The Madrid-based company Sistemas de Automatización Industrial, S.L. (SAINDU)) has a long track record in the manufacture (machining) and assembly of parts and components for sectors such as aeronautics, aerospace and automotive.
SAINDU works mainly for aeronautical manufacturers and engineering firms, carrying out precision machining of flight parts and aerostructures for the major international companies in the sector. It also carries out machining for the automotive sector.
To handle the most demanding jobs, SAINDU has facilities with a production and quality area of 1,000 m².
Starting point
SAINDU wanted to take a leap in quality in its machining fleet, which was dominated by 3-axis machining centres, and boost production performance with a horizontal 5-axis machining centre.
Solution
Thanks to the trust placed in Ferrotall's sales department and its technical advice, SAINDU acquired a GROB 350a 5-axis universal machining centre with HEIDENHAIN TNC 640 numerical control, which has become one of the jewels of a workshop with a long history and a well-established reputation in the region and in the aeronautical sector.
Commissioning and machine calibration were carried out by our service department (Ferromaster), the only one in Spain officially certified by the manufacturer GROB.
Conclusion
With the acquisition of the GROB G350a universal machining centre, SAINDU increases its production capacity and the accuracy with which its parts are machined, as the machine comes with GROB test equipment for kinematic measurements, which ensures complete accuracy at every point of the working area and higher machine performance.
The GROB G350a allows machining of suspended workpieces, long tool lengths and a 100% usable machining area, making it the perfect machine for the automotive and aeronautical industries.
Testimonial: Carlos Lobato Martínez, managing director of SAINDU
Why a GROB G350a?
We already knew what GROB 5-axis machining centres can do because we have a G550 and were aware of its capabilities. This time we chose the G350a because it was the model best suited to our needs.
Level of satisfaction with Ferrotall
Good, both in terms of technical advice and installation and commissioning.
What would you highlight about Ferrotall's advice and work?
Good service and good professionals with extensive experience.
