The company is showcasing its proven MAGIS and FUTURA series of tool presetters. The exhibition started on sth of October in Milan, Italy and will continue till 10th October.

STP MAGIS
The new STP MAGIS generation of tool presetting and measuring system from Speroni has revolutionized the value of entry level tool measurement.The innovative MAGIS control delivers all of the needed measuring features and functions in a user friendly, clean and trouble-free single screen user interface. As for all of the Speroni Tool Presetting & Measuring Systems, the structure of MAGIS is completely made of aged pearlitic cast iron in order to guarantee the best thermal stability for Indian kind of manufacturing Setup.

Contrasting most presetter designs, the homogeneous structure of MAGIS resolves all of those issues one encounters on systems which use light alloys and/or granite that have a different and unstable reaction to changes in the temperature and the environment. Homogeneity is a key design element which has been proven on Speroni systems for now over 50 years and in the metalworking field for even longer. The choice of materials for the basic structure of our systems is made in order to guarantee this fundamental design criterion.

STP FUTURA
The new STP FUTURA line of tool presetting and measuring systems, is the expression of Speroni’s 50 years of innovative technology. Based on key construction concepts which have always been copied but never equaled, the new STP FUTURA line introduces new levels of ergonomics, ease of use and precision in the tool presetting and measuring world.

The modular design and vast number of configurations available, offer the right solution for every measuring need guaranteeing at the same time full upgradability in the future as your company’s needs grow. The solid design, together with our excellence in manufacturing, eliminates the need for frequent recalibration due to changes in temperature during the work shift; as well as guaranteeing the precision and repeatability of your system year after year.

Speroni Spa has also recently established Speroni India Pvt. Ltd. to cater to the increasing demand of Speroni products in the country. Headquartered in Pune, Speroni India Pvt. Ltd. is headed by Ravi Moolya, General Manager, Speroni India Pvt Ltd. Speroni India will be directly involved in sales & service of Speroni products in the Indian sub-continent.

Some of the most sought after and high-end tools are manufactured right outside the financial capital of the country. Located around 30 kilometres away from Mumbai in Jawahar Industrial Estate, Navi Mumbai, Vora Industries has become well known name in the market.

“We believe in investing in technology. It has been our aim to deliver high end solution, and for that one needs to have the proper and latest technologies in place,” says Jainesh Vora, Director, Vora Industries. The company caters to some of the most demanding industries like aerospace, automotive, medical and energy, etc where the precision level is high.

Vora Industries has been a household name in the circuit since it was conceived in 1976. From its early years, the company showcased all the necessary requisites to become a global name. Not only does the company boasts of having an extensive R&D department, but also is backed by an experience of more than 30 years coupled with the latest, most demanding and complex materials used for machining.

“Customer satisfaction is our priority, and to fulfill the demand of the growing industry we needed tool presetter, a proper inspection machine,” says Jainesh.

There are various domestic and global companies who still prefer using the conventional method rather than opting for a proper tool measuring machine. This at times affects the customers’ productivity and their own production time.

“We were facing some problems in terms of getting the correct dimension. Our quality and inspection department used to put in lot of time inspecting the tool without getting the correct dimension. Since we cater to a diverse set of industries, we needed very special tools. To get the perfect dimension we were looking for the perfect solution,” he says.

All Vora Industries was looking for was a perfect tool-measuring machine that would help them save time and most importantly provide a perfect dimension.

“It was during IMTEX 2010, where I came across the Speroni machine. I personally visited their stall and met a German Executive from Speroni. He explained various aspects of the machine. The application and quality of the machine were convincing and as we were already looking for the perfect solution, we went ahead and bought it soon.”

Understanding the Benefits
Vora industries bought the unique STP Esperia that represents the ideal solution for modern days measuring and tool presetting needs. The Esperia line of tool presetters embodies over 45 years of experience in the manufacturing of high quality tool presetting and measuring equipment.

“Once we installed the machine, our cycle time for inspecting the tool went down drastically. Previously we required two machines in order to inspect the tool. At time our inspection department tried to measure the tool by vernier or gauges, but would never get the correct reading. With the use of STP Esperia we can check the dimension, angle, length, depth and diameter as well as the runout at one go,” avers Jainesh.

The machine is equipped with different helpful features, for example the rapid axis movement has been designed to maximise the ease to use the system, the operator can move the axis simultaneously/ independently, not only this, the precision ground integrated spindle calibration edge helps fast and easy recalibration edge for the fast and easy recalibration of the system. Apart from that, it is equipped with state-of-the-art Schneeberger guideways, quick-change adapter system allows the changing of adopters in less than 8 seconds assuring unmatched precision and accuracy, etc among others.

Talking about the benefits, Jainesh says, “The overall experience with Speroni has been very good, we have understood the benefits as it has helped us enhance accuracy of our tools while cutting down on the time taken during production & inspection. The accuracy of the machine is within three microns and reputability is always the same.”

One of the key features of ESPERIA is that it suits the Indian manufacturers. It can function in any environment.

“No matter where we keep this machine and what the temperature is (though we keep always keep it under 18 degree), it functions smoothly. We have used this machine in other departments as well where there was no air conditioning and still the machine provided the same accuracy,” says Jainesh.

Realising the full Potential
Vora Industries has a product line up to cater to all kind of cutting operations, such as milling program, drilling program, reaming program, special tools under the brand name of SPEED Pro. Today, manufacturers from around the world look up to SPEED Pro as an integral part in their processes. One can find SPEED Pro’s solid carbide tools in manufacturing plants around the world, where they are used in industries as diverse as aerospace, automotive, and plastic and composite components.

Jainesh says, “We use this STP Esperia for all kind of tools. This machine really measure ballnose accuracy to great length and gives the correct picture, not all the machines available in the market can provide such accuracy. We have customers in medical implant sector an aerospace industry, where the demand is for the tool is very precise. I am happy to say that our customers are happy with our products. There were few complaints from the customers regarding dimensions earlier, but after buying STP Esperia complains are negligible.”

Special Case
In last two years, Vora Industries has developed lot of new products for industries like medical implant, aerospace and automobile industry where the requirement is very different, as the material and geometry changes in order to develop high-end tools.

Recalling a special case Jainesh says, “We developed a very niche product for Bosch, Germany. This tool was supposed to be very accurate with at least 12 step length on the tool. The tool diameters were ranging from 3mm to 30mm and the accuracy required for this was extreme. But the machine helped us to do the job without a hitch. We finished the operation and saved time on production too. I would say it would have impossible without the help of Speroni machine.”

After Sales and Service
Sales service plays a major role when a manufacturer purchases a machine. To address to its customers, Speroni always takes an extra effort. They send their engineer to the customer’s factory to train them and come back only if after the operator is confident. Apart from this they continuously visit them to provide time-to-time training.

“For such high-end machines, customers are always worried about the after sales service and spare parts. I appreciate Speroni’s work in India, the team here has helped us import the spare parts within a week and installed the parts on time. Not only this, they have experienced service engineers across India to help the customers. I really appreciate their effort for training our operators to maintain the machine, operate, inspect, etc. Generally, we got a week’s training from others, but Speroni provided almost 30 days of training,” says Jainesh.

Building Confidence
If a tool is not in the right geometry, the overall job’s performance would be different and later affects the productivity of the customer.

“What was important for us was to attain the accuracy to measure the geometry of the tool. The quantum was not important but the quality was,” he says.

More than anything it helped the operator/ engineers at Vora Industries become more confident in what they do. They are now confident about the correct dimensions of their product.
