To retain your competitive edge your equipment must keep pace with all the technological advancements that are constantly being made in the industry.  So when you have an older machine that’s sound but needs an upgrade Stanley Howard Euro are here to assist.  By rebuilding older machines and upgrading with the latest technology, you are saving time and money compared to the investment required in a new piece of equipment.
At Stanley Howard we strip the machine right down to basics, clean and paint it to the Customer’s RAL specification and replace or refurbish worn parts.  Working closly with NUM UK, we retrofit these machines with the NUM Axium control, digital motors and drives complete with a new control panel.
One of the benefits of working NUM UK is the superb software package NUMGear offering conversational control to create hobbing (grinding) cycles without the need for CNC programming skills.
We will refurbish and retrofit the customers own machine, locate a machine on the customers behalf or provide one from our stock of gear machines.

We are always looking for new developments and technological advancements that will benefit our customers.
For one of our customers we developed a torque motor design to replace the main spindle index gear drive with integral clamping system on a Koepfer 153 gear hobber.
The benefits being a direct motor drive providing accuracy, eliminates angular backlash and provides higher speeds

We are able to use this development on any spindle or table for any gear machine the customer requires.
