In the field of metal-cutting gearing, increasingly complex and demanding component geometries require burr-free edges and precise surfaces in production. To prepare for these requirements, Framo Morat GmbH & Co. KG has expanded its competencies in gear cutting technology and added a RGC 350 deburring machine from TEC for GEARS to its machine pool. The Radial Gear Chamfering process allows defined and reproducible chamfers to be produced on the tooth front edges. This not only has a positive effect on the quality and functionality of the components, but is also decisive for the cost-effectiveness of parts production.

In October 2016, the new IATF 16949:2016 standard was published. It supersedes the ISO/TS 16949 standard, which has been the effective global quality standard in the automotive industry so far.

Morat (November 2017) and Framo Morat (January 2018) have successfully completed the conversion to the new standard.
