PRODUCTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
Alloy wheels from Wheel Manufacturer for Brock & RC-Design impress with excellent stability and highest security. They also have exceptionally long lifetimes. Certified management systems in quality, environment and energy are installed along the entire value chain and help us to improve new product generations continually.
Design finding
Alloy wheels from Brock distinguish by their superior optics. But that is not everything, technical aspects like Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) and other technological innovations complete every wheel project in its individual and recognizable shape.
Modern software allows the design of mathematical and topologically perfect geometries already in the planning phase. So every single, for the strength irrelevant gram, is saved to protect natural resources such as aluminum or fuels on the one hand, while ensuring an outstanding driving experience on the other hand.
As we signal with our motto “stagnation is regression”, technical innovations have a center position in our company processes and they are also the drive for our Change Management Department.
Alloy casting
Brock Alloy Wheels only uses raw materials from renowned suppliers. The incoming aluminum is scanned and the data is transfered to the ERP system to ensure a complete traceability at all times. Before they can be used in the production process, each piece of aluminum hast o pass through our own spectral tests.
Tool construction
We have installed our own individual tool construction and we believe that our high-tech facilities help to improve our customer service. The combination of the most modern software and innovative machinery leads to higher precision, flexibility and efficiency. Through continuous improvements, we can increase our accuracy and supply permanently without rising costs. Our highly qualified tool construction works on the molds and moldings all the time.
Melting & Casting
Cast Aluminum Alloys are heated to temperatures above their melting points to proceed with them in liquid form. With the addition of additives, the melt can be influenced by its properties.
X-Ray
All the incoming aluminum is scanned and the data is transferred to our PPS-System, in order to ensure a complete backtracking at any time. Before they are used in the production process, every piece of aluminum goes through our own spectral tests. Because the wheel is a safety component and is subjected to high stresses, it must have a consistent, blowhole- and pore- free metal structure. Therefore, at Brock every single wheel is checked in a completely automated X-Ray cabin. If there are critical errors, and parts that do not meet our requirements, they will be melted down again.
Heat Treatment
With our high tech systems, the wheels can be heated to very high temperatures to cool them down very selective after that, fully automatic. In this method, the wheels are specially cured as needed, which improves the strenght to the utmost.
Structure optimizing machining
SOM is an accurate automated process where all the material, which is irrelevant for the strength of the wheel, is eliminated by modern CNC machines. These parts of the wheel are already determined in the early stages of the development process. The return of this material takes place in our own recycling process, which ensures a perfect use of the resources.
Surface finishing
Technology driven surface finishing procedures allow an infinite satisfaction of the customers demands concerning the individualization. It does not matter if the wheel should shine like a mirror, or if the matt aspect plays the bigger role, even a mixture is possible. For Brock Alloy Wheels, every solution is not a problem. Every surface finishing is finalized with a special clear varnish, which belongs not only to the most consistent, but also to the most eco-friendly options of coating.
Testing laboratory
Computer simulations are very helpful before the product goes into series production, but when it comes to the final inspection, computer simulations are not appropriate. At Brock Alloy Wheels we do not only investigate theoretically, we also do tests with the finished product. With our test facilities, Brock Alloy Wheels consists of an extensive Park of test stands, which are used by our trained personnel with highest precision.
