PRESS RELEASE: And if the game gets tough, Weerg bets on steel

The news in Weerg never ends. The innovative Italian e-commerce offering CNC and 3D online machining further expands the CNC materials catalogue with the introduction of two different types of steel, fully manufactured in Italy: C45, also known internationally as EN8 or AISI 1045m, and carbon steel 39 (39NiCrMo3), considered one of the best construction steels available on the market. Two new incorporations that respond to the great interest of customers for this alloy.

The introduction of this new material took about 6 months of preparation. “Before the launch we carried out several tests – explains Francesco Zanardo, general manager of Weerg. – In particular, we carried out an intense analysis to carefully select the tools to be implemented in our production line in order to ensure our users the same efficiency and versatility that is guaranteed for other materials”. The analysis carried out by the internal R&D department led to the choice of the best equipment available on the market and, in particular, Sandvik for drilling and Ceravitiz e Hitachi for sheet metal milling and integral milling. The Weerg set of machines, installed at its headquarters in Gardigiano (VE), is confirmed as unique in Italy and allows the deployment of high-end solutions for any type of machining. In fact, for the introduction of steel, 5 of the 10 Hermle C42U machining centres operating in the CNC department have been specifically equipped along with the latest Smooth model Mazak Integrex multitasking lathes. All plants work with 5 axes continuously and at Weerg they are constantly adjusted to the highest precision protocol. The versatility of the equipment allows to choose between different tolerance levels up to H7, highly demanded for the production of locking pins, shafts and bearings, especially for a hard material such as steel, with which it is not possible to force the coupling.
