Prototyping

MVO is the world's leading prototyper of steering racks for automotive-industry applications. All the equipment and facilities needed for this are in place at our Schwäbisch Gmünd location. In close cooperation with our customers, we verify and define in detail the specification requirements on the basis of drawings, in order then to produce the required steering-rack prototypes. All desired types of toothing can be produced, both constant-ratio and variable-ratio. The rack cross-section can also be executed in specified geometries (Y or D) if the customer requires. Extensive test procedures and system specifications are implemented in close coordination with our clients, in order that errors can be detected and eliminated at an early stage.
