas: they are installed in a wide variety of ways in the aerospace industry as well as in the automotive and agricultural industries. In all areas, however, these parts are subject to the highest quality requirements, as they must function perfectly despite high loads.

Precise machining and production are therefore imperative. In addition, long-term process reliability and low cycle times are of utmost importance for the cost-efficient production of the required quantities in constantly growing industrial sectors.

Based on our decades of experience in superfinishing and the automation of manufacturing processes, our solutions meet these demands with precision.

In cooperation with our customers, we develop systems that meet any specific requirements.

In this way, maximum accuracy and consistent surface quality are achieved, even for individual components, with low unit costs.

• Increase of OEE through automation
• Fulfillment of the required qualities
• Increase of material carrying capacity
• Improvement of microgeometry
• Optimization of surface structure
• Competitive advantage through high flexibility

The rotary transfer machine Supfina Face generation: a flexible rotary transfer solution with a unique machine structure allowing the highest production volumes while also being flexible for maximum cost efficiency.

The development was based on the general standards of: cost efficiency, flexibility, safety and environment.
