The framing stage of car body manufacture is at the core of the manufacturing process where the geometry of the cars structure is determined and as such the repeatability of the system is intrinsic to the quality of the end product.
From low volume manually operated framing arrangements through to high volume fully automated systems, ETG can design, manufacture and install ‘Body-in-Black’ framing systems to suit specific client requirements and have previously done so for some of the worlds leading automotive manufacturers.
