Works in CNC sectorIn earlier stage, CNC machines were typically imported, and spare parts and electronic components were expensive as well. People were very concerned about the cost and technology was not spreading at a good pace. Ace Micromatic learned about the situation and offered Jobber from its side to meet the market requirements.
“We were into special turning machines in the beginning. In 1986 we made our first CNC machine. The main objective of our group is to make CNC technology affordable and we are working relentlessly on it,” says Mr Ramesh. “70 per cent of output of metal cutting parts goes directly or indirectly into the automotive industry. We designed, developed and brought India’s first truly indigenously made cost-effective CNC called Jobber in 1998.”
Technology mattersAccording to Mr Ramesh, there are basically two types of technology. One is product technology in which machine gets better in its operation, faster in performance and overall cost-effective. Other one is technology from user perspective. It is needed to understand users’ point of view also. Better sourcing, better engineering and fine tuning on the electronics and mechanical parts make products enhanced and that’s what customers want.
