Progressive miniaturization in the watch making industry, medical technology and electronics industries continue to put increased pressure on tool manufacturers: They are routinely required to produce increasingly smaller drilling and milling tools to meet the demand for high-quality machining results. But how can tools with diameters as small as 0.03mm be manufactured? The grinding machine experts at Rollomatic provide the answer: The GrindSmart Nano6.

With the GrindSmartNano5, Swiss grinding machine manufacturer Rollomatic has developed a high-performance grinding machine for the series production of dental and medical tools that not only grinds an impressive range of tools, but does so fully automatically, without any operator intervention.

Precise and highly productive in a wide range of applications – this is what the new tool grinding machine GrindSmart629XS from Rollomatic SA stands for.
