Between the University and research world and the business world
The Fundació Centre Cim invest 700,000 euros in the renovation and expansion of its facilities
The Fundació Centre Cim (Computer Integration Manufacturing - manufacturing Iintegrada computer) has invested 700,000 euros in the expansion, more than 1,500 square meters, its facilities, offices, laboratories, classrooms and flexible workshops. The investment, financed with a loan from the Ministry of industry, the Foundation expects to pay off in seven years, has also served to renew all its computer Park, which includes 130 personal computers and 6 servers, and for the acquisition of last generation industrial robots, of new multifunctional models of industrial control, installation of system control WiFi of the machines, as well as mechanization of latest generation machines of up to 7 axes, as the integrated Centre of turning and milling, model NT3150 DCG, of Mori Seiki.

"The industry change and we have to adapt"
The objective of these actions, as explained its director-general, Juan Ramón Gomà, is "to support the industry to meet its new challenges", through the flexible manufacturing and the micromecanización, and be "the perfect Union link between the University and research world and the business world". The presentation of the new facilities also featured the participation of the commercial director of the Centre, Jose María García Camón, who stressed the importance for the industrial "be the day". "The industry change and we have to adapt," said García Camón.
Among other machines, the Foundation has purchased an integrated Centre of turning and milling of high capacity and productivity, of the firm Mori Seiki. In particular, has acquired the model NT3150 DCG, a hybrid between lathe and machining with the DCG Technology Center.

Fundació Centre CISG, located in Parc Tecnológic of Barcelona, in the University area of Barcelona, was created in 1990 as a private foundation of the hands of the College of industrial engineers of Catalonia and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Its aim is none other than the unite the academic world with the business, in terms of advanced technologies of production. Currently, Cim is the technological centre of reference in Catalonia, and with this extension aims to help tackle the two major challenges confronting the industry: the flexible manufacturing and the micromecanización.
Among its activities and services dedicated to the industry, the Organization of masters, postgraduate degrees, courses and seminars, aimed at engineers and skilled technicians, on CAD/CAE/CAPE systems, methodologies and tools for design and engineering, robotics and automated production highlights, the production, strategic and operational management, logistics, automata programming and improvement of processes, among other topics.
Also offers engineering services for companies in the areas of products, machines and processes as the advice and implementation of advanced production processes, tools and methodologies to reduce the time, the cost in the development of new products, as well as prototyping servicesindustrial electronics, metrology, and manufacturing of parts of precision, among others.
