The turbocharger has been a mainstay in the automotive industry for some time. State-of-the art turbochargers are used extensively in diesel vehicles, while almost all automotive manufacturers offer a turbocharged petrol engine. Why? The turbocharger makes comparable performance with a smaller engine capacity possible, which in turn contributes to the advance in downsizing. Turbochargers also help reduce fuel consumption and are therefore fundamental in meeting emissions limits.
With turbochargers being so integral to automotive powertrain units, Mapal has set about developing an entire range of production solutions and cutting tools for the complete machining process. The company’s tangential turning tools are the latest addition.
