The cropped blank is heated in a furnace to the correct forging temperature and then drop forged in this hot state using high press forces. b. Following this, the flash is then removed using flash-removal presses. 3. Grinding & vibro-deburring The subsequent grinding process ensures the tool has a smooth outside surface. Any sharp edges and flash still remaining are then removed by vibro-deburring. 4. CNC machining The internal shaping of the ratchet head is machined exactly to size in a machining centre. 5. Hardening and tempering This special heat treatment ensures the longest possible service lifetimes. The tool’s tensile strength is provided by precise hardening to a given temperature and the high level of ductility by the tempering process. 6. Sand blasting To make sure the ratchet has a matt, non-slip surface, we sand-blast it. 7. Electroplating The surface is given durable anti- corrosion protection and a high-quality satin-finish appearance. 8. “Marriage” & final assembly This process involves bringing together the body and internal mechanisms. The handle, internal mechanisms and cover are fitted. The tool’s functionality is thoroughly checked. The inherent qualities of ELORA ratchets are also very impressive. The fine-toothed precision-made gearing that ensures concentricity and maximum functionality. The individual production steps leading up to the “marriage” of outer body and inner mechanisms all require extensive know-how coupled with an enthusiastic attention to detail. 6. 5. 8. 7.
