Engine development and production technology at the research location Styria has gained a valuable addition in the form of a new grinding machine for research at the Institute of Production Engineering, TU Graz. "Without suitable manufacturing techniques even the most promising developments are unrealistic," says Franz Haas, head of the Institute of Production Engineering. His team now have a tailor-made and thus unique grinding machine. New levels of precision machining. The machine has dimensions of 3.5 x 2.5 x 5.5 metres and a weight of about 40 tons, was designed by the GST company in Lower Austria, and was built with the help of several parts suppliers among which are Siemens - a partner of TU Graz of many years - and the Austrian company Lubot and Framag, and commissioned in the halls of the Institute in Kopernikusgasse.
