Electrical industry

Digitalisation in focus

New technologies and materials enable new products and open up new markets. The new production and information technologies are significantly and sustainably transforming entire industries. Today, the electrical industry no longer consists of the electrical appliances and power supply sectors.

News on e-mobility

Miniaturisation of electronic components

Individual sectors of the electrical industry include plant construction, automation, batteries, electrical energy technology, cables, capacitors, transformers and the energy transition. The fields of information technology, smart living, IT security and, last but not least, the connection to automotive industry are steadily gaining importance: electric vehicles.

In addition, the electrical industry can be seen as the leading industry for digitalisation and thus Industry 4.0. It is also one of the largest export sectors in Germany.

Research-intensive sub-sectors such as terminals, switches, sensors and actuators, with which the electrical industry contributes to the further development of Germany as a business location, are also important for the digitalisation of the entire economy. Components such as these require absolute process reliability, a reduction in interfaces, components, electrical contacts and cables, as well as a high process reliability in manufacturing, which defines the direct requirements for the tools used.

Gühring, with its unique depth of production and innovative strength, meets these requirements in a special way.

Drilling is also a central component of microtechnology. In addition to standard micro-precision drills, Gühring’s micro-precision drill programme also offers special tools to customer requirements for both HSS-E-PM and solid carbide micro-precision drills. Due to increasing miniaturisation, especially in telecommunications and IT, such user-friendly and stock drilling tools are increasingly required. Compared to competing processes such as laser drilling, the micro-machining scores with easier integration into the manufacturing and cost-effectiveness.

With the thread production and the reaming in the micro range, the mere miniaturisation of tools is not enough to achieve a satisfactory result. The aim here is to enable the series production of electronic components, as well as precision engineering and optical goods. Therefore, the process reliability and tool life are important to prevent unnecessary tool change cycles and to ensure a cost-effective production in the micro range.

These conditions require manufacturing technologies that are tailored to the product. Gühring’s special expertise in tool manufacturing and grinding quality makes it possible to fulfil these requirements for micro machining as well. Key factors here include Gühring’s own carbide as well as cutting edge geometry and coating.

The challenges of the future clearly recognised

The mobility of our future will change. E-mobility is a key issue in the energy transition, and electric vehicles are an important part of the transport transition. E-motors have application in both hybrid vehicles and purely electric vehicles.

As a traditional supplier of the automotive industry, Gühring has been dealing with the challenges of e-mobility since the beginning of the electrification of the industry. From original equipment and retooling to the refurbishment of tools and Tool Management, we stand for competent solutions from a single source.
