Company Overview
and History

Founded in 1916, Carl Benzinger began as a manufacturer of turning and milling machines in Pforzheim, Germany, initially serving the jewellery and watchmaking industries. By 1941, under the management of the Jehle family, the company transitioned into CNC lathe production, establishing itself as a leader in high-precision machining.

Today, Benzinger operates as a globally recognized organisation, specializing in ultra-precision CNC lathes and milling machines for industries such as medical, aerospace, automotive, optics, and watchmaking.

Benzinger’s philosophy centres on German-engineered quality, modular machine design, and customer-specific automation solutions, ensuring maximum productivity and unmatched precision.

Extreme Precision & Stability

  • High Accuracy Spindles (roundness and runout < 0.5µm).
  • Linear guideways and thermally compensated structures for nanometer-level accuracy.

Integrated Hard Turning & Grinding

  • Hard turning (up to 72 HRc) replaces grinding, reducing costs and cycle times.
    • Mirror finishes (< 3µm) are achievable.
    • Dry machining eliminates the requirement for coolant.
  • Combined hard turning + grinding for sealing surfaces (e.g., valve seats).

High-Speed Machining Capabilities

  • Main and Counter Spindle: 15,000 rpm.
  • 5-axis milling spindle: 30,000 rpm (HSK-40).

Deep Hole Drilling

  • Gun Drilling with 100 bar coolant pressure.
  • L/D ratio > 30 (e.g., medical implants, aerospace components).

Industry 4.0 & Smart Manufacturing

  • Benzinger Smart Panel: Real-time tool monitoring, predictive maintenance, and remote access.
  • CB-Apps: Digital workflows for setup optimisation, document management.

We use OSG mainly but when we have a specific job that needs doing, we come to Rainford Precision because they are and do the Crème De La Crème of Products and services.
Works Manager
Precision Engineering
The End Mill was an ideal choice due to the unusual shape and the need to have a small radius. They turned out great, and the surface finish is really good.
External Works Manager
Precision Engineering
I would like to say thank you for the help you have given our project over the last few years. Your advice on the correct cutters plus the right speeds and feeds has not only helped with accuracy but brought the cycle times down so we can meet our project deadlines.
