Willemin-Macodel produces advanced, customized machining solutions for complex, high-precision workpieces and offers extremely high added value. The company supplies turn-key solutions according to its customers’ strictest requirements, conducting a personal usability study and appointing support personnel for the entire machining center lifespan.

Innovation: The Core of Business

For the past 40 years, the company has developed innovative machines based on customer and partner needs, always striving for the most flexible, dynamic, stable, and productive solution. Willemin-Macodel has introduced several products to the world first, which has strengthened the manufacturer’s status as a technology leader. Among the most well-known products are tank feed equipped 5-axis machining centers which, in addition to extreme precision, can mill parts, perform back machining, and palletize finished parts. Part inspection is, of course, part of the manufacturing process.

Milling/Turning Applications Pioneer, High Flexibility in Production

Willemin-Macodel’s multi-process milling/turning machines allow for the creation of complex parts in a single cycle, with super-accuracy and unparalleled flexibility.

Highly Performance Motor Spindle

The highly performance motor spindle is suitable for demanding machining applications. The large-precision vertical/dividing spindle works like a dividing head at low speeds and like a milling head at high speeds.

Tooling Flexibility

Milling/turning machines can be equipped with a three-position back machining revolver device, giving various possibilities, e.g. for a fixture, a tool post or a counterforce. Milling/turning machines can also be equipped with a bar pusher or tank feeders, handling systems and automation according to what the customer’s parts need. Various tool magazines and auxiliary devices, such as filter units, chip conveyors and measuring devices, combined with palletizing devices, increase the machining potential.

Most Popular Products in Finland

Tank feed equipped 408MT, 508MT and 518 MT have been very popular in the Swedish market and are suitable for Finnish production, where batch sizes are small and setting times must be fast.

701S: The Revolution in Machining Centers

The 701s, a 3-axis parallel kinematics machining center with micron machining accuracies, presented at EMO Hanover in September 2013, is itself a revolution. High speed, efficiency, micron accuracy and extreme quality. Thanks to the strategy of machining by interpolation and with light moving masses, measured cycle times for customer parts have shown 3–5-fold improvements. The machining center requires only a small floor area (1 m2) and its energy consumption is low – the machine consumes less than a hairdryer. Technically, the machining center receives praise for its speed, accuracy and surface quality.

No More Tool Holders, New Tools

In the new machining strategy, the values defined by the manufacturers are mandatory. On the spindle, a typical mechanical component, machining from different sides and a little turning is performed. Tool clamping by restricting air without any holders greatly helps in accuracy together with these tools developed for this machine. The 701s also includes a vision system to check the tool position and a measuring sensor system to ensure the correct placement of the part.
