Research and development activities focused on qualifying new materials and technologies<br />

in order to meet the demands of future generations of engines. Bearings resistant to<br />

heavy oil for medium-speed diesel and gas ship engines were further developed, and new<br />

lead-free bearing solutions with electroplated tin running layers for trucks are being developed.<br />

In the future, engine bearing <strong>technology</strong> should also be able to find uses beyond<br />

the field of combustion engines. The area of wind turbines is particularly rich in potential<br />

for transmission and rotor bearings. Since the beginning of the product development<br />

process, <strong>Miba</strong> has been working in conjunction with customers. New generations of<br />

bearings feature higher load capacity and lower operating risk, making it possible,<br />

for example, to meet new environmental regulations.<br />

<strong>Miba</strong> Automation Systems is a part of the Bearing Group and focuses successfully<br />

on the market niche of special machinery. Automation Systems develops, designs and<br />

builds special machinery as well as mobile machining centers for highly accurate<br />

machining of large components. Our unique selling position in Europe brings us an<br />

encouragingly high order volume and a good level of capacity utilization. The relocation<br />

and expansion of the assembly plant has created the necessary conditions for further<br />

large orders and profitable growth.<br />
