In the automotive industry, where efficiency and precision go hand in hand, MAPAL offers highly specialised machining solutions. The expertise ranges from classic combustion engines to the latest drive technologies in electric vehicles. With an extensive portfolio of cutting tools and customised manufacturing solutions, MAPAL supports automotive manufacturers and suppliers in the production of precise and durable components.
As a supplier of cutting tools for the automotive industry, MAPAL incorporated this topic into the company's strategic orientation at an early stage. And transferred its expertise in machining the conventional power train to the components to be machined in electrically powered vehicles.
For the raw materials often used in Fluid power such as cast iron, steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metal, MAPAL provides economical process solutions due to great expertise in bore machining as well as milling applications. When it comes to demanding machining for hydraulic and pneumatic parts in different dimensions, customers have relied on MAPAL’s expertise for many years.
Die and mould makers expect high process and product expertise from their cutting tools manufacturer. This is because the tool life of the moulds to be created and the precision of the moulded parts are extremely important for competitiveness in mass production. Therefore, they require their tools to offer the highest levels of precision, a long tool life, and – above all – process reliability
In the aerospace industry, materials that are both high-strength and lightweight is the key. By making use of new combinations of materials, weight can be reduced further, strength and corrosion resistance can be increased and assembly can be simplified by using an integrated design. Whereas structural parts made of aluminium, titanium or high strength steel are machined on machining centres or gantry machines, final assembly machining is carried out by handheld machines, drill feed units or robots.
Responsible use of resources, protecting the environment and keeping CO2 emissions to a minimum wherever we can – these have been MAPAL’s commitments since day one.
