Prototypes and development

A prototype should expose mistakes before they turn into expensive tooling. We make it fast, measure it and work with your team to refine the design for series production.

The challenge

Development teams need parts quickly and in several iterations. But typical machine shops prioritise series work and only get round to the prototype when it is already too late.

How we solve it

01Prototypes are made on the machines of our own prototype centre.
02We flag features that would make series production unnecessarily expensive.
03We measure complex shapes and return the deviations to you as input for design changes.
04From prototype we move seamlessly into small-batch or repeat production.

What we make it on

5-axis machining centre

AXILE G8

The largest machine in our workshop. It machines parts up to one metre in diameter and three tonnes in weight in five simultaneous axes, in a single set-up – and measures the workpiece and tools itself.

Max. workpiece diameter: 1,000 mm
Table load: 3,000 kg
Travels X / Y / Z: 800 / 850 / 550 mm
A / C axes: ±120° / 380°
Spindle speed: 15,000 rpm
Tool magazine: 120
Table diameter: 800 mm
Spindle taper: HSK 63A

Acquired under the project „Vybavení nového prototypového centra společnosti MNástrojárna s.r.o.“ (Equipment of the new prototype centre of MNástrojárna s.r.o.), reg. no. CZ.01.1.02/0.0/0.0/17_093/0012410.

Twin-spindle lathe + 5-axis milling centre

HYPERTUN 65 Powermill

A lathe and a 5-axis milling machine in one. A rotational part with milled features is completed in a single cycle – with no transfers between machines and no further set-ups.

Max. turning length: 1,150 mm
Swing over bed: 500 mm
Distance between spindles: 1,300 mm
Spindle bore: 64 mm
Chuck size: 250 mm
Spindle speed: 5,000 rpm (C axis)
Milling head: 12,000 rpm
Tool magazine: 104

Acquired under the project „Vybavení prototypové dílny společnosti Mnástrojárna s.r.o.“ (Equipment of the prototype workshop of Mnástrojárna s.r.o.), reg. no. CZ.01.1.02/0.0/0.0/16_092/0010019.

Wire EDM machine

FANUC ROBOCUT α-C800iB

Wire EDM for precise profiles in hardened materials. It accommodates large parts too, and cuts tapered shapes in five axes.

Max. workpiece: 1,250 × 975 × 500 mm
Travels X / Y / Z: 800 × 600 × 510 mm
Wire diameter: from 0.1 mm
Cutting: up to 5 axes
