The technological center has acquired a Kronos 3000 to boost research in prototyping and optimization of machines and machining solutions.

OBJECTIVES OF THE COLLABORATION

With this acquisition, Tecnalia and ZAYER have taken a further step in their collaboration, which has been ongoing for over fifteen years. Both companies aim to streamline the implementation of new developments, minimizing the time from the conception of an idea or technological advancement to its market launch.

Indeed, the Kronos 3000 machine has been installed at Tecnalia’s headquarters in the Gipuzkoa Technology Park. It is a mobile column milling machine designed to machine large parts with precision and flexibility. It features extended travels on all three axes, high power of up to 60 kW, and a spindle speed of 6,000 rpm.

In conclusion, the investment makes it an ideal piece of equipment for working on demanding materials. Its ergonomic design and sealed enclosure ensure that machining processes are carried out safely and efficiently, optimizing productivity and guaranteeing precision with a positioning accuracy of 0.008 millimeters.
