CNC Machining Center

CNC Machining Center is a computer numerical control machine tool for metal processing. Milling, boring, drilling, tapping and thread cutting are combined in one device, so a single machine covers many production needs. A tool magazine holds various cutting and inspection tools, which are selected and changed automatically by the program during machining. The body measures 2090 by 3435 by 2678 millimeters and is made of metal. The form is intended to express precision and technology while meeting ergonomic requirements.

Waste Concrete Reprocessing
Sunday, 11 October 2026

TNK-50N

TNK-50N is a large engineering vehicle designed to reprocess waste concrete into permeable bricks. The vehicle is built from separate modules for crushing, collection and reprocessing. Waste concrete is collected, crushed, screened and cleared of impurities in the front unit, then moved to the rear unit, where additives are mixed in and the material is pressed and cured in a permeable brick mold. Carbon fiber and recycled plastics keep the weight low while adding strength. Driverless technology guides the working process, and additives can be refilled by hand through a side interface.

Ultra High Vacuum Sputtering System

High Vacuum Sputtering System is a machine that deposits metal and dielectric thin films on substrates up to 300 millimetres. The system uses magnetron sputtering sources powered by radio frequency, direct current or pulsed direct current, working in single mode or in co-deposition mode. A modular structure allows simple installation, transport and maintenance. The housing is made of cold rolled steel with sheet metal forming and spray finishing, an aluminium inner frame and a translucent grey acrylic cover. The control screen follows ergonomic principles.

Thermacut

Thermacut is a plasma torch designed for cutting metal. The torch is part of a plasma cutting system that uses gas and electricity to create a flame of 20000 degrees Celsius, cutting steel up to 40 millimetres thick. The ergonomic handle allows several holding positions. The torch can be held with a closed palm around the handle or with the thumb resting on the top of the handle. A safety trigger prevents unintended operation. The main case is made of plastic by injection moulding, and further parts are made of copper, brass, steel, ceramic and rubber.

K29

Steel is combined with wood in this pocket knife design. In addition to a blade that can be folded out, it features a glass breaker, belt cutter, lanyard hole, and belt clip. The design comes in two editions: ‘Titanium’ in grey with olive wood and ‘Tiger’ in black with bocote. In order to display the natural qualities of the wood, its original appearance is preserved and no additional color is used on the material. Hex screws hold everything together securely and make it possible to replace parts.

Laser Welding System

Laser Welding System is a machine for welding individual lithium batteries into power battery packs. The system uses a laser beam with high directivity and high power density as its heat source. An optical system focuses the beam on a small area to melt the joint in a very short time. A manipulator moves the parts, so welding is completed without manual work. The width, energy, peak power and repetition frequency of the laser pulse are controlled. The system measures 8075 by 1920 by 2110 millimetres and improves consistency and productivity.
