Gent Machine purchases Escomatic NM6 Flexi CNC machine

In the ever-evolving landscape of precision machining, investing in cutting-edge technology is paramount for staying competitive. That is why Gent Machine recently purchased an Escomatic NM6 Flexi CNC machine. This state-of-the-art Swiss-style turning center will introduce a new style of coil fed machining that is a new concept for us.

The decision to purchase the Escomatic NM6 Flexi CNC machine stems from a large order from a new customer. The customer requires over a million terminals per year and our current equipment could not keep up. In addition, our bar machines were producing a 10" remnant from each bar. The Escomatic uses a coil instead of bars so we will eliminate 10" remnant loss and gain uptime from not having to load a bar. 

Key Features of the Escomatic NM6 Flexi CNC Machine:

  1. Swiss-Style Turning Excellence: The NM6 Flexi is renowned for its Swiss-style turning capabilities. It allows for the production of complex, small-diameter components with unparalleled precision. Its ability to handle a variety of materials, including alloys like Nitronic 50, aligns perfectly with our diverse machining requirements.

  2. CNC Precision Control: The integration of CNC technology provides a level of precision and repeatability that is indispensable in today's competitive market. The CNC controls of the NM6 Flexi empower our operators to achieve intricate geometries and tight tolerances consistently.

  3. Versatility and Flexibility: The term "Flexi" in the machine's name isn't arbitrary. The NM6 Flexi offers a high degree of flexibility, accommodating a wide range of part sizes and complexities. This versatility is a key asset in adapting to the dynamic needs of our clients and expanding our service offerings.

  4. High-Speed Machining: The NM6 Flexi enables us to enhance productivity without compromising on precision. The higher speed turning and loading will assist in meeting deadlines and optimizing overall operational efficiency.

  5. Efficient Material Handling: The machine's design incorporates an efficient material handling system by using a coil. This will contribute to reduced setup times and increased throughput. This efficiency aligns with our commitment to delivering quality products in a timely manner.

The acquisition of the Escomatic NM6 Flexi CNC machine will be a great compliment to our Citizen bar machines. As with all of our machines, we anticipate growing with Escomatic as it opens new doors. It will make us more competitive on high volume, small parts with the reduction of raw material costs. We are confident the NM6 Flexi will play role in our future success and excellence in the dynamic world of precision manufacturing.
