Positioning and fixing pins made from high-performance ceramics by Doceram ensure a 40 times longer service life, with higher precision and reliability in welding operations. Compared to common hardened-steel pins, Cerazur ceramic positioning pins by Doceram offer extreme resilience and are shock-resistant, crucial in short-cycle times of automated lines, such as in car body construction, not affected by wear and deformation occurring with metallic pins.
Cerazur components are indeed able to keep their geometrical shape even in high temperatures and high mechanical stresses conditions. Ceramic is in addition not affected by welding splashes, avoiding production interruptions do the welding material deposition, also ensuring long service life high positioning accuracy. Those advantages justify the additional cost of high-performance ceramic components in automated short-cycle time industrial processes, for welding lines as well as others manufacturing lines, such as assembling and flange strengthening.
