In brief

Successful market launch for x-3Dprofile

x-3Dprofile stands for higher
efficiency in wheel geometry
measurement.

This new development has been very well received on the market: two auto manufacturers have already placed orders with Dürr Assembly Products for x-3Dprofile wheel geometry measurement - for new stands and for upgrade modifications. New systems have been ordered by sports car manufacturer Aston Martin for the company’s Gaydon (GB) facility and by Audi for Ingolstadt (Germany). Dürr Assembly Products will complete the modifications at Audi within a very short time frame - the upgraded stands will be ready for production at the end of the 2007 summer shutdown.
