Another one? Why?

ZABER 50 years at the forefront, … and unconventional choices !
( click here to see the ZABER website )

Yes, because when Mr. Zaro and Mr. Bertolli, the two partners, more than two years ago took the decision, among the first in Italy to buy an E.cut, and one of the biggest, the skepticism shone through among the collaborators.

But 50 years of iron do not flow at all in the veins, and lead to a capacity ‘of analysis free from conditioning and clichés.

In the face of processes that had always been carried out in a certain way, Ecut represented something completely new on paper.
Keys on large pieces, high and narrow square holes, internal teeth on large bushings, were pieces already ‘previously performed, and of which we knew times and difficulties’. Ecut’s decidedly limited cost also made the decision less “heroic”.

Confirmations arrived in a few months, and as soon as the machine started to be “full”. a decision has been made to buy another one!
The biggest one in production!
An Ecut 120 with working strokes of 1600×1200 mm, a cutting height of up to 800 mm, and a load capacity of pieces up to 3000 kg.

The economic commitment is a bit greater, but after two years of experience, after comparisons with “as before”, the choice was much less painful.
The possibility of carrying out even small operations, despite the size of the machine, favoured the decision to take the largest one.
Not needing the operator, with a single placement, from a large plate more ‘pieces can be cut, taking advantage of nights, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Few, complicated… and now.

These two toothed crowns were becoming a problem! The module is not standard, and there’s no creator ready. As usual the customer needs it right away.
Of course, a CNC milling machine, and so on. But the thickness, and the particularly difficult material make the cost rise, to the point of making it almost prohibitive.
Wire EDM, therefore. But that who owns it is not there waiting for you,… and then a wire erosion has its price!

In many sectors there are not large numbers, and Ecut that between operating cost and depreciation cost does not exceed 3 € / hour is an unsurpassed solution.
If you are in competition with those who own an Ecut, you have no choice in such situations. He takes the order.

Forget the sterile clichés about Chinese living with a handful of rice. Look at the pictures next door. You’ll notice the dirt, which is what’s immediately obvious!
But there are only two people (two!!) who make 19 cars go, who work day and night. The cars, not the people. They do their 8 hours, like everywhere. Just think how much people here in Italy cost you!

Returning to the two crowns from which we started, the client arrived in the afternoon at 4 p.m., and at 9 p.m. his crowns were finished! The next morning he took them away!
Two hours and thirty minutes for the sixteen teeth with a diameter of 200 mm, with perfect geometry, cut without any burrs, and without superficial hardening!
If they had been ten pieces, even better! The smallest Ecut cuts up to a thickness of 300 mm. Then put one on top of the other, just one placement and for 30 hours the machine would have worked… alone.
The total cost is about 7,5 euro… but the customer was very happy to pay 50!
