VP 160A
The individual elements of the case are cast on Europe's most modern casting implements. The aluminium is approx. 700° C hot. This lost form for a part of the case weighs about 1500 kg.

Now and then small parts are made by hand - as in the good old days ...
|
 |
There they lie now, the lighting of the hall is switched off, it's leisure-time. Tomorrow comes the final assembly of the case. |
 |
The casting edge of a middle part is grinded and machine finished. This is a particularly critical process, as a high dimensional accuracy has to be achieved with rough machines. A great deal of experience and fine feeling is required here. |
 |
The delicate inwards are cleaned and grinded to fit. In the assembling of the individual parts later on everything has to fit, no part may disturb or jam.
|
 |
Air holes that have possibly been shut in during the casting are eliminated.
|
 |
Before the installation the completely cast piece is levelled and checked for rough dimensional accuracy. The fine adjustment is made during the final assembly. |
