More efficient for its customers

March 2014

Despite an uncertain global economic situation, Ventura Mecanics SA, the specialist for overhaul and retrofit of Escomatic machines, decided to bet on the future by opting for the construction of new premises.

In summer 2014 the company will reach a new level with its new premises.

The new building has been designed rationally and to better serves the company’s customers. Luca and Fabio Ventura, the young and dynamic Directors state: "The global demand for our very specific activity shows a strong potential and our current workshop does not allow us to answer with sufficient effectiveness”. To increase this capacity, a new building of 1200 m2 on an area of 3200 m2 will be operational from July 2014.

To go further The range of machine tools proposed by Ventura Mecanics relies on Escomatic lathes boosted by specialists with, for instance, their Ventura patented spindle (12,000 rpm). Mr. Ventura says: "These new spindles are the result of dialogues with customers who are very demanding in terms of productivity and accuracy". The aim is to meet everyone’s needs and propose innovative solutions.

New perspectives for the future Ventura Mecanics has just developed two new machines that were remarked at the recent Simodec: first, the V6 Flexcam (an evolution of the Escomatic D6 machine) equipped with a servomotor, allowing to vary the speed of the camshaft by segments. Second, the V2 FlexFeed (based on Escomatic D2), equipped with the 12’000 rpm spindle and a numerical axis for material feed instead of hydraulic; which allows machining long workpieces in several straightening.

"baseline" – a new product line for new Chiron customers

August 2013

Chiron will show a world première and further pioneering innovations at the EMO from September 16 to 20 in Hanover. Chiron’s exhibition area will be in hall 12, stand B 84. News at EMO: The new 26 series stands for horizontal machining, productivity and high-performance cutting. Series 24, which is also new, features vertical machining with a spindle clearance of up to 600 mm and a drum workpiece changing system. This means highly productive machining in series production for larger (…)

Technological leap in the service of microtechnology

August 2013

In machining by chip removal it is very rare that new machines questions well-established technologies, usually novelties are more or less important developments of known elements. With the 701S machine presented as World Premiere at EMO, Willemin-Macodel is about to change the way we will see machining. The machine is designed around a parallel architecture as opposed to a classic (serial) one and I haven’t a lot more information for now. What we know for sure: It is a small machine (…)

EvoDeco for large diameters to be launched at EMO

July 2013

At this year’s EMO, Tornos is presenting the replacement for the last two Deco machines on the market, the Deco 20 and Deco 26. Logically enough, these machines have been named EvoDeco 20 and EvoDeco 32. Until now the upper limit of the EvoDeco line was 16 mm. Thanks to the launch of EvoDeco 20 and EvoDeco 32, Tornos can now offer a complete EvoDeco version line from 2 to 32 mm. The concept behind the EvoDeco line remains unchanged, which is to uphold the overall philosophy that has (…)

The solution for machining CVD and PCD tools

July 2013

The materials used to manufacture cutting tools are increasingly hard and require innovative machining solutions. For example, the production of CVD (Chemical Vapor-deposited Diamond) has been mastered for some time, but until now there was no effective means of machining such material. To provide an answer to this problem, Rollomatic, specialists in providing grinding machines for the production of ’high tech’ cutting tools, will unveil the LaserSmart 500 at EMO (Hall 6, Stand E16).

Hard materials high speed machining: a wish comes true

June 2013

What had long been regarded as impossible has become reality: ultra-hard materials can be machined by high speed milling. It is a kind of mini-revolution that begins in the construction of moulds, tools and components for advanced applications. To be profitable, this process should however be reserved for very specific fabrications. By "ultra-hard materials" we mean sintered carbide based metals (hard metals) and ceramics. These two types of materials are composites, which are (…)
