A complete range for milling

May 2010

The main activity of Meyrat SA is in the field of spindles for machine tools. The company offers a complete range of motorised milling spindles with a flanging diameter of 50mm (MMO-50). These spindles use the HSK cutting-tool clamping system and can reach very high levels of precision in terms of radial deviation measured on the tool tip. This technology also means the tool length can be measured outside the machine, thus providing gains in productivity as machine idle time is greatly (…)

Keeping the bar where it is…

May 2010

The automotive industry is constantly raising the bar, creating a high workload for subcontractors in this field which means they really need to attack the material at speed. In some cases, this speed means the bar tends to actually move back, which obviously has a detrimental effect on machining. To solve this problem, there are numerous grooved or hatched grippers, however these can damage the material. So... Is there no solution? We met Alain Marchand, director of Swisscollet SA, who (…)
