Fermat box-way, heavy-duty, horizontal boring machines range in size from 1,200 mm to 28,100 mm in the X axis, with up to 6,000 mm in the Y axis. Adding Fermat’s indexable and contouring heads, and its rotary and bespoke tables, all designed and built in-house, brings further flexibility.
Similarly, the company’s grinding machines provide extensive capacity, with between-centre distances of up to 6,000 mm and a capability to grind parts weighing up to 5,000 kg.
Broadbent Stanley will be focussing its sales activity for the Fermat product range on the oil and gas, rail, power generation, marine, and yellow goods sectors.
Based in Prague, Fermat currently employs over 600 people and can trace its roots back to 1901. With five manufacturing sites in the Czech Republic, Fermat still manufactures 95% of the components for its machines in-house, which enhances project control and lead times. As well as manufacturing new horizontal mills and cylindrical grinders, the company utilises its knowledge to provide a rebuild and retrofit service.
“The addition of these products to the Broadbent Stanley portfolio means we are the only company offering European-built, heavy-duty, large-capacity mills and grinders in the in the UK and Ireland,” says Graham Thomas, managing director at Broadbent Stanley.
