Productivity and cost pressure forces market actors to refine their machining processes towards quality and efficiency. To achieve that goals, parts should be finished with at least steps as possible. Even with a lot of material removal the parts should feature the required quality without additional handling.
Material challenges
The materials within the Machinery and General Mechanics industry vary from steel, over cast iron, inox to aluminum parts. Cost efficient single touch machining and stable precision in spite of dynamic machining are some of the major challenges. To overcome these we provide platform solutions to take opportunities for business development thanks to reduced cost of integration. Furthermore we offer monitoring solutions to maintain compliance and improve process quality.
Our market-oriented solutions
Step-Tec HPC 150 platform
The HVC/HPC 150 Spindle platform offers a minimal diameter of 150mm and can accomodate higher diameters. This platform combines the advantages of a HVC platform, first of all the high speed and the advantages of the HPC platform, the power and torque for extended roughing. This platform solution is perfectly suited when it comes to high material removal combined with high surface quality. Therefore it offers many advantages: In-house manufactured extrem round shafts for surface quality, Cool-Core technology and Opticool-System for polar temperature stability and thus enabling reliability and optional an AE-sensor for advanced grinding.
