50 PERCENT FASTER AND IMPROVED ERGONOMICS
THANKS TO MODULAR AUTOMATION SOLUTION

With the installation of a MATRIS system, which autonomously loads two NZX 2500s, AMG Goeke has ushered in the production of the future. AMG Alu Metall Goeke GmbH & Co. KG, which was founded in 1980 in Wickede / Ruhr, Germany, has its origins in surface finishing. The company increased its range of capabilities in 1988 with its entry into CNC production. AMG Goeke mainly supplies customers in the commercial vehicle sector, in particular the truck building industry. With technical competence and many years of experience, the 25-strong team manufactures high-precision components and sophisticated assemblies. For machining, AMG Goeke has always relied on DMG MORI. The company operates 15 models from the world’s leading manufacturer of machine tools, including several CTX and NLX lathes. The latest investment is an automated manufacturing cell consisting of two NZX 2500 twin-turret lathes and a MATRIS automation system for the machining of stub axles.
High demands on production are part of AMG’s daily business. “We have been producing safety-related components for truck building for 15 years,” says Ralf Goeke, who is an authorized signatory and responsible for quality management. His brother Andreas Goeke, also a second-generation family member who has led the company since 2003, adds: “Long-standing customer relationships with leading manufacturers and suppliers from the industry are proof of our high quality.”

In order to be able to meet the high demand, AMG always works three shifts. “This means we can make optimum use of our machines,” explains Ralf Goeke. A good example is the production of stub axles in commercial vehicle building. The component is exposed to high loads and at the same time serves as a mounting for wheel bearings and brakes. In other words: each and every part delivered must be perfect. “We have been producing stub axles continuously for 15 years – most recently using a total of eight CTX 420s.” Satisfied with the reliable turning centers, AMG Goeke has remained loyal to DMG MORI to this day.
