Blog Fostron expands its capabilities in ultra-precision machining.

In connection with new projects and increasing customer demands, České Budějovice-based MOTOR JIKOV Fostron a.s. is modernizing its technological infrastructure. The machine collection has been expanded with a new five-axis machining center. The Linerarmill 600 Center is ideal for high-speed 5-axis machining of medium-sized workpieces. Its advantages include the ability to machine five sides of a part in a single clamping, as well as its suitability for turning operations. Additional benefits of the machine include a linear drive in 5 axes, a rotary table, and integrated direct measurement systems in all 5 axes. > “When choosing new technologies, we primarily focus on quality and cost-performance ratio. The Linearmill 600 stands out with high stiffness and its ability to machine-shaped mold parts in a single setup. We will mainly use this new machine for roughing mold inserts before hardening, including drilling cooling holes,” states Vladimír Kubeš, Director of the Mold Division at MOTOR JIKOV Fostron a.s.
