Naval and marine propulsion

Naval shafts propulsion

In 1991 the long term development program of ISMEC has focused the naval sector as primary interest point. A niche sector, where technical values and expectation are the highest, it has represented an interesting challenge that we have taken with passion. Focusing in a sector means investing on the right machines and skills; from a single, 16 mts (52ft 50”) long lathe (at the time one of the biggest machines of its kind in southern Europe) we have now 4 new lathes CNC, working in two shifts/day, all of them reflecting the state-of-the art of their specific field.

A fifth heavy lathe is scheduled for installation in 2011 and this will complete ISMEC’s offer with unique dimensions and weight capacities. Our main clients have oriented our choices and this unceasing pursue to excellence has made of ISMEC a reliable and proficient technological partner. Amongst the main items composing our offer we list complete axial lines, supplied complete with alignment and resin coating,  as well as rudders, gearboxes of any size, complete stabilizers, hull parts, rudder shafts, manoeuvre propellers and so on.

We are able to supply any single part or assembled group (in example load hatches, turret frames and so on) and whatever the client may desire to ask us. All the inspection procedures and standard can be followed, with all the certification organisms the customers will indicate. An advanced CAD-CAM system allows us to produce complex profiles and the virtual model can be reproduced perfectly thanks to an integrated simulation software that replicates the kinematics of the machining tool.
