Equipment

Powder painting line

The powder paint line was installed in 2016 featuring components from world leading companies such as Kewesta (conveyor) and Gema (spray gun and booths). The size and insulation of the furnace is optimised for our motors so electricity consumption is reduced three fold compared to the previous line while productivity is increased.

Fanuc Robodrill Alpha D21LiA5

Featuring the top of the line 31iB5 Fanuc control unit, the Robodrill is an extremely fast and versatile machine with up to 5 simultaneously controlled axes. Rapid traverse rate of 54m/min with 1.6sec tool change time and 1.5G acceleration combined with the 10 000rpm/78Nm spindle, makes the machine ideal for light milling, drilling and tapping of the aluminum motor flanges.
