CNC Turning.
Traub and Tornos CNC lathes for complex geometries, tighter tolerances and lower volumes: the complete offer for customers who want their full range of precision turned components from one supplier.
Gebrema's CNC capability exists for one reason: to ensure existing customers never need to go elsewhere for the exceptions. Every high-volume customer has a handful of part numbers that fall outside the diameter range or geometric complexity of rotary transfer. Without CNC, that customer must split their supply base, managing a second supplier relationship, a second quality approval, a second logistics stream.
With CNC, they source their entire turned component range from Gebrema. One supplier. One quality system. One relationship. This is a service extension, not a standalone proposition, and it is how a customer's full production dependency lands on one reliable European partner.
The right process for the right part
The decision between CNC turning and rotary transfer is not a quality question: both processes produce parts to the same Gebrema quality standard. It is a volume and geometry question. Rotary transfer delivers lower cost per piece at very high volumes on parts that fit its operational parameters. CNC delivers precision on parts that do not.
Where CNC is the route
- Machine fleet: Traub and Tornos multi-axis lathes, proven Swiss and German precision platforms, operated and maintained by Gebrema's own technicians.
- Volume from 10,000 pieces, suited to lower-volume part numbers, new product introductions, ramp-up phases and prototype quantities.
- Geometric complexity: profiles, undercuts and internal features that multi-station rotary transfer cannot produce in a single pass.
- A clear ramp-up path: parts can transition from CNC to rotary transfer once volume justifies it, with the same quality standard, higher throughput and lower cost per piece.
