OREANDA-NEWS. April 09, 2013. Poltava Brake Components Plant has acquired a new milling machine Style BT 1000 (Netherlands). Production capacities expansion is driven by the need to master the production of brake components for rolling stock in conformity with diversification program and business plan in force.

The first stage of CNC milling machine startup provides for machining of the 4300ПА angle cock and Р17Б connection brake pipe.

The main reason for choosing the Style BT1000 milling machine was its productivity and rapid return on investment. According to experts’ calculations, payoff period will last 3-5 years.

The Style BT 1000 CNC milling machine is the best solution for small-batch production. This high-performance equipment allows manufacturing the most complex parts with minimum preparation time. Style machine body is made from high-strength cast iron. To ensure high accuracy and main spindle stiffness the machine is provided with special high-precision bearings that firmly secure spindle shaft both ends and spindle shaft itself. Use of high-precision ball screw and nut assembly enables high working accuracy and dimensional stability when manufacturing the whole batch.

Poltava Brake Components Plant has purchased 13 units of state-of-the-art high-technology equipment for the past three years. Expansion of PAAZ production capacities with the acquisition of equipment by US, German, Swiss, South Korean Taiwanese, Japanese and Dutch manufactures allows manufacturing high quality but affordable products. This is one of key factors of success in the company’s activity.
