The Operation Management is completely based on the ISO 9001 standards and it is audited yearly and certified by Den
Norske Veritas (DNV), which allows us to have a constant monitoring of the performance indicators and continuous
improvement.
We are located in an area of about 30.000 square meters and, from the arrival of the raw material
to the assembly of the product, all the procedures are accomplished with the latest technology equipment.
The
manufacturing secret of any gearbox is in the quality of the housing manufacture and especially on the quality of
the teeth parts, the pinions and the gears. We dispend some special attention to these parts, from the purchase of
the raw material strictly within the project specifications, to the thermal treatments during production and
machinery that guarantees the expected geometry, and all this translates into more product resistance and
durability.
During the assembly process, the gearboxes follow a work plan that guarantees another check of
all the components. We are careful to assemble gears in shafts without using a press, and using only the contraction
and expansion of the parts. Any subset that will spin over 900 RPM goes through a dynamic balancing process that
guarantees low levels of vibration.
Our testing area have isolated and aligned stands that bear gearboxes
with over 30 tons. This stable, flat and without distortions base ensures and ideal environment to perform
operational tests before the delivery to our customers in 100% of the gearboxes sold.
Besides the
international standards and certifications, we develop our own quality tests.
All of this guarantees that our
gearboxes are the best in their segment. A good example is the WBX gearbox line, winner of the IF Design Awards, one
of the most important industrial design prizes of the world.
