Benzinger Machines For Jewellery and Watches

This fully automatic ring sawing system is designed for customised, order-based production, offering the following key features:

• Automated Processing: Performs order-specific sawing of ring blanks in various dimensions.
• High-Capacity Magazine: Equipped with a loader that holds either 36 or 54 tubes of different precious metal alloys.
• Flexible Data Input: Accepts order data automatically from an ERP system, a customer's ring configurator, or via manual entry.
• Integrated Widening: Includes a device that automatically expands sawn rings by several sizes, depending on the material.
• Seamless Integration: Unloads widened rings onto bars that are directly compatible with Benzinger GORing and DOLittle-TKR lathes.

The DOLittle TKR CNC turning lathe is a compact, all-in-one solution for bright-turning wedding rings. It achieves a flawless interior and exterior finish on a minimal footprint. Operating with manual or full automation, this machine meets the highest surface quality standards by employing diamond tools to produce a glossy finish directly during turning. Combining maximum flexibility and productivity, the DOLittle TKR is effortlessly controlled through intuitive, parameterised CNC programs and a custom user interface.

The GOFuture BX mill turn center integrates the renowned precision of our legacy lathes with the advanced capabilities of a modern 5-axis milling machine. This CNC center is highly efficient for both small and large production runs. Its innovative design features rapidly interchangeable linear blocks for turning tools and a standard tool changer for the milling spindle, enabling swift and flexible retooling without sacrificing precision or rigidity.

It offers a range of high-precision turning spindles (26-42 mm diameter) with exceptional run-out accuracy (< 0.7µm) and speeds up to 8,000 rpm, paired with versatile clamping systems for both powerful and delicate workpiece handling. A Y-axis expands machining possibilities and reduces setup time by allowing tool height adjustments directly through the machine's NC controls.

Automation is seamless with Benzinger's proprietary loading systems, third-party robotic cells, or a bar feeder for uninterrupted bar machining. The entire system is powered by state-of-the-art Siemens or Fanuc controls, offering multiple programming options.

The 5@light mill/turn centre represents a 5-axis milling centre on the most compact footprint.

Due to its design and axis arrangement, this 5-axis milling centre offers a great deal of freedom and possibilities that are not possible with conventional milling centres. Rings, bracelets, and watch parts are diamond milled, engraved, facetted, etc. on any surface, and gemstones are set fully automatically in connection with our Four C Diamond Measuring Machine.

A tool magazine and numerous other equipment details make the 5@light a flexible turn/mill machine for ring and bangle processing.

Using specifically developed, parameterized CNC programs paired with special user interfaces, these turn/mill machines can be programmed and operated effortlessly and intuitively.
