Extending further its levels of support for European customers, cutting tool specialist
Located in Orléans, France, the new Application Centre supports European markets and serves as a specially-manned competence facility for customer projects that delivers complete processing, programming, testing and machining solutions for new or existing components – often with a business proposal for guaranteed output increase or cycle time reduction. Part of the company’s global network of Application Centres, the Orléans facility serves customers faced with drilling and/or milling applications in glass, carbon fibre and stacked composite/metallic workpieces. Solutions can also be tailored to different machine types. The facility houses many hand-held, power feed and fixed bed machining centres. The latter offers customers the benefits of CNC control, machining in up to five axes, vacuum workholding, an MQL application device and in-process measurement. www.sandvik.coromant.com
