ATS Drives Improved Reliability for Major Automotive Supplier The leading tier-one automotive supplier was looking for a way to extend the service life of its Lindedmaier ball screws. Since the ball screws were used on multiple machines and had to be custom ordered from Germany, often with long or sporadic lead times, the automotive supplier needed a more reliable solution. ATS quickly put together a plan to reverse engineer the current ball screws in inventory to create a longer lasting, more reliable product. ATS produced 12 ball screws with a more

durable ground gothic arch thread design that matched the technical specification of the original ball screws. The result—usage level dropped from 22 to 11 replacements per year. resulting in a cost savings of $44,275.00 for the customer.
