Ferrotall commits to specialising in GROB machining centres

The key to providing good service is knowing the product inside out.

With this principle in mind, the Ferrotall group has drawn up a specialisation plan focused on 5-axis machining centres. Since 2020, when Ferrotall became GROB's official service partner for the whole of Spain, a number of our technicians have been trained and have learned the working methods of the German manufacturer.

This year Ferrotall is continuing with its specialisation plan, and a few weeks ago two of our technicians from Ferromaster (the Ferrotall group's in-house service department) completed an intensive training programme in Mindelheim, headquarters of the German machining centre manufacturer GROB.

The intensive training lasted two months, during which our technicians covered every aspect of GROB machining centres (both 4-axis and 5-axis) in order to offer a complete service: from assembling and dismantling structural parts, geometry adjustment, repairs and component replacement, to electronics and programming.

The technicians who completed the training tell us how it went:

• What was the training at GROB like?

• The training was extremely intensive in every respect. We were qualified for head replacement and geometry adjustment, adjustment of the different tool changers found across the various machine generations, analysing machine condition with the ballbar, and replacing the various electronic units according to their procedures. We also received electrical training to analyse and diagnose alarms and faults on the machine, etc.

• What would you highlight, or what impressed you most?

• The high level of technological development of the machines and of all the technical support behind them, the facilities and the quality of the product.

Previous Next Throughout 2022 the rest of our Ferromaster technicians will continue this training, with the aim of providing a comprehensive service to the same quality standards as the Mindelheim-based manufacturer.
