CNC Lathes

For better or for worse, time flies. August is now here, and with it comes the sunshine, the smell of barbecue, the beach, afternoons at the pool and all of those good things we long for throughout the rest of the year. During the month of July, at CMZ the pace of work is dizzying. In this whirlwind of tasks, we have had time to create something magical. We have decided to put our skates on and bring you the best reading material of the summer: the CMZ MAGAZINE is born. We are launching the first issue of our new corporate magazine.

Anyone looking for maximum optimisation of their processes, with machines designed for simultaneous machining, is in luck. At CMZ, the family of products is growing. Our TX machines with 2 and 3 towers are going to be joined by the new TTL, a lathe designed for high production and precision turning. And best of all, at the moment we have some excellent deals on both series.

We often say that no one is irreplaceable. To a certain extent, it’s true, but when we see Renzo, at the head of CMZ Italia, we realise that there are exceptions. He is a fundamental piece in the CMZ family. His interview has touched our hearts. He admits, with emotion, that not a day goes by when he doesn’t remember his loyal brother-in-arms: Paolo.

Cafisur, our industrial metalworking plant situated in Cádiz, is expanding its facilities with the construction of an 8,500m2 plant. The objectives are clear: we want to increase our manufacturing capacity by 50% in the next 3 years. In order to grow you have to invest, and that’s what we are doing.

Unity is strength, and don’t we know it! As you know, at CMZ we manufacture practically all of the components of our lathes in plants that we own ourselves. For everything else, we like to surround ourselves with trusted suppliers of the highest order. One of those is FANUC. All of our machines use their controls, servos, etc. For us, more than just suppliers, they are our partners. That’s why we did not hesitate to attend the Open House they organised last week in their premises in Elgoibar, where they included a TA machine in one of their robots.

Roberto Zumarraga represents the 2nd generation of the large family company that CMZ is today, a leading manufacturer of digital control lathes. But it wasn’t always that way. Roberto lets us into his home and his memory to tell us that things weren’t always better in the past.
