Turning Solutions
Listening
1. Listening
Trying to understand in depth what our customer needs is the most important thing for us to be able to offer the ideal solution. In fact, we believe that it is the most critical phase of the project and we dedicate our best efforts to defining a clear and consensual objective with our customer:
- Mix of parts to be processed and features
- Processes to be performed on these parts and frequencies.
- Critical aspects of the process and other secondary aspects.
- Desired balance of time-qualities-tool costs-production shifts-machine life.
- Operator qualification.
- Space limitations in facilities, foundations, smoke management, noise, etc.
- Investment capacity.
Proposal
2. Proposal
We look at each requirement in depth, we analyse alternatives, we discuss pros and cons ... until we design a solution that synthesises the answers to each need. This will be the time to propose a first solution to the client and open a dialogue until we reach the optimal contractual and operational architecture:
- Balanced machining processes.
- Selection of tools and costs.
- Design of PLC systems.
- Ideal machine layout.
- Installation requirements and other auxiliary elements.

Once the right turning solution has been made clear and agreed, our Mechanical Engineering Dept. develops the machine models and the corresponding assembly plans, in order for the customer to approve them. This will be the time when our expert engineering and production team carries out its work:
- Experienced partners for our cast and mechanically-welded parts (European suppliers only), closely monitored by demanding GURUTZPE professionals.
- We only include leading brands of commercial components.
- Expert and multidisciplinary assembly teams.
- Software programming customised to the customer’s needs.
- CE user and maintenance documentation, detailed and easy to use.
- Training provided by experienced engineers, with special empathy towards the future operators of the machine.

5. Operation
Once the machine is available in perfect working order, it is time to reach the required full production in the shortest possible time. GURUTZPE offers it knowledge and experience so that together with specific knowledge of the customer’s process on its products, the machine operators can quickly become independent and achieve the highest productivity levels:
- Training and production support in the first few working days.
- Support in the programming of machining of various parts.
- Spare parts management and preventive maintenance service.
- Online assistance with queries during the next few weeks.

Everything described above only makes sense if the expected production, quality and cost ratios are achieved. At GURUTZPE the customer’s Profit and Loss Account is important to us. We want it to quickly start to generate cash flow and for this to be maintained over time:
- Our machines are designed to have minimum maintenance costs. Our machine availability standards after one year are historically excellent.
- We have a wide stock of spare parts to minimise machine stoppages in the event of any problems.
- Our service team will attend to you in record time, whether by telephone, remote service or by visiting your facility in person.
- The service life of GURUTZPE machines is very long and can reach up to 40 years even when working in harsh conditions.
- This is why there is a substantial demand for second-hand GURUTZPE machines and their value is usually high compared to other similar machines on the market.
3. Solution
However, we know that however much care we have taken to listen to our customer’s requirements and have proposed the best solution, there are aspects that need to be refined in this critical phase of conceptualisation of the solution. To visualise these concepts, we prepare 3D models of the proposal, we simulate machining processes and show them on video, we can develop a ROI analysis, so that, in the dialogue with the customer, we agree on a solution that satisfies their quality, cost and deadline requirements.
