One particular car manufacturer is currently relying on Witte's meisterbock concept to improve the quality of their vehicles. After four successfully completed projects earlier this year a further series of meisterbocks in Alufix is in process for them comprising of
1. Match metal fixture underbody
2. Match metal fixture sidepanels (left and right)
3. Outer meisterbock
The time frame for the project is approx. 12 weeks.
Match metal fixure:
All the single parts of the underbody are mounted in car line according to the joining sequence. If required the single underbody parts can be screwed together, resulting in a complete underbody:
Match metal fixture sidepanels (left and right):
Also here all single components belonging to the sidepanels are mounted in actual car position and joining sequence resulting in a left and right hand sidepanel. The sidepanels mounted on the bock can also be joined to the underbody bock. Adding on the car roof results in a complete screwed version of a body-in-white.
Outer meisterbock:
On an outer meisterbock all outer sheet metal parts of a vehicle are checked i.e. design and manufactured quality of outer skin parts and how they fit together. This could include for instance the join and gap between hood and fender.
The outer meisterbock comprises of a basic structure assembled in reusable standard Alufix components. Welded sub-assemblies like sidepanels or doors are mounted in car line on specially milled and configured part-specific contact points. It is also possible to adapt contact points for add-on parts like bumper or mirrors.
