Sansera Engineering in India manufactures components for the automotive and aerospace industries. The quality requirements for engine parts are extremely high and always pose new challenges for Sansera. For this company, highly precise coordinate measuring machines and holistic quality assurance solutions from ZEISS are the key to being a reliable partner and meeting customer specifications.
Thousands of different components must be perfectly matched to ensure that a vehicle’s engine works without a hitch. Design errors can sometimes have serious consequences. Connecting rods, for example, link the crankshaft with the pistons and transfer both the inertial and gas forces from the vehicle to the crank pins on the crankshaft, causing the connecting rod to move the pistons in the cylinder up and down. If the connecting rods are not manufactured to specification, then these can damage the crankshaft and, in the worst-case scenario, the entire engine.
