Formteknik Värnamo specialises in high-pressure die casting tools. To optimise production, the company opted for Grob machines, which reduced machining times from 50 to 60 hours to two to three hours.

The first contact between Formteknik Värnamo and Grob was established in 2022. Formteknik Värnamo's production focused on optimising machining processes. The aim was to complete the workpieces in a single operation wherever possible in order to reduce set-up times and machining steps. In addition, chip management needed to be improved to enable efficient and unmanned production. After a thorough analysis, Formteknik Värnamo decided on Grob's G550 universal machining centre after only three months, as it offered exactly the combination of high precision, flexibility and reliability that Formteknik Värnamo was looking for. Six months after successful commissioning, a second Grob machine, the G750, was purchased to meet increased demand and enable the production of larger tools.

With these machines, we have found a solution for manufacturing our parts in a single operation. The training and service are excellent, and we can run the machines unattended without any problems.
