Coratec AG – Case Study: Reducing Costs and Boosting Quality with Muratori CNC Ranger

Coratec AG, located in Gunzgen, Switzerland, specializes in producing structural composite platforms tailored to the specific requirements of clients in diverse industries, including automotive, construction, and industrial manufacturing. Known for their dedication to precision and high-quality output, Coratec sought a solution to improve their production efficiency and reduce operational costs.

Previously, Coratec faced significant challenges due to outsourcing critical machining processes to external suppliers. This dependence not only increased costs but also complicated logistics, creating delays and inefficiencies. The primary objective was clear: enhance their internal machining capabilities, increase production efficiency, and substantially improve product quality.

After thorough research and evaluation, Coratec chose Muratori Machines’ CNC Ranger with a vertical machining setup. This solution was uniquely suited to their operational constraints—specifically space limitations—and the necessity to process large and thick composite panels. The vertical configuration of the CNC Ranger provided significant spatial efficiency, allowing Coratec to integrate the equipment seamlessly within their facility.

The benefits of adopting the Muratori CNC Ranger were immediate and impressive. Coratec eliminated the need for costly outsourcing, saving thousands of euros previously spent on logistics and external processing. Moreover, they achieved significant advancements in their ability to perform complex nesting operations internally, enhancing their overall material efficiency and reducing waste substantially.

An additional benefit, beyond initial expectations, was the significant improvement in the quality of machining operations. With Muratori’s CNC Ranger, Coratec achieved unprecedented precision, allowing the company to handle intricate tasks, including the precise processing of core materials—operations previously impossible with their existing setup.

Reflecting on the partnership, the management at Coratec emphasized how crucial the vertical CNC solution has been for their production quality and operational efficiency. They affirmed the significant value gained by handling all processes internally, underscoring how the flexibility and efficiency of Muratori’s machine directly contributed to increased competitiveness.

Looking ahead, Coratec aims to continue innovating and further automate its processes to remain at the forefront of their market. Muratori Machines remains a critical partner in this vision, providing ongoing technological solutions that help Coratec enhance productivity and maintain the highest standards of quality.
