The Art of Milling: weba Werkzeugbau Invests in Future Technology

Dietach, Steyr - In a world where technological advancements and efficiency determine the future of the automotive industry, weba Werkzeugbau has made a groundbreaking decision. By investing in a state-of-the-art 5-axis machining center, weba demonstrates its readiness to not only meet but exceed the challenges associated with advanced technology, cost reduction, and improved throughput times. This innovation marks a crucial step for weba in maintaining its position at the forefront of innovation and redefining the boundaries of milling.

In response to the growing demand for increasingly larger and more complex forming tools, weba Werkzeugbau recognized the need to expand its resources and capabilities in the area of milling. The decision to opt for the 5-axis machining center VM 6535 from TRIMILL, a renowned manufacturer, was the result of extensive analyses and evaluations of various machine concepts. This machine, specifically developed for tool and mold making, is characterized by its demand-oriented configuration, outstanding processing quality, and high precision. With a working space of 6,500 mm in the X-axis and 3,500 mm in the Y-axis, it enables efficient and precise machining of large workpieces.

Furthermore, the VM 6535 impresses with its thermodynamic design and the possibility of automatic milling head change, ensuring optimal results in processing. Its high travel speed and wide range of applications meet the demanding machining requirements in toolmaking in the best possible way.

To ensure the required precision for large working areas, a solid foundation of over 300 m³ of concrete and 17,000 kg of steel was constructed. This structure ensures maximum stability and minimizes vibrations, which are crucial for the quality of the milling process.

Daniel Pantelic, Head of Machining at weba, emphasized the significance of this investment: "The choice of the VM 6535 was determined by its technical and economic advantages. Its user-friendliness and unparalleled milling accuracy are particularly noteworthy."

With this strategic investment, weba has taken a significant step to meet the rising demands of the automotive industry. This measure not only enhances the company's flexibility and capacity but also ensures efficient and future-oriented production. Through this investment, weba demonstrates its relentless commitment to innovation and quality, solidifying its position as a leading player in the automotive supply industry.
