FERRARI HONOURS ELIGIO RE FRASCHINI WITH THE “BEST GES SUPPLIER 2012”

In the course of its consolidated and exclusive carbon-fibre component partnership with the Scuderia Ferrari, Eligio Re Fraschini has continually improved response times, flexibility and time-to-market performance. This contributed significantly to bringing to the track solutions that guaranteed the competitiveness of our single-seaters in the 2012 Formula 1 World Championship.

The workshop of Eligio Re Fraschini is equipped with 3 Matrix 800 - 5 axis N.C. milling machines.

Our congratulations to Eligio Re Fraschini!

Champions choose Breton

Red Bull racing cars won the Formula 1 Drivers’ and Constructors’ World Championship for the third consecutive year.

The racing cars of the Austrian team use components produced also by Breton MATRIX 5-axes vertical machining centres,  

and OZ wheel rims produced by Breton XCEEDER vertical machining centre.

Red Bull purchased a new Breton MATRIX 1300 machining centre that will be delivered by spring 2013 and installed beside the three existing MATRIX:

- 2 MATRIX 1300

- 1 MATRIX 800

Breton Maxima 2000 installed in Belgium

Hello,
I’d like to share with you the first photos I received of the Breton MAXIMA 2000 vertical machining centre we installed in Belgium.

I will put other photos online as soon as I receive them.
Have a nice weekend

As of today, gears are produced in a short while

Hello,
Sorry to insist on speaking about gears, but I’m sure that Breton system for the design, programming and production of gears is a real R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N. 

To this end, enjoy this short introductory video.


Have a nice day

First impressions on BIMU 2012 fair

Good morning
Yesterday I visited BIMU in Milan and I must admit there was a breath of fresh air since I noticed more visitors and a greater interest with respect to the 2010 edition.
A lot of people visited Breton stand (Pavilion 9, stand D15) and were very interested in: 
the NEW Matrix 1000 DYNAMIC, 
NEW gear machining system, 
and in all the different workpieces manufactured by our machining centres we exhibited.
Here you can see some pictures I’ve just downloaded from my camera. 

 Matrix 1000 DYNAMIC

NEW gear machining system

Workpieces manufactured

Next week we will go more deeply into these issues.
Have a nice weekend

NEW high-speed vertical machining centre Breton Matrix DYNAMIC

Matrix DYNAMIC is the ideal solution for applications in the aeronautical and automotive sectors, for molding and design.

The unique rigidity and dynamic positioning mean the machine can be used with a variety of components at the highest operating speeds and maximum machining capacity.

The Matrix DYNAMIC in fact, thanks to the high speed of the linear axes up to 60 m/min and Direct Drive head, with a max. rotation speed of 100 rpm and continuous C-axis rotation, offers truly unique machining qualities on complex sections thanks to the 5 continuous axes providing the highest dynamic precision.

The continuous direct drive bi-rotary head, which can be positioned at any angle in its operating field thanks to the powerful hydraulic brakes, lets you use continuous spindle outputs up to 40 kW (51 Nm or 100 Nm) at speeds of up to 28,000 rpm, giving the machine a notablemilling capacity.

The different configurations of the Matrix Dynamix (Z=1000, X = 2,200, Y from 2,500 mm to 4,000 mm,) make the machine perfect for machining medium and large workpieces made of steel, aluminium, resin and composite materials.

The full casing and kinematic mechanisms located at the top of the machine make it extremely safe for the operator to use with the greatest reliability and accuracy during machining.

The high quality and accuracy of the machining are also a result of the thermo-symmetry of the structure with a thermal stabilization system for the ball nuts, Z-axis bearings and axis drives, to keep the temperature of these components in line with that of the rest of the machine.

Future is unpredictable, that’s why we go Multitasking

We interviewed Ludwig Henkes, Managing Director of Capaul.

Which are the main reasons why you chose Breton? 

Breton gave us support right from the beginning helping to identify the most proper technical solution, customizing a proven product according to our needs.
The availability of a local support by Breton (Tecmo) eased this definition process and gave us the confidence that in any moment we will be able to trust on a competent and quick partner.

Which criteria were the key ones to drive your choice on MAXIMA 2000? 
Our company believes in the future and invests continuously on the development of its business, setting no limits to its applications.
For this reason we were looking for a solution granting high versatility, productivity, responding not only to today’s demands but also capable to give us the flexibility to adapt to a rapidly evolving market.
We focused since the beginning on mill turn machines, as they clearly better accomplished to the above requisites.

We wanted a very rigid and precise machine with wide working areas that could also reduce setup times.

With the help of FRAUNHOFER Institute and RWTH Aachen we submitted the shortlisted machines to severe tests of rigidity, precision and frequency response.
At the end of these analyses it was fairly easy for us to confirm MAXIMA as the best choice.

What are you expecting from the partnership with Breton? 
We look forward to seeing the same professionalism and expertise demonstrated in the first phase to be confirmed in the years ahead.
Breton represents for us not only a quality supplier but may act also as a commercial partner through which we are already increasing the visibility of our brand on the market and we expect to further develop our sales.
