Euskron advocates the 4200 Mori Seiki NT to continue on the path of quality
November 15, 2008
In the standard or special thing, Euskron is one of these companies has been committed to quality as a means to survive. "We always work a steel of high quality." "We mechanized and then try, a type of work that we subcontract, although we have a temple for urgent cases oven."
The end result is a product, for many possible applications cutting tools: "After manufacture steel bodies, apply them the chips, which we previously bought to eventually commercialize all under our own name." We offer tools that can do things that others can't. Many are the 'Ferrari' tools, despite being a small and little-known company. "." Euskron also provides parts for white markings.
The type of steel is decisive in the final quality. "If the tool is cheap, spent much in supplies." "It is much less profitable, because having even less invested in the body just leaving more expensive" explains the Manager of the company.
Manufacture of tools is an area which requires to work very accurately. "It is a field in which we operate very well." "We give more accuracy than others in the product and it is here where we can compete with those working in large volumes of production".
It is, therefore, in particular, where Euskron has his competitive advantage, but is sufficiently equipped to enter other fields of battle: "Sometimes also went to compete with the large manufacturers of tool." "Let us not forget that, despite doing special things, we can also do the standard and it is logical that we also want to enter this market and take advantage of the ties of trust that customers will engage with us."
High technology for more accurate and less cost
In the position to continue betting by staying focused on quality tools or enter into other fields, the new Mori Seiki machine is a declaration of intentions. "It is an extremely precise machine, but not only that." We want to be a machine that works alone, day and night, even on weekends, for which we have also acquired a robot ABB for the loads. This manufacturing cell is part of a project of r & d, we have already presented to the Government of Navarra looking for their financial support, to get the maximum performance to our teams. "It's a development that will allow us to cut costs, among other things because the machine will be completely alone, without any operator attention."
Euskron began designing its tools in the early 1990s, with AutoCad. He then spent Solidwork and, subsequently, in order to control the 5 axes, opted for Unigraphics. "Hand in hand with an engineering - account Avelino García - just controlling the design program." At the moment, once we resolve everything about post-processor already we are ready for everything. We have four people in engineering. "All designs them we do and normally, with some exceptions, do not work of machining for third parties."
The Manager of this company has been already many years "between irons" and is a great connoisseur of the mechanics. Based on his experience opted for the 4200 Mori Seiki NT not without first having considered other possibilities. Well known: "It is a machine with two lathes, which make splitters at once." It is very accurate, with diezmilésima of degree (allows drilling on inclined). It has turret down, which is as if it were a normal lathe, with double row of tool to be able to work left and right, and turret of turning up, is in theory a head of milling, although with the lathe tool oriented can turning. Also has a tilt of ± 120 degrees, which allows tools in five axes. The threaded rigid is also another great offering. "The movement that makes is so accurate that you have the security that will not break the male and do not need any prevention mechanism to prevent this rupture."
But in the workshop of this manufacturer of tools not everything is there. It also has other national, Anayak, CMZ or Ger manufacturing machines. "We have grown with products here and Mori Seiki is the first foreign Add." I chose it because I think that the only one that gives me is what I want. The others are more lathe. This is lathe and milling machine and its ability to seem me incomparable. Before buying I looked at several machines and I did an exhaustive analysis. Of Mori Seiki gave me confidence and I think that its axes will be more durable and much higher capacity. "While it was a more expensive machine, end up deciding me for her".
The total weight, the weight of the casting that incorporates, the engines, the spindles, the kW power, the rigidity of the machine seeing her nude, speed... Avelino García analyzed everything. Also control, based on Fanuc, "control" he says. "I also reported and recabé information between users and came to the determination that Fanuc I was going to cause problems".
To their own conclusions the factor was added confidence in the decision to purchase. The Manager of Euskron knew LM Machinery for years "because I've long been watching companies and know how to work the machines". I.e., it opted for LM Machinery with knowledge, having seen mu-chas installed machines. In fact, if he dared to install the first machine in Spain of this model was by his confidence in the Japanese manufacturer and representative LM Machinery.
Complete the offer with other products
In addition to the tools of own manufacture, Euskron sells strawberries of hard metal plates, drill bits, jaws and other similar components that are commonly used in a workshop. You have been win the confidence of the client, often have solved their problems with their own tools, also facilitates the entry with the products it sells.
