and excited to have been selected as a differential supplier to
BMW," said Bill Carroll, Dana's acting president and chief
operating officer. "Dana is committed to continuous improvement and
process advancements that enable us to meet BMW's stringent
requirements for this performance vehicle." Dana utilised a
high-speed, environmentally-friendly machining process to cut the
gears to the precise dimensions required to meet the final system
specifications. The front differential components are assembled at
Dana's new manufacturing facility in Orangeburg, S.C., using
leading-edge manufacturing systems to ensure the finished
differential meets BMW expectations for fit and performance. Dana's
quality assurance technology in Orangeburg employs 100 per cent
on-line coordinate measuring devices, which, in real-time,
integrate the final machined dimensions of the gears and housing,
calculating their optimum relative positions for final assembly.
The process verifies that the incoming components are within
specification, and then determines the best final assembly
positions from the actual dimensions of these incoming components.
