Machining technologies
Turning
Our turning shop comprises the heart and soul of our production facility, currently occupying three buildings. Over 60 multi-spindle CNC lathes from Index provide capacity for large volumes and give us great flexibility.
We supplement our machine park with currently more than ten sliding headstock CNC lathes from Citizen, Gildemeister, Index, Star and Traub as well as five ultraprecision CNC lathes from Spinner.
In our turning shop we manufacture complex turned & milled parts for individual assemblies with the highest precision in large series.
For the acquisition of our Studer S122, we were able to take advantage of the BWK's investment programme for the modernisation of production in the supply industry
Cylindrical grinding
We achieve even higher precision by expanding our high-performance turning shop with a state-of-the-art grinding shop for large series.
On four cylindrical grinding machines by Herminghausen, we can perform plunge-cut grinding as well as fully automated through-feed grinding, while complex workpieces are ground between centres in just one clamping on a Studer S33. In addition, we have a Cube 350 from Tschudin, which allows us to grind centreless.
Recently, another model from Studer has completed our competence in the field of grinding. With our new S122, we can now offer our customers not only external cylindrical grinding for the production of cylindrical and conical workpieces, but also internal cylindrical grinding for the machining of bores.
Since it is possible to install an external grinding wheel in addition to two parallel grinding spindles, parts can be machined both internally and externally in just one clamping. Like the S33, the S122 is also ideally suited for the production of large series.
Milling
In addition, six machining centers from Chiron, and four 5-axis and three vertical machining centers add additional capability. We machine steel, stainless steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals.
