Total casting capacity of this plant is up to workpieces of 90 ton of propeller.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently, they have retrofitted a large vertical lathe capable of turning workpieces of up to 10 meter diameter, 5 meter height and maximum load as heavy as 200 tons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This vertical lathe is <b>equipped with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fagorautomation.com\/en\/product\/cnc-systems\/applications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FAGOR CNC<\/a> and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fagorautomation.com\/en\/information\/servo-drive-system\/?ref_id=5299\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FAGOR digital servo system<\/a><\/b>.

Choosing the FAGOR CNC&#8217;s for their vertical lathes was the right decision. According to TEVO&#8217;s senior technician, Mr. Tero Salminen \u201cThe FAGOR CNC is easy to operate and its <b>man-machine interface is very intuitive<\/b>. Plus, retrofitting old machines has been pretty easy for us\u201d. Mr. Salminen has done it all by himself, from Electrical Drawings to FAGOR PLC \u2013programming. <b>\u201cFAGOR, besides offering a global product solution, offers excellent Technical Support and full documentation for machine setup\u201d<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fagorautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tevo_propeller_machining.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31039 aligncenter\" title=\"Top view of 4 meter propeller machining\" alt=\"TEVO: propeller machining\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fagorautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tevo_propeller_machining-1024x768.jpeg\" width=\"368\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a>Mr. Salminen adds  \u201cto all this, we must add the advantage of having all the machines with the same CNC which makes it a lot easier to properly service and maintain the machines: setting the machine parameters, mechanical backlash compensations for accurate machining, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">TEVO is <b>committed to the permanent development of their production machines to offer a high-quality product<\/b>.
