The new generation of 5-axis micromachines
After the takeover of Kummer Frères by Precitrame Machines, an analysis of the K5 product showed that it still had too many teething problems to be marketed in volume. This triggered the immediate development of a new generation of micromachine, which was eagerly awaited by the microtechnology industry. This modernisation also makes it possible to integrate new functions and options requested by the markets. Standalone machines In its simplest form, the K5 range is a single machine that (…)
