The Goimek cooperative specializes in precision parts machining
The Goimek cooperative, headquartered in Guipúzcoa, was founded a year ago by the Danobat group to devote himself exclusively to the machining of high precision of strategic parts. The machining was already an area of business of Danobat, but the Organization opted to create a separate company, with the strategic objective of enhancing the business of machining and offer its customers a comprehensive service; Currently, as indicated by Aitor Alkorta, Manager of Goimek, "we offer a global service as it enters the material to give the necessary treatment for the piece they need;" "in this way, when we supply the piece, the client can now reinstate her in her production of Assembly and coincides with the design that we had requested. Goimek customers come mainly from machine tool and rail sector.
The membership of Goimek in the Danobat group is fundamental to its customers and suppliers. The group, which is framed in the Division of machine tools of Mondragón Corporación Cooperativa, is composed of the following companies: Danobat (grinders, lathes and saws); Danobat systems (special machines and transfer, and high-speed machining centres); Estarta (grinders without centres); Goiti (punching machines, folding and laser); Lealde (Lathes); Soraluce (milling machines and centers of milling) and Dano-Rail (rail maintenance systems).
The strategic objectives of Danobat group include: contribute to the satisfaction of the needs of customers; place among European leaders of machine tools and offer to the market machinery and advanced technology solutions.
To achieve its objectives and a privileged position in the market, it has an equipment of first order marks. Among them are the three-dimensional measurement of Carl Zeiss teams, which have also been critical: the introduction, by Goimek, of a Vast Gold MMZ-B team - marketed by the Spanish subsidiary of the organization German - has allowed him to offer a better service to its customers. It's the largest Zeiss installed in our country machine, and is notable for its high accuracy.
For a company so specialized as cooperative Goimek, meet the requirements of quality and precision that their customers demand with ample guarantees is a major issue in their business policy. Thus, last September, his leadership decided to incorporate MMZ-B Vast Gold 3D measurement equipment, developed by Carl Zeiss.
As explained by Aitor Alkorta, "Goimek is a cooperative that we associate with quality;" "for this reason, we like to have the best means available and the Zeiss team was what we wanted and needed." Alkorta is unqualified to say that "the three-dimensional team MMZ-B Vast Gold allows us to ensure the accuracy of the parts we manufacture".
On the other hand, the Manager of Goimek, which also emphasizes ease of use of the Calypso software that incorporates the team recognizes the enormous potential that brings this instrument of industrial metrology: "We need hard work and practice to take advantage of all the potential of the team;" the important thing is that he is takes over work and protocols to be followed by the technicians; It is important to define measurement strategies and that technicians carried out directly with the pieces; "it can not go faster with a machine of this kind".
Training by Zeiss was also important that their technicians have helped to know how the machine works. "Each piece is a world - continues - and requires some measurement tactics." "Zeiss technicians have helped us to define first guidelines necessary to ensure the accuracy of measurement".
Global engineering for a wide variety of ranges of measurement
The Vast Gold MMZ-B is a machine of coordinate measurement which is a system of flexible Metrology for machinery components. A modern mechanical design and measurement systems in both sides of the shaft and are the main features that make these best measuring machines for the inspection of large parts that require high demands of precision. Its main features are: a high speed, fixed on the ground, VAST technology, design and high flexibility.
On the other hand, the Vast Gold MMZ-B the software used Calypso, Zeiss, which has revolutionized the programming in metrology by allowing their use in all strategies and measurement tasks - whether a single point measurement or measurement by scanning, the manual or CNC measurement, the measurement made in a machine of measurement by coordinates or offline, touch or optical, normal geometry or irregular surfaces. Thanks to this programming environment, geared to characteristics, Calypso is so easy to use as any other software. This tool uses the most modern technologies of programming, which is a programming faster and more secure and, accordingly, a saving of time and costs.
