Roeders specialise in high speed machining in applications where accuracy and surface finish demands are at their most extreme.

Widely regarded as among the most accurate machine tools on the market, Roeders have built up a stellar reputation in the ultra high precision category.

Typical Applications Include:

Mould and Die Production
High Precision Production Parts
Minting Technology
Optical Componets
Impellor, Blisks and Turbine Blades
Medical Components

                    Technical Capabilites
                  This is a small sample of some of the technologies available with Roeders

  • HSC milling and jig grinding in one set-up
  • Hard milling capability
  • Accuracy level that is equal to a CMM
  • CMM inspection report generation directly from the machine
  • Double spindle machines
  • Exact temperature stabilisation in non temperature controlled environments
  • Bespoke construction on each machine to match the chosen spindle RPM
  • Frictionless weight compensation of Z axis
  • Internal coolant circuits throughout the machine
  • Ability to load additional tools and spindles from automation 
  • Real time automatic spindle growth compensation

Hear what Crossen Engineering have to say about their 3 axis Roeders machine.

So accurate you can use it as a CMM




Listen to Damien Dowd from Galway Tool and Mould discuss how a zero failure rates is demanded and achieved on their medical device moulds using their fleet of Roeders high speed machining centres



James Lawrence from Lawrence Engineering holds a discussion on how adding Roeders has transformed their lead times on moulds. 

Previously the process involved pre milling, sending out for hardening, then performing EDM and finally labourious hand polishing

With their Roeders they are capable of hard milling to extreme accuracies meaning parts can be produced in one hit and all the other stages (Pre milling, hardening, EDM, polishing) have been eliminated. What previously took 4 -6 weeks is now turned around to the customer in 1 - 2 weeks.
