Some of our projects for Work preparation engineers

Producing cables for high-end applications

At the cable department we are making (almost) all the cables what we use inside all the products we make at Prodrive Technologies. We also send cables directly to the customer. The cables we make are varying from small single connections to whole assemblies inside cabinets and big power cables.

Producing with highly-automated milling machines

We are aiming for a fully automatic milling machine area. This means that a robot is placing and taking pallets and product in and out of the machine.

The Makino D500, Matsuura Lumex Avance-25, Hermle C60 and Datron MLCube machines make impossible things possible. High accuracy and large working space gives almost unlimited milling possibilities, which is very useful in our industry. The milling process is finished at the inspection station. Products are tested on a coordinate measuring machine with an accuracy of 0.001 mm. Some of our products save lives, so there is no room for carelessness.
