External broaching machines are equipped with fixed or movable tables to hold clamping and component locating fixtures, and are principally provided with loading/unloading devices up to complete linking with machines before and after broaching. Automatic tool change systems are also state of the art. Moreover, other cutting processes like drilling and milling can be integrated.

As competence centre for the broaching of brake components in the automotive industry we are particularly using vertical external broaching machines in various design.
