Automotive Transmissions

Innovation, technology and manufacturing excellence have been the drivers of Oerlikon Graziano, allowing Oerlikon Group to reach the position of European market leader in high technology gearbox systems and to consolidate the role of preferred partner for the deve-lopment and supply of all wheel drive cars assemblies.

Market Area & Core Competencies

In the automotive market, the company is best known for its six speed transaxles, which are standard fitment in the ultimate high performance cars, and for the Four Wheel Drive/perfor-mance Rear Wheel Drive cars sub-assemblies such as Power Transfer Units and RearDifferential Modules.Only the absolute best in product design, development and manufacture is the requirement of our customers in this market segment. Oerlikon Graziano transaxles are standard fitment in the cars produced by Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Audi and the most recently announced new cars to feature our transmission systems are the Aston Martin One-77 and Vantage S, the McLaren MP4-12C and the Lamborghini Aventador.

In addition, in the last 20 years, Oerlikon Graziano has acquired an excellent experience in the Electric Drivelines Assemblies Product Line, ranging from the very first golf/utility transaxle to the latest transfer case developed for the light commercial electric vehicle, and including the latest applications of the ever more popular and fancy “full electric”, “zero emissions” city cars, the market of the future.

Research & Development

Oerlikon Graziano R&D department has the competence to develop a wide range of drivelines including:

• Gearboxes for sport vehicles• AWD assemblies• Transmission fro electric/hybrid vehicles• Construction Equipment & Agricultural Axles• City Bus Axles• Material Handling Transmissions & Axles• Agricultural Transmissions• Synchronizers assemblies• Power-shift clutches

Oerlikon Graziano has internal capabilities to fully develop complex system including the “base transmission”:

• Mechanical Design - FMEA - CAD - FEM - Dynamic modelling - Modal analysis• Prototype manufacturing with dedicated machines• Prototype assembly in controlled environment• Testing - Functional tests - Lubrication analysis on programmable tilting rig - Structural tests - Under load contact pattern - Synchronizer tests - NVH measurement - Climatic test with temperature profile from -40°C to 130°C

… but also (thanks to the partnership with VOCIS) hydraulic and controls/calibration competences:

• HAZOP/FMEA• System Modelling• Algorithm development• SIL / HIL development

• Low level software• Production quality code generation• Software V & V• System Integration• Calibration• OBD

Oerlikon Graziano has now the competence to be a Tier 1 full system supplier for complex driveline systems. As a result in 2010 two programs among others started the production: the drivelines for McLaren MP4-12C and Lamborghini Aventador drivelines.In the cases above Oerlikon Graziano acts as Tier 1 supplier, responsible for the entire driveline system.

The company is actively working on EC funded programs (e.g. Green Car Initiatives, with the AUTOSUPERCAP project) and prepared several papers presented in the most renowned congress and symposia (SAE, CTI, AVEC, IEEE).

Oerlikon Graziano is member of GearLab (Ohio University), hence it has access to the up to date SW for gear analysis as well as regular contacts with the community of gear manufacturers.

Active cooperation with Surrey University (UK) and University of Naples (Italy) are in place, and a sponsorship is granted to Uninauto Master, a post-degree master in vehicle engineering from University of Naples.

Products and Solutions

Transaxles – Oerlikon Graziano is the world’s leading designer and producer of manual/automated manual and dual clutch transmission systems for high performance cars. These are six and seven speeds units, designed for either front engine rear transaxle configurations, or mid-engine configurations, and are specifically tailored to the particular requirements of the individual car.

Sub-assemblies – these are PTUs (power transfer units), RDAs (rear drive axles), and RDMs (rear drive modules), for AWD (all wheel drive) and RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) performance applications. Customers include FIAT, VW and GM with PTU applications, Alfa Romeo with AWD applications, Aston Martin DB9 automatic with an RDM, and Maserati Quattroporte and the new GranTurismo automatic, with an RDA.A special angle drive application is the final drive unit for the Triumph Rocket III motor bike.

VOCIS

In the five years since it was formed, VOCIS, a company formed by a nucleus of highly experienced engineers has rapidly grown from 5 to 29 employees. The combination of Oerlikon Graziano’s expertise in the design and manufacturing of high performance transmissions, with Vocis’ unique talent in controls techniques - looked perfect. Both sides could see the advantages of a close connection, and shortly after forming, Oerlikon Graziano took a controlling interest in VOCIS.

VOCIS specialises in Control & Hydraulic System Engineering and Programme Management for the automotive industry. The founders together with the other Technical Specialist at Vocis are widely experienced in delivering challenging and high value automotive programmes for a variety of high profile OE customers, Tier One Suppliers and Design Consultancies. More than 150 man years’ experience is held in all aspects of mechanical and software control for DCT, AMT, CVT, AT transmissions, EV / Hybrid drive systems and active torque management systems.

VOCIS is forging ever closer links with Oerlikon Graziano and expanded its own range of capabilities. In addition to larger premises it now also possesses a large development facility at MIRA one of the UK’ & Europe’s premier test track and vehicle development centres. OEM project vehicles and a joint Oerlikon Graziano – VOCIS research project are currently based at MIRA. VOCIS is working both with Oerlikon Graziano and on its own with several major OEM and Tier 1 programmes and is making a significant contribution even to the most advanced development programmes.

The highly flexible and versatile VOCIS SIENA transmission s/w platform, entirely developed in-house, forms the basis for or a significant element of many customer transmission programmes. Along with the VOCIS TMS-20 transmission control unit SIENA has also proved to be an invaluable asset on many customer projects from first concept stage. Accelerated development progress has been achieved using this compact, cost effective and production representative control unit and robust and production validated SIENA s/w. The TMS-20 is now in it’s 4th hardware generation and along with SIENA s/w, both will continue to be under constant development to keep them at the cutting edge of transmission control technology.

The now well established Vocis and Oerlikon Graziano partnership has introduced a new player in to the Global Drive Systems Providers arena a fact validated in 2011 with the launch of it’s first two major OEM concept to production programmes.
