| 40-ton hydraulic forging press |
SAIMP FU-1 3-axis milling machine |
Fronius Vario-Star 404-2 MIG/MAG |
Our Shop roughly fits into an area of 110m2 - it's not huge, but not small either. For what we can offer it has just about the right size.
The last major updates have been made in late 2007, when a 40-ton hydraulic forging press and a bigger mig/mag welder have been added.
The shop is both, a fully equipped machine shop offering milling, turning, welding & quite some more and a real smithy with a fire, large 207kg anvil, forging press and a full heat treatment setup.
Especially in Zurich, Switzerland (after all one of Switzerlands most famous cities) you will most likely not find a shop with a similliar range of capabilities without going fullscale industrial including the costs involved.
