Research and Development

DOIMAK-TEKNIKER: a strategic alliance to guarantee technological state of the art.

The DOIMAK strategic policy since the beginning of the eighties has been based on our positioning in a very special sector of the market, demanding machines with the highest technology. For this purpose, the company was convinced that continuous innovation was the key factor in satisfying the strong requirements of our customers products, who are unable to find solutions from manufacturers of conventional machines, as such standard machines are usually purchased on a price basis. Innovation requires extensive technical development and without any doubt, a need to have an active long term commitment in R & D investment, which has been proven to be beneficial in the company’s success and expanding product range.
Since the beginning of our research activity, we have had a close relationship with the Research Centre TEKNIKER. This continuous relationship resulted in the development of several products, such as Thread, Cylindrical, Gear.. grinding machines.
As a result of the partnership with the Technological centre TEKNIKER, coupled with the active, close cooperation with the clients by tailoring the machines and technical solutions to meet their specific needs.

The SIGRIN project is based on the co-working and co-creating job between a grinding machine manufacturer (DOIMAK), hydrostatic technology system manufacturer (HYPROSTATIK) and high performance Carbon core wheel manufacturer (MACH ROTEC). The aim of the project will be to design solutions in order to improve high production ratios by means of machine and process re-design, incorporating Carbon and CBN technology wheels and hydrostatic solutions. The process will consist in improving simultaneous grinding processes in order to decrease cycle times and avoid intermediate machining processes
