Zubacor

Zubacor is a company founded back in 1963. It is currently focused on the manufacture and assembly of different machines, the production of parts under drawing and the development of accessories for machine tools.

Area of the company where the solution is focused:

Tailstock manufacturing

Company size: PYME
Sector: Metallic carpentry
Location: Elgoibar (Gipuzkoa)

Benefits of the Solution:

  • Upgrading of the properties of the manufactured item
  • Better use of specific materials
  • Reduction of the required supplies for the manufacturing process

Incorporated Technologies:

  • Laser Metal Deposition technology (LMD)
  • Localised thermic treatments
