The perfect technology combination

PARAT Technology convinced the international AGCO Group with an attractive trim part for a combine harvester.

At the beginning of the project, the development of a modular cladding concept with the best surface quality was of central importance.
The challenge was to combine different surface designs on large, complexly shaped components, whereby both aesthetic and technical requirements had to be met.

A joint decision was made in favour of combining two technologies (LFI/RIM) and two surfaces (foil/IMC) as the ideal solution.
The result was an optimised tool concept that not only offers high-quality surfaces, but also increases the serviceability of the large-area cladding by optimising the weight.
