TK Magazine | 1 | 2004 | The motto is precision Just a look at the drawings is enough to see that ThyssenKrupp Drauz faced a great fabrication challenge. The finishing of the Lamborghini Gallardo body also requires a lot of handwork. GALLARDO 71
72 GALLARDO An exquisite aluminum dress The body is assembled part by part, being welded only if it is absolutely necessary. This joining procedure is difficult with aluminum: for one thing, the object always has to be placed in such a way that the seam can be reached – which is why ThyssenKrupp Drauz has several custom-made rotating devices to bring the different parts into the right position. In addition, the excellent heat-conducting properties of the light metal diffuse the strong heat that develops throughout the material, causing it to stretch – and occasionally not return to its original shape after it has cooled down. But this must not happen, given the tolerances of one millimeter within the entire Gallardo frame and just twotenths of a millimeter for visible parts, for example the gap between door and frame. This is why the engineers have to consider aluminum’s special material characteristics when determining how the parts will be put together. Rivets, for example, do not produce heat distortion, and so are used wherever possible; the same with screws – which is why the Lamborghini Gallardo carries so many of them in invisible places. The mechanic uses a manual device or other equipment to press the punch rivets into the right combination to hold the material securely together; a loud pop sound can be heard – the rivet is in place, and the next is placed in the right spot. Many such pops create a wonderfully dotted line, which makes for a high level of solidity. The lower frame of the Lamborghini Gallardo is made first, either welded or riveted, depending on the construction requirements. It consists of three sections: front end and back end are attached to the floor, in the step that makes it apparent to the human eye for the first Luc Donckerwolke, who designed the Gallardo for Lamborghini, has realized a vision by using corners, edges and cuts to create style combined with function: robots and sensors ensure that the car body shell receives its ultimate shape.
