Make-to-Order (MTO) is the classic production process for customised production. Make-to-Order means contract manufacturing. In this process, production takes place according to individual customer requirements and only begins after the customer has placed an order. Unlike Make-to-Stock (MTS), where production and stock levels are pre-determined, MTO components are only manufactured after receipt of a customer order.

In mechanical engineering, tension and compression springs are an important part of the design of mechanical systems, applications and uses. The properties of springs, such as their return force and spring constant, influence the performance and functionality of machines. In order to understand these properties and the vibration behavior of spring systems, we look in this article at the physical relationships between spring systems and the relationship between the natural frequency and resonance.

In this blog article, we will take a closer look at test equipment and positioning elements for sheet metal parts, explain their significance for production quality and examine their application in mechanical engineering. Quality control of sheet metal parts is crucial for ensuring product quality and customer satisfaction. Precision and accuracy are essential in mechanical engineering and special machine construction. Test equipment such as test pins, positioning bushings and other high-precision positioning elements are used here, which enable an effective and reliable check of the manufactured parts.

The retaining ring is one of the most important tools in construction. It is used to secure individual components and prevent axial movement. In this article, we will take a look at the different types of retaining rings, their features and their utilization.

This blog article provides an introduction to how couplings work and the different types used today.

Retaining rings are an important component of many machines and systems that serve to secure bearings, shafts, bolts and other components. A commonly used type of retaining rings is type C, which is manufactured according to the Japanese standard JIS. In this article, you will learn more about retaining rings C-type and the Japanese standard JIS.

Parallel keys and tapered keys are two common connecting elements in the mechanical engineering industry. They are used to create a force-locking connection between two components. In this article, the two key types are examined in more detail and their areas of application are explained.

The friction coefficient is a physical variable derived from the field of tribology for the friction between two objects. The friction coefficient sets the force that occurs during friction (frictional force) in relation to the force with which the objects are pressed together (pressing force). The friction coefficient is thus an important parameter when examining material wear and sliding properties. This article explains the basics of the friction coefficient, its measurement methods and its applications in technology.
