to supply both the front- and rear-axle differentials for the BMW
X5SAV speaks to Dana's solid technical capabilities," said Michael
J. Burns, Dana CEO and president. "As we prepare to celebrate 100
years of advancing automotive innovation, we remain dedicated to
enhancing these technologies in order to anticipate andsatisfy the
high standards of the world's leading vehicle manufacturers." The
front and rear differentials are assembled at Dana's recently
opened manufacturing facility in Orangeburg, S.C., using
sophisticated manufacturing systems to ensure the finished
differentials meet the stringent expectations BMW has for
performance. Dana's quality assurance technology in Orangeburg
employs 100-percent on-line coordinate measuring devices, which
integrate the final machined dimensions of the gears and housing in
real time, while also calculating their optimum relative positions
for final assembly. The process verifies that incoming components
are within specification and then determines the best final
assembly positions from the actual dimensions of the components.
Dana is employing advanced manufacturing processes to incorporate
face-hob ring gear and pinion tooth geometry, which relies on a
high-speed, environmentally friendly machining process to cut the
gears to the precision dimensions required by the final system
specifications. Dana Corporation is a global leader in the design,
engineering, and manufacture of value-added products and systems
for automotive, commercial, and off-highway vehicles. Delivering on
a century of innovation, the company's continuing operations employ
approximately 45,000 people worldwide dedicated to advancing the
science of mobility. Founded in 1904 and based in Toledo, Ohio,
Dana operates technology, manufacturing, and customer-service
facilities in 30 countries. Sales from continuing operations
totaled $7.9 billion in 2003. Dana's Internet address is
