machining center Tool manufacturer from Thailand relies on VOLLMER The Thai town of Bang Wua has around 13,000 inhabitants and belongs to the province of Chachoengsao. The rural region is progressively attracting industrial companies, due to its proximity to the megacity of Bangkok. The tool manufacturer N.S.T. Machinery Company Limited set up a shop in Bang Wua in 2011 and has been a customer of Biberach-based sharpening specialist VOLLMER since five years. VOLLMER has been represented in Thailand since many years, and founded the VOLLMER Asia Pacific subsidiary in Bangkok just two years ago. Its customer N.S.T. Machinery is only 30 min outside of Bangkok, which makes personal on-site support very easy. Opening up new markets with the VHybrid 260 N. S. T. Machinery makes machining tools from carbide, HSS or PCD. In a few years it has become a top manufacturer of precision tools for industries like aerospace, medical, automotive and electronics. With 80 employees it serves about 160 customers, earning around five million Euro yearly. Narong Yimnuam, managing director, praises VOLLMER Asia Pacific for their immediate support and mentions their recent investment in a VHybrid 260 machine to enhance production. N.S.T. Machinery uses the VHybrid 260 to grind or erode up to 100 % of both carbide and PCD tools in a single set-up. The VHybrid 260 is based on multi-layer machining, which is implemented through two vertically configured spindles. The lower spindle can be used both for grinding and for eroding. Due to the robust kinematics and the VPulse EDM high-performance generator, N.S.T. Machinery can use the machine to produce the smallest microtools with diameters of 0.45 mm or less with the highest precision, performance and surface finish. Five wire erosion machines for PCD machining “Our aim is to make a name for ourselves as a specialist in cutting tools both in Thailand Due to the wire, N.S.T. Machinery can use the VOLLMER VPulse 500 erosion machine for precise machining, even of complex geometries and small inner radii – these structures are typical of multi-stage tools and bell-shaped tools and abroad, and to position ourselves on the global market in the long term with advanced technology and high-end quality”, adds Narong Yimnuam. “We have grown enormously, especially since entering the PCD sector five years ago. Five VOLLMER wire erosion machines from the VPulse and QWD series played a central role in this.” Four of the five VOLLMER wire erosion machines are VPulse 500 models. N.S.T. Machinery uses them to manufacture a wide range of PCD tools, from end mills, stepped reamers and moulds to special drills and step drills. Thanks to simultaneous path interpolation along five CNC axes the machining tools can be eroded precisely in a single set-up. As with the VHybrid 260, the centerpiece of the VPulse 500 is the VPulse EDM generator, which ensures a higher removal rate or improved surface quality. Due to the eroding wire, N.S.T. Machinery can use the machine for precise machining even of complex geometries and small inner radii – these structures are typical for multi-stage tools and bell-shaped tools. The relevant automatic settings enable unmanned tool machining around the clock. N.S.T. Machinery scores points with microtools “VOLLMER’s technologies and services align well with our company motto of quality, precision, timely delivery and innovative solutions for complex tool machining”, says Narong Yimnuam. “Through collaboration with VOLLMER we aim to enhance our employees’ skills to better meet our customers’ needs. A VGrind 340S tool-grinding machine will soon join our fleet.” This machine, operating since the end of 2024, produces delicate microtools for industries like medical and electronics, efficiently grinding small carbide tools. It features a tool steady rest for optimum concentricity and an optional back rest for longer drills. further information: www.vollmer-group.com no. 2, May 2025 43
