Precision in movement

Since its early history, the University of Sheffield in the UK has been a world leader in metalworking and engineering research. At the heart of this research is the AMRC (Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre), which combines industry expertise with practical solutions and university innovations in close collaboration with industrial companies.

+ 30% faster cycle times due to an innovative machine concept


Bumotec sent out invitations to a customer day at the associated NAMRC (Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Center).The aim of the day was to demonstrate to customers on the S-191 how it is possible to significantly increase productivity and efficiency using a Bumotec machine. Some 80 participants accepted the invitation and took the opportunity to see the innovative Bumotec machine in use and become familiar with the highly effective technology.

The S-191 Linear series represents the highest levels of precision and offers reliable repeating accuracy when machining parts such as watch components made of gold, platinum or silver, or medical implants and instruments. Linear technology, which ensures backlash-free, repeatable precision in the μm range in the S-191 CNC turn mill centre, plays an important role in this.Thanks to the combination of the rapid linear drive with a high-resolution Renishaw measuring system and the stabilised cooling circuit for all heat-generating elements, the S-191 Linear achieves excellent values – and it is not only regular customers from the watch industry who find them impressive.The machines in the S-191 series are suitable for turning, cutting and other machining operations (such as grinding) for individual parts or from a bar in a clamping process. The series is set apart by a highly versatile modular design, which enables all kinds of machines to be assembled from the standardised kit – including a centre with seven axes and three spindles.
