Roth purchases an additional INDEX C200 production turning machine, allowing it now to machine parts with a diameter of up to 90 mm. The decisive factor for the purchase was the realisation of a market gap in the machining of turned parts from bars with larger diameters as well as a large order from the optics industry.

We are expanding our production with a highly productive bar turning machine with a spindle capacity of 90 mm. With this investment, we are taking advantage of the opportunity of strong and unmet demand. Thanks to this specific expansion in production, we have already won a first major order from the optics industry.

Economic production

We opted for the INDEX C200 from INDEX TRAUB, a leading global manufacturer of CNC machines. We are familiar with the brand, as several automatic turning machines from this manufacturer are already part of our machine park. The INDEX C200 impresses us with its user-friendly operation, its high stability and rigidity, and especially because of its faster setup and production times.

Relevant niche market

Due to numerous requests for turned parts machined from bars with a diameter between 65 and 90 mm from a wide range of industries, we have been able to establish that there is a strong demand in this niche area. The large order from the optics industry confirmed the potential in this special area of turning.

With the acquisition of the INDEX C200, and thanks to our many years of experience and expertise in turning, we are now ready to supply customers with turned parts with a larger diameter in a highly productive and economical manner.
