Investing in Innovation: New Vertical Turning Center

Investing in Innovation: New Vertical Turning Center

At Lomec Aerospace, we believe that innovation is not a destination but an ongoing process.

This vision drives us to constantly invest in new technologies, state-of-the-art machinery, and solutions that expand our production capabilities, making us an increasingly reliable partner for the aerospace sector.

Our journey as a Benefit Corporation and as a company committed to sustainable and technological growth also involves strategic decisions: equipping our production department with cutting-edge tools to strengthen competitiveness while ensuring new opportunities for our clients.

Today, this commitment takes shape with a major investment that marks an important step forward: a vertical turning center,, a powerful, precise, and versatile machine designed for large and complex machining.

A New Frontier for Lomec Aerospace

The vertical turning is more than just a machine: it is a strategic ally that significantly expands the range of aerospace components we can manufacture.

This vertical lathe can machine parts with diameters up to 1600 mm and a Z-axis stroke of 1400 mm, ensuring exceptional stability and rigidity for heavy-duty operations requiring high precision.

This means that, starting today, we can produce large-scale components, such as rings for medium-to-large satellites, thus broadening the spectrum of solutions we can offer to our partners and clients.

Why Does This Vertical Lathe Make the Difference?

The introduction of this machine follows a clear logic: in aerospace, the demand for large-scale components is increasingly frequent and strategically relevant.

Think of structures, rings, or other parts that must withstand extreme conditions while maintaining minimal tolerances. Such machining processes require equipment capable not only of handling size but also of ensuring precision and reliability at every stage.

Thanks to its wide column design, high-rigidity RAM, and use of powered tools, the vertical turning provides the ideal conditions for stable, safe, and high-quality machining. It is not just about size—it’s about the integration of power and precision, two essential values for anyone operating in aerospace.

Lomec Aerospace: Growing Together with Our Clients

The acquisition of the vertical turning is not a finish line, but a milestone in a growth journey that places us daily alongside our clients. It allows us to say, with even greater confidence, that we can offer a complete service: from the selection and management of raw materials to the delivery of a certified, finished product.

For those who work with us, this translates into:

  • More solutions: we can handle projects requiring large-scale components, without compromising quality.
  • More reliability: thanks to continuous monitoring and integration with our management systems.
  • More innovation: technologies that combine turning and milling in a single machine enable us to solve complex challenges with greater efficiency.

The aerospace sector is constantly evolving. To meet new challenges, companies must innovate and invest. Every new piece of equipment, every technological investment, is for us a statement of intent: we want to grow alongside the market, anticipate its needs, and offer solutions that truly make a difference.

For Lomec, innovation is a daily commitment: it is how we build our present and prepare for our future.
