In the dynamic realm of manufacturing, machine tools manufacturers play a pivotal role in enabling precision and innovation. From lathes to grinders, they form the backbone of modern manufacturing, providing unparalleled accuracy. According to Technavio, the India machine tool market is set to grow at a CAGR of 11.31 percent between 2022 and 2027, emphasizing the sector's dynamic trajectory toward efficiency and precision. Despite challenges in redefining precision and embracing technological innovations, these silent architects drive progress. Meeting global demands and ensuring sustainability adds complexity. Established in 1976 by Shailesh Sheth, Scarlo Machines welcomed Bharat Sheth as a partner in 1979. With a combined work experience of more than 20 years both brothers from the USA, bring extensive experience in mechanical design and processes.
With a commitment to quality, Scarlo Machines places a strong emphasis on precision grinding, meticulously inspecting each component at every stage of manufacturing to uphold the highest standards before integrating them into their machines. The company's dedication to quality extends to the training of its staff, ensuring a 'fit and forget' approach in machine development. Presently, the firm’s machines feature internet-connected capabilities as custom features, with
dedicated solution providers conducting data analysis through graphs and processes for informed decision-making. Despite these advancements, the reluctance of most factories to share internal working or process data with third parties remains a prevalent challenge in the industry.
In response to the evolving demands of the industry, Scarlo Machines has achieved significant milestones this year by introducing machines with complete automation and exceptional precision. As the market increasingly focuses on minimal tolerances and narrow margins of error, the firm has anticipated and met this need by developing three entirely new models of centerless grinders. Recognizing the industry's shift towards higher precision for various applications, Scarlo Machines is committed to staying ahead of the curve. “We understand that precision is now not only expected but also required at higher speeds, especially in mass production scenarios. Our machines boast features such as a remarkable 45-meter grinding speed, setting a new standard for our customers. In addition, our precision grinders have twin-grip type spindle design with wheel width up to 300 mm" speaks Chintan Sheth, Managing Partner.
Scarlo Machines stands as a versatile force in the manufacturing landscape, catering to a diverse range of industries including automobile, bearing, textile, and pharmaceuticals. The firm adapts to changing needs by serving industries in cutting-edge developments, including surgical wires, EV shafts, servo motor shafts, dental tools, electronics manufacturing drills, and capsule production. This expansion addresses the emerging demands in the Indian market, reflecting a shift from traditional high-volume components like bearing races and combustion engine parts to newer, intricate applications. Notably, the company’s centerless grinding machines have not only met but exceeded expectations, replacing cylindrical grinding applications with plunge feeding, particularly in scenarios where concentricity to the center is not a requirement.
“As we stand at a promising crossroads, the future of centerless grinding applications appears exceptionally bright for Scarlo Machines. The Make in India initiative has ushered in a wave of diverse products across applications, aligning with the changing consumer mindset that emphasizes productivity, innovation, precision, and consistency. Positioned as a high precision grinding application machine manufacturer, our company is well poised for a future marked by growth and success”, adds Chintan Sheth. Scarlo Machines is more dedicated than ever to this category, exemplified by its commitment to training the customers' staff free of charge. Additionally, the firm also provides complimentary technical assistance and services within the warranty period. To ensure sustained optimal performance and longevity, Scarlo Machines even offer annual maintenance checkups, complemented by automated time-based maintenance alarms and checklists for each machine.
