Information

LKR Leichtmetallkompetenzzentrum Ranshofen is a subsidiary of AIT Austrian Institute of Technology and forms as “Light Metals Technologies Ranshofen” one of four business focus is centred around new aluminium and magnesium alloys and their application with steel parts and composites on vehicles. When developing lightweight components, one of the main challenges lies in the ability to reduce weight while also ensuring passenger safety during a crash.

The use of lightweight materials is one of the fastest growing trends in the automotive industry, which is reflected in the increased use of this technology in vehicle design. The application of light metals instead of steel means a huge reduction in weight, which in Turn has a positive effect on the energy efficiency and CO2 emissions of vehicles.

Striving to rise to these challenges, the Light Metal Technologies team of around 30 specialists has both cutting-edge simulation tools as well as a unique research infrastructure at its disposal. This allows new metal alloys and bespoke processes for metal forming and the casting of light weight components to be developed and prototyped.

The final casting products of our installations are mainly cast iron engine blocks and cylinder heads, aluminium cylinder heads, ventilated and solid brake discs, hydraulic components, compressor parts and rail brackets, being among the most important.

The three Business units within Loramendi S. Coop. share financial and commercial services and supplies. With a staff of over 150 people and a strong engineering level Loramendi S. Coop. focuses on the design, installation and commissioning of installations for foundry work which are tested I house before being delivered to the customer thanks to its own facilities.

Loramendi S. Coop. ‘s installations are designed to be in production 24 hour per day under the harsh conditions of foundries. They have a high degree of automation integrated into the handling section, employing the very latest technology available on the market in robotics and assembly.

Concerning Core Making Business Unit  and given the high technological content of developments, Loramendi S. Coop. has taken out many patents most notable among which is a core assembly process for manufacturing engine blocks called Key-core which was chosen by General Motors, Ford and Daimler Chrysler as the only approved process for making their cast iron engine blocks. This simultaneously made it the world leader in core-making lines for engine blocks. A leadership that continues today and is reflected in its customer portfolio: Fritz Winter, Eissenwerk Brühl, Halberg Guss, Tupy, Teksid, Weichai, Yuchai, FAW, Neosym, DCM, Kirloskar, Fagor Luzuriaga, Volvo, Scania among others.
