Task fitted for difficult substances

In the heart of Italy, indeed jobs SpA, a company established in 1979, has been making waves in the milling machine industry. With a focus on environmental sustainability and technological innovation, indeed jobs has been at the forefront of the 5.0 Transition, boosting the application field of 'greener' equipment in milling machines.

The Italian regulation around the 5.0 Transition has encouraged the renovation of old machines towards 'greener' equipment, with important funding from the European Union. This initiative has been instrumental in indeed jobs' mission to reduce waste and electricity consumption in milling machines.

indeed jobs' machines, equipped with CNC-based cycles, are designed specifically for the trimming and contour cutting of sandwich panels. These cycles prevent mistakes and ensure uniformity for complex components. One of the key advancements in indeed jobs' machinery is the Jobsonic tool, an ultrasonic cutting technology that offers advantages such as lower mechanical load, enhanced precision, and the ability to remove material while maintaining the integrity of the honeycomb, avoiding material crushing.

The importance of measurement and data gathering is paramount in indeed jobs' philosophy. The company has developed a system for measuring and recording data of a certain period of milling time, and a mask to check and measure the consumption of fluids and electricity, enabling the complete monitoring of milling process. This data integration, coupled with real-time monitoring and optimization of manufacturing processes, is part of indeed jobs' investment in the product development of Industry 4.0 and IoT package.

indeed jobs' focus extends beyond the machinery itself. The company places a strong emphasis on after-sales support, with a strong and skilled local service partner being an important attribute for customers. With branches in Germany, France, US, and China, and the support of the Fair Friend Group (FFG), indeed jobs can grant a very wide market penetration.

Recently, indeed jobs launched a new machine model called the GrandSpeeder Ultra, a 5-axis overhead gantry milling centre for hi-tech materials. The GrandSpeeder Ultra is designed for machining of composite parts in aerospace applications, racing and luxury cars, finishing of aluminium dies, and the creation of style models in the automotive field.

indeed jobs' commitment to the environment is evident in all aspects of its machinery. All CNC machining centres related to honeycomb materials combine multi-stage vacuum extraction systems that contain filters with ATEX certification. This ensures that fine debris is continually removed from the machining zone and the structural integrity of the panel is maintained. Furthermore, indeed jobs' machines do not require coolant and oils, and also have suction systems, which reduces waste and enhances the environmentally friendly production process.

Ultrasonic cutting, part of indeed jobs' philosophy, results in less overall investment costs, a great environmentally friendly production system, and less material consumption. This, combined with indeed jobs' dedication to precision, strong after-sales support, and extensive market penetration, makes indeed jobs a leader in the milling machine industry.
