Scania and Photon make truckers’ dreams come true - Photon

For the prototypes of the new truck series, Photon produced several demanding assemblies such as front centre panels, cabin corners and cladding-frame parts in four different sizes. For this purpose, 28 tool sets had to be designed and manufactured in a short space of time, some of them weighing up to 15 tons.

Not only the production of the outer skin parts proved to be a challenge; bonding them with the inner structural parts by gluing and seaming proved to be difficult, too. To do so, Photon designed and manufactured eight seaming tools and other equipment for laser cutting and constructing assemblies.

Once again, the result spoke for itself: it is not for nothing that Photon continues to be a reliable partner for the automotive and commercial-vehicle industry when it comes to the fast, flexible and accurate production of components and assemblies for prototypes and small series.
