Blaser Swisslube recently extended its ultra-modern Technology Center to 3200 sq ft. of floor space at its Head Office site in Hasle-Rüegsau (Switzerland). For the last four years, this is where the latest metalworking fluids to be developed are tested, and where the versatile machining operations of its customers and partners are recreated in a realistic way. The Technology Center enables the machining specialists from Blaser to provide customers with cutting and grinding fluids that deliver an effective form of added value and which help to optimize their productivity, economic efficiency as well as the quality of their machining operations. Test results provide convincing evidence.

Hasle-Rüegsau (March 11^th, 2013) - Two 5-axis machining centers, one turning and milling center, a 5-axis tool grinding machine and two new CAD/CAM workplaces: Blaser Swisslube has now created optimum conditions for simulating and testing the latest machining technologies in its Technology Center, founded at the end of 2008. "That enables us to provide our customers with even better levels of support, and to help them improve their productivity and economic efficiency, as well as to optimize the quality of their machining operations", explains CEO Marc Blaser. In addition to the tests conducted on recently developed metalworking fluids for the machining of an incredibly diverse range of materials, and the close-to-reality simulation of production situations, the infrastructure enables machining seminars to be delivered from the Blaser head office site in Hasle-Rüegsau. In collaboration with customers, universities, colleges of advanced technology or trade associations, innovative machining technologies and the latest materials are tested with various metalworking fluids, after which the processes, as well as the cutting and grinding fluids, can be optimized and developed yet further.
