The three spindle machining by Porta Solutions has been a highlight of the BIE 2016, the Brescia Industrial Exhibition held last may in the north of Italy. The 3 spindles Multicenter machining center by Porta Solutions is ideal for companies which have to produce medium-small lot sizes, with frequent production changes but also for high volume production, representing a real alternative to twin-spindle machines.

The machine enables concrete optimization of workforce resources, automation, tooling/fixturing costs, floor space required and part re-clamping errors, has a flexible standard concept and can be delivered in 3 months. During the italian metalworking exhibition, visitors also had the opportunity to be involved in a human-robot challenge in a golf match, thanks to Comau robot Racer 7.4.1, while Tiesse Robot provided attendees a sweet souvenir of the trade fair, interacting with a robot composing the writing BIE with chocolates.
