EUrotech elite
In Depth
The four specs that decide high-mix fit
Tool capacity (Eurotech examples: up to 96 tools on Stallion; 72 on Trofeo; 64 on Diamont); modular quick-change live tooling; sub-spindle/back-working; Y-axis count for milled features.
Changeover is a process, not just a machine spec
Programs, tooling libraries, documented setups; turnkey + lifetime training as the mechanism.
Hybrid Swiss as a high-mix weapon
Guide bushing in for the Swiss jobs, out for the chucker jobs.
When high-mix means "call the factory"
Free time studies on each new part family; 24/7 engineering support as an ongoing high-mix resource, not a launch service.
Common questions
How many tools do I actually need?
Enough that your recurring jobs stay resident without re-tooling — Eurotech configurations reach up to 96 tools (Stallion). The right count depends on your job family.
Multi-axis vs multiple machines for mixed work?
Count labor, WIP, and scrap from re-fixturing across machines, not just machine price. A time study compares your actual mix.
What changeover time should I expect?
[Confirm typical figures with Eurotech before quantifying.]
