Ancora supplies end-of-line technologies to Brazil and Turkey

Ancora Group, a leading Italian company specialising in end-of-line technologies, recently won substantial orders in Brazil and Turkey.
Ceramica Cecrisa, a Brazilian company belonging to the Portinari Group, ordered a scoring, snapping and squaring line with 14+14 spindles. Biancogres, a company specialising in porcelain tile production, purchased a 20-head lapping machine.
Meanwhile in Turkey, a 24-head lapping line complete with a 12+12 spindle squaring machine and a waxing plant was delivered to the important Izmir-based company Ege Seramik.
Faithful to the company tradition of ruggedness and reliability, the Ancora squaring machines have been completely redesigned to assure superior belt protection and to improve ergonomics and accessibility, especially in the infeed centring area. But the most significant new development is the introduction of numerical control on all the machine’s axes of movement. In the automated versions, all the motors are brushless and the movements can be controlled from the control panel via a touch screen.
