Machine Tool Builder with Long Traditions

The story of the machine tool manufacturer MODIG starts deep into the forests in the south of Sweden in 1947. The four brothers of Modig founded the company and began to build machines in Virserum, Sweden. When the company’s lathes, universal drills, and machining centers became more well known worldwide, a woman ran the company, something unique for the time. Ulla Modig was an amazing woman, a true source of inspiration and genuine in the famous MODIG family spirit. Time goes by, and when the 2nd generation takes over, Percy Modig, the company reaches excellent success within the aerospace industry.

MODIG Machine Tool has a long history in machine tool manufacturing characterized by many innovations that have shaped the development of machine tools over the years. The introduction of the first computerized machine in 1982 marked the beginning of a new era for the machine tool manufacturer. MODIG turned their focus and left the off-the-shelf devices behind and introduced the first high-speed machining center in the world in 1987. The following year MODIG launched the world’s first extrusion machine with rotary tables, Profile Line, a powerful best-in-class machine with incredible speeds and feeds, making MODIG the company with the most extensive knowledge in extrusion machining today.

Today, the 3rd generation MODIG, David Modig, runs the company and we are still well-known for our technical ingenuity. In recent years, MODIG has set a new standard for machining, first, with the RigiMill, which holds the world record in material removal. Then with the Inverted machining centers, the next generation of machining.

Machining Centers Available with 3, 4, and 5 Axis Configurations

When selecting a CNC machining center, it is important to consider the number of axes required for machining. Modig provides 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining options.

In 3-axis machining, the workpiece is fixed in one position, and the spindle can move in three linear axes: X, Y, and Z. This type is suitable for parts that don’t require much detail or depth, commonly used for mechanical parts and tasks like milling slots and drilling pockets. However, it may be less effective for cutting hard-to-reach areas.

4-axis machining adds rotation to the three linear axes, allowing for processing multiple sides of the workpiece in one setup. This reduces the need for multiple configurations and is ideal for tasks like intermittent cutting and engraving curved surfaces, ensuring high quality and precision.

In 5-axis machining, three linear axes and two axes of rotation work simultaneously. This allows for complex surface machining in a single setup. With the additional rotation, a 5-axis machine offers more flexibility and higher precision, making it beneficial for components that require great complexity and accuracy.

Choosing the right machining center depends on the specific requirements of the job and the desired level of productivity and precision.
