Ace Micromatic at ENGIMACH 2025 | Power-Packed Product Walkthrough
WATCH: https://bit.ly/AceMicromatic
Ace Micromatic Group presented a wide range of high-performance machining solutions and automation-ready platforms at ENGIMACH 2025, underlining its focus on productivity, precision, and future-ready manufacturing for the Indian industry. The company’s exhibit featured precision mould-making machines, compact turn-mill centres, automation cells, and CNC simulation technologies.
Die & Mould Machining
Highlighting its die and mould machining portfolio, Thilar K, Product Manager – Die & Mould at Ace Designers Limited (Marketing & Service Division), introduced the 1370V vertical machining centre, developed specifically for mould-making and die-mould applications. The machine offers an X-axis travel of 1300 mm, Y-axis travel of 700 mm, and Z-axis travel of 700 mm, supported by a 1450 mm × 700 mm table.
Equipped with a BT40 spindle interface, an 8,000 rpm direct-driven spindle delivering 15 kW power at 11 bar, and a 24-tool automatic tool changer, the 1370V is designed for demanding material removal operations. The machine is powered by the latest Mitsubishi MIT-VA controller, capable of processing speeds of up to 2,020 blocks per second.
During the exhibition, live machining demonstrations showcased the machine’s heavy cutting capability on P20 pre-hardened steel. “The machine can be effectively used for all heavy metal removal applications,” Thilar added.
Turning & Milling
In the turning and milling segment, Brijesh Jagani, Manager and Business Head – Marketing & Service Division, Ace Designers Limited, presented a compact turn-mill centre equipped with a 12-station live servo turret. The machine supports a wide range of live tooling applications and is aimed at industries such as general engineering, hydraulics, valves, and fittings. Its compact footprint allows easy integration into space-constrained shop floors while combining multiple operations on a single platform.
Automation
Automation was a key theme at the Ace Micromatic booth. Narendra R, Project Head – Automation & IoT, Ace Designers Limited (Turning Centre Division), explained that the automated loading system on display was designed to address high-volume, multi-variant production requirements. The system can handle cup-type, shaft-type, and externally profiled components, enabling continuous production with minimal human intervention.
Narendra noted that the return on investment for such automation solutions is typically under 1.5 years, driven not only by reduced manpower costs but also by significant efficiency gains. He also pointed to workforce availability as a growing challenge, reinforcing the need for automation-ready manufacturing setups.
CNC simulator
Another highlight was Ace Micromatic’s CNC simulator, aimed at both educational institutions and industrial users. The simulator allows NC programs for turning and milling to be developed, verified, and simulated offline without interrupting machine operations. Users can analyse tool paths, conduct virtual measurements, and deploy verified programs directly on the shop floor, enhancing safety and programming efficiency.
Through its ENGIMACH 2025 showcase, Ace Micromatic reinforced its commitment to combining machining excellence with automation and digital technologies to meet the evolving needs of Indian manufacturing.
