Driven by rising demand for precise components, especially with the advent of the EV sector, the machining center market, in India and globally, has been witnessing steady growth. Manufacturers now seek greater flexibility and higher accuracy in their machining centers. Industry 4.0 solutions have become a critical factor, offering enhanced flexibility and allowing for high-speed, high-precision machining operations. The focus has shifted toward integrating high-performance systems with cutting-edge technology, allowing businesses to remain competitive while achieving greater efficiency. However, strict quality standards along with cost per piece or cost of ownership remain major concerns for manufacturers. Machine tools solution providers need to alleviate these concerns by collaborating with the manufacturers throughout the project lifecycle, an approach adopted by Chiron India Machine Tools.
Partnering for Perfection
Manufacturer of vertical machining centers and turn-mill centers, Chiron Group SE has established itself as one of the key players in this segment. The Indian arm of Chiron Group, Chiron India offers machining solutions tailored for high-speed, high-precision operations. “We don’t just sell machines—we provide comprehensive machining solutions by partnering closely with our customers”, says Rajesh T Ghashi, Managing Director at Chiron India Machine Tools.
“From conceptualizing ideas to delivering high-quality, precise parts, we ensure our approach meets the specific needs of each project”, he adds. Its modular designs, offering single or multi-spindle options, are particularly advantageous for automotive parts manufacturing, where high volumes and fast changeovers are essential.
The company considers every aspect of the machining process, from fixturing to tool selection, and employs systems like glass scales and linear feedback to achieve greater accuracy. With advanced devices, CNC systems and Industry 4.0 solutions, Chiron India allows customers to perform virtual real-time process analysis, ensuring that programs and tools are optimized before any actual machining takes place. From the initial request for proposal (RFP) to machine installation and post-sales service, the company maintains a close partnership with its clients. This includes pre-acceptance trials, machine customization, and life cycle services such as annual maintenance contracts to ensure machines are always operational.
Precision in Motion
Since its founding in 2010, recognizing the importance of localized support, the company established a robust service network early on, with engineers trained at the headquarters in Germany to ensure consistent, high-quality service. Regular training updates keep the team aligned with technological advancements, enabling the company to deliver exceptional customer support. Its focus remains on the niche market of high-precision machining, primarily catering to tier-one and export-oriented manufacturers, which presents challenges and opportunities for steady growth. Chiron Group has over 450 machine installations across the country, serving tier-one and tier-two customers.
Innovation is a continuous focus at the company, driving the development of cutting-edge products for the global market
Innovation is a continuous focus at the company, driving the development of cutting-edge products for the global market. A standout example is the Micro 5, a unique micro-precision machining solution introduced a few years ago. Designed for small parts under 50 millimeters cubed, the Micro 5 boasts a compact footprint of just one square meter, a spindle speed of 85,000 RPM, and a capacity for 60 tools with automatic tools and component changers. Notably energy-efficient, the machine operates on just 15 amps and 550 volts, making it one of Chiron’s most sustainable offerings. As it continues to innovate, the company aims to deliver high-performance, sustainable machining solutions that meet evolving industry demands. Its commitment to customer success and environmental stewardship sets it apart in the competitive machining center market.
