Engineering Excellence: Gilman Precision’s Collaboration with Sustainable Vehicle Brand
A sustainable automotive brand known for its cutting-edge technology and innovative electric vehicles was challenged with designing the aluminum front and rear beam structures for the bumper mounts of a new electric car model. The team turned to Gilman Precision for its unparalleled expertise in engineering and customer service. With a legacy of delivering high-quality linear and rotary motion systems, Gilman Precision stepped in to ensure the bumper mounts met the standards consumers have come to expect from this industry leader.
How Gilman Ensured Durability in Bumper Mounts
The automotive team had a clear vision of the final product they wanted but needed clarification on the specific project requirements. This led to multiple, in-depth meetings between the engineers on both teams to align on spindle and slide specifications and goals. Given the project’s complexity, which involved compound assembly for a multi-axis module, careful attention was given to ensure the safety and reliability of the end product. Gilman’s expertise and collaborative approach were crucial in navigating these challenges and delivering a solution that met the automotive leader’s high standards.
The project required precise machining processes such as drilling, reaming, and milling while adhering to stringent geometric dimensioning and tolerances (GD&T). The bumper mounts were crafted using belt-driven spindles and ball screw-driven low-friction LG slides, ensuring optimal performance and durability. To further optimize the reliability of the modules, Gilman Precision designed covers to prevent aluminum chips from contaminating the assembly, showcasing a commitment to preventative maintenance and long-term functionality.
