ROBODRILL Excels in Producing Moulds for the Glass Industry

INHOM-98 has been relying on FANUC products since the establishment of the company in 1991 and today 24 machines with FANUC CNC controls are installed in the production, from a total of 42 machine tools. "We can honestly say that the comparison with other CNCs is in a favour of FANUC. We believe that they are better and that‘s why we venture the growth of our company to be based on machines with FANUC controls,” says Eng. Vanyo Palazov, owner and CEO of INHOM-98 Ltd.

In early 2009, the company implemented two FANUC ROBODRILL vertical machining centres. After the implementation, the management was convinced of the advantages of these machining centres and further installed three additional ROBODRILL machines in the production. "We rarely have any problems with them. Furthermore, ROBODRILLs have extremely high performance rates, work fast and are accurate and efficient. The 24,000 rpm spindle for a milling machine - this is unique. FANUC guarantee the quality of the surfaces and volumes of the glass moulds," declares Mr. Palazov.

Vanyo Palazov

Owner & CEO

INHOM-98 has been relying on FANUC Bulgaria’s services for more than 25 years now. INHOM-98’s owner, Mr. Palazov, openly shares his satisfaction with the easy communication and the quality of the services provided by FANUC engineers.

INHOM-98 uses all of FANUC services and relies on their competence and fast reaction. "FANUC has built reliable and stable systems that do not require  frequent repairs. However, when emergency repairs are required, which is very rare, they respond with a fast and qualitative service. Our last repair was on one of the ROBODRILLs, which is 11 years old now. Due to increased backlash, we needed to repair the ball-screws of the X and Y axes. I have to emphasise that after the repair, the machine has reached the parameters of a brand-new machine. We are extremely happy with this." 

INHOM-98 is a mould manufacturer for the glass industry. For the production of parts with high complexity and shapes, they have installed several machines with FANUC CNC controls and five FANUC ROBODRILL machining centers.

A new production facility is currently under construction, which will allow the company to significantly increase its production capacity and offer better and faster service to their current customers. "To remain competitive we rely on continuous process optimisation and in the coming years, we will rely on an increasing level of robotisation. The investments we plan to make also include new machines with FANUC CNC controls - the future development of INHOM-98 will continue to be closely related to FANUC equipment and FANUC Bulgaria services," concludes the CEO, Eng. Palazov.
