CERN: The European research centre for particle physics in Geneva invested in the CTX 510 eco as the flexible allrounder Universal Turning Machine.
What happened in the moment of the Big Bang is possibly the last big puzzle in physics? Information on this mystery will soon be coming from a research project being conducted at CERN in Geneva that involves 10,000 scientists from all over the world. In the MME department of CERN, Alain Stadler shows us his latest acquisition – a CTX 510 eco machine from DMG that was installed in June 2009 and has quickly become the favourite. “The CTX 510 eco is an absolute highlight in the area of turning technology”, he points out. “Currently, there is no work piece in our wide spectrum of parts that cannot be processed on the high precision 510. With that, we are less concerned about high production rates and more interested in flexibility. Here, optimal accessibility to the work area, shop floor-oriented programming and the interaction with the driven tools provide amazing performance.”
