Beginning in 2022, the system will seal leak paths in aluminum die cast transmission cases and clutches in Slovakia. This contract is the fifth vacuum impregnation system purchased by this company since 2013. All systems integrate with machining, washing, and leak testing to create a fully automated environment.

“This CAPi is the second impregnation system investment in a long-term program. With one of the fastest impregnation cycle times, the system will seal four different transmission parts from three automotive OEMs.” Said Ralf Versmold Managing Director, Godfrey & Wing GmbH. “The CAPi enables continuous production with no direct labor in a sophisticated manufacturing environment.”
