Machine Side Frame on Scharmann FB100 5-Axis CNC Horizontal Borer

Machining

Our Machine Shop specialises in horizontal boring of small and medium size components up to 20 tonnes single piece weight. Dependent on the quantity, size and complexity of the job, we offer horizontal boring on either our conventional manual borers, or on the latest 5-axis, fully contouring CNC control machines.

We are of course a "one-stop shop" for machined fabrications but we are also happy to provide machining services to your free issue materials whether they are fabrications, castings or forgings in single items or small batch quantities.
