The year 2023 marked a significant turning point for LOMEC, with the introduction of advanced 4.0 machines in their production department.

A considerable investment was made to enrich production capabilities, leading to the installation of a DOOSAN Vertical Lathe and an OKUMA multi-pallet CNC Milling Center. These new additions promise to further raise the standards of precision, versatility and efficiency in production.

OKUMA Multi Pallet CNC Milling Center: Cutting-Edge Japanese Technology

At the heart of the milling area upgrade is the OKUMA MA-600HIII Multipallet CNC. Designed and built by the renowned Japanese brand OKUMA, this milling center combines high-speed precision with a wide working range.

The machine is equipped with advanced vibration control systems, ensuring the quality of machined surfaces and extending tool life.

The multi-pallet (10-pallet) loading system makes this machine particularly suitable for high variety and low quantity productions, emphasizing flexibility and operational efficiency. Interconnection with factory M.E.S. software enables continuous monitoring of production performance and quality, bringing traceability and data management to the highest level.

DOOSAN VT1100 Vertical Lathe: Expanding Machining Possibilities

In the turning department, the new DOOSAN VT1100 Vertical Lathe has revolutionized operations. This powerful tool enables machining of blanks with dimensions up to 1100mm diameter and heights up to 700mm, opening up new opportunities for previously unexplored dimensions and types of machining.

The comparison between the horizontal lathes, already present in the company, and the new vertical one highlights the different performances in terms of orientation of the rotation axis, types of machining, stability and dimensions. The presence of both types of lathe reflects LOMEC’s commitment to providing a complete solution in meeting different customer needs.

Diversity and Specialization: Vertical vs. Horizontal Lathe

Both types of lathe, vertical and horizontal, offer unique features and distinct advantages. The choice between the two will depend on the user’s specific needs and priorities, which may vary in terms of accuracy, capacity, and versatility.

The stability and accessibility of the vertical lathe goes well with large workpieces or complex shapes, while the horizontal lathe stands out for its precision when machining smaller workpieces.

LOMEC, with its wide range of turning CNCs, positions itself as a leader in offering customized solutions for every customer.

The Future of Manufacturing: LOMEC Embraces Innovation

With the introduction of these new 4.0 machines, LOMEC is at the forefront of the industry, ensuring efficiency, precision and versatility in production. The 2023 investment underscores the company’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions for its customers, positioning it as a benchmark in the precision machining industry.
