Haldex Commercial Vehicle Systems announces the production of their two-millionth brake shoe at a New Generation Friction Center.

Haldex has updated four friction centers with one of the most progressive manufacturing processes in the relining industry, which includes new equipment upgrades and a 30-point inspection procedure to ensure product quality. Over the past two years, Haldex has invested over one million dollars to create New Generation Friction Centers.

These production upgrades has led to many significant process and quality improvements, the company said. Several steps have been automated to yield higher quality and productivity.

• A 100% increase in reline capacity
• Improved paint processing ensures that each shoe is sealed with premium corrosion protection
• New hydraulic riveters and regular torque testing eliminates the possibility of loose rivets
• Automated processes and a lean production layout decreases product transfer time and reduces work in process inventory which ultimately lessens turnaround time and helps lower customer costs
