"We are proud and excited to have been selected as a differential supplier to
BMW," said Bill Carroll, Dana's acting president and chief operating officer.
"Dana is committed to continuous improvement and process advancements that
enable us to meet BMW's stringent requirements for this performance vehicle."
Dana utilized a high-speed, environmentally-friendly machining process to cut
the gears to the precise dimensions required to meet the final system
specifications.
The front differential components are assembled at Dana's new manufacturing
facility in Orangeburg, S.C., using leading-edge manufacturing systems to ensure
the finished differential meets BMW expectations for fit and performance.
Dana's quality assurance technology in Orangeburg employs 100-percent on- line
coordinate measuring devices, which, in real-time, integrate the final machined
dimensions of the gears and housing, calculating their optimum relative
positions for final assembly. The process verifies that the incoming
components are within specification, and then determines the best final assembly
positions from the actual dimensions of these incoming components.
