Microbore ECO11
The microset tool pre-setting unit serves as a measuring unit for the operation of drilling, milling & turning with their functional dimensions. The machine gives a read out with linear and rotary encoders. It can also send the data recorded through a post processor function to many of our machine tools.
CEMB Balancing Machine
This balancing machine is a hard bearing type machine. This allows us to calibrate the machine easily and to obtain the best measuring accuracy possible. This is achieved by inputting the geometrical dimensions. After one spin only and independently of the rotation speed, the machine automatically displays the value in grams or ounces and the angular position of the in balance for both planes.
