Our 5-axis milling machine

We use the 5-axis milling machine from Kern Microtechnik for our most accurate workpieces, for example watch components and parts for medical technology.

We acquired it as part of our continuing investment in new technology; it has been producing here since the autumn of 2024. The Erowa robot loads it unattended, so it keeps running outside normal working hours.

In March 2026 the trade magazine Technische Rundschau reported on how this machine is used at our plant. Read the report at technische-rundschau.ch (in German)

Location

Bettlach, canton of Solothurn

Our plant lies at the foot of the Jura, in the heart of the Swiss watch valley. Being close to our customers in the watchmaking, medical and machine industries is part of what we offer: short routes, quick decisions and express orders within 1 to 5 working days.
