Ever since it was founded in 1862, the Geneva-based Société d’Instruments de Précision (SIP) has been a benchmark for precision machine tool engineering. The basic design of SIP machines can still be found today in all traditional machining centers, both for vertical and horizontal models. The SIP vertical range is a must for all producers of parts with high levels of value creations. It enables ultraprecision positioning and the closest of dimensional tolerances for drilling and milled surfaces. The machine frame, cast as one piece from high grade cast iron (GGG80), guarantees top stability and long term precision. Its 3-point support does not require a special foundation and it will even maintain its volumetricefficiency rate on a slightly uneven surface. The SIP range of high precision spindles, with highest accuracy, offers a solution for every application. For deep hole boring, SIP has a special spindle with precision quill. High speed spindles, with 30 000 rpm, and grinding spindles are also available with SIP centers. All spindles have ultra precise bearings with variable hydraulic bearing preloads and a concentrically arranged, highly accurate high performance asynchronous motor. Unique ultra precise measuring system Only top quality steel scales are used in SIP machining centers. This has the advantage that the unique precision of the machine, even with temperature fluctuations of up to 1 °C per hour and 4 °C per day, can be guaranteed.
