With the TRIMILL VF 4535, a large 5-axis portal milling machine with a fixed table has become part of their machine park. A project of this scale requires trust, technical alignment and close cooperation, and we truly appreciate the confidence Carstengerdes has placed in TRIMILL, a.s.

In their own words:

“An important milestone for our production: more performance, more precision, more possibilities.”

The configuration reflects the scale of the project:
• T30C 2-axis fork-type milling head for continuous milling
• 40 kW of power and 248 Nm of torque
• Maximum speed of 15,000 rpm
• HSK-A100 tool holder
• HEIDENHAIN TNC7 control system with a 24″ panel
• Vertical tool magazine with capacity for 40 + 100 tools

The VF 4535 is designed for 5-axis milling in positioning or simultaneous mode. With its fixed table, large travels and high machine weight, it is built for demanding machining tasks where dynamics, accuracy and process stability matter.

We appreciate the cooperation with Carstengerdes and wish their team successful production with the new machine. We hope this project will provide a strong basis for a good long term relationship.

In April, our Sales Director Pavel Holik and Application Technician Rostislav Kůra travelled to the United States for the handover of another TRIMILL machine to Votaw Precision Technologies in Santa Fe Springs, California.

A second machine is always a strong sign of trust. Votaw already uses our 5-axis VFC 3021, delivered in 2024, and this year we added a 5-axis VU 4525 with a combination of fixed and rotary toble to their production.

Each machine brings a different strength. The VFC 3021 has fixed table concept with high dynamics and precision built into UHPC concrete base of the machine. The newly delivered VU 4525 adds a larger working area and the advantages of a rotary table. Together, they give Votaw more flexibility for machining complex aerospace components.

During the visit, Pavel and Rostislav could also see TRIMILL technology directly in production. A special moment was learning more about components connected with the SpaceX rocket modules and Artemis program that are machined using TRIMILL technology.

Thank you to everyone at Votaw Precision Technologies for the warm welcome.

Wishing our employees, business partners, and all the organisations we work with a joyful Easter.

May spring bring fresh energy and new beginnings!

From civil works to first chips — the TRIMILL VM10035 with a 10 m X-axis is now fully operational at our customer Paragon D&E in the United States.

What starts as concrete, scaffolding, and a massive foundation can, within a few months, become a fully functional portal machining centre.

We are pleased to share the successful installation and commissioning of the TRIMILL VM10035 at Paragon D&E (USA).

Over approximately three months of intensive on-site assembly work, our mechanical and electrical teams transformed an empty foundation into a portal machining centre. In close cooperation with the customer, the machine was also integrated into the existing infrastructure — including the original side walls, new chip conveyors, and the filtration system.

The result is a highly customised portal machining centre with travels:

X = 10 m

Y = 3.5 m

Z = 1.5 m

For us, it means another red TRIMILL successfully machining in the USA. Thank you to the Paragon D&E team for the great cooperation throughout the entire installation.

As part of the YCM family, we at TRIMILL would like to wish all our colleagues, partners and customers a very happy Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse. 

The Fire Horse is often associated with energy, courage and forward momentum – qualities that resonate strongly with how we work together across Europe and Asia:

• pushing technology forward in portal milling,

• taking on demanding projects with confidence,

• and building long-term partnerships based on trust and reliability.

From Taiwan to the Czech Republic and to all our shared markets, we are grateful for the daily cooperation within the YCM Group – in development, production, service and sales. Every successful installation and every satisfied customer is the result of this joint effort.

In 2026, we want to continue:

• developing smarter, more flexible solutions for our customers,

• supporting each other across teams and time zones,

• and strengthening the TRIMILL & YCM brand as a symbol of quality and precision.

To everyone celebrating the Lunar New Year:

we wish you health, success and many new opportunities – in business and in life.

MAKE IT BETTER, TOGETHER

A satisfied customer returns.

In the case of LAGO Nástrojáreň in Slovakia, this is true twice – literally.

After the first machine, we have now delivered a second TRIMILL VFC 3021 portal machining centre into their production facility. A repeat installation is a clear confirmation for us that the customer is satisfied with the machine quality, the machining results and the level of service support.

The first VFC 3021 at LAGO is equipped with a U3C universal milling head, offering high flexibility for a wide range of toolmaking operations. For the second machine, the customer chose a T30C two-axis fork-type milling head, which extends the possibilities of five-axis machining of complex shapes and cavities.

We would like to thank LAGO Nástrojáreň for their trust and long-term cooperation.

We are pleased that TRIMILL machines can be part of their growth and demanding projects.

We wish all our colleagues and business partners a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year 2026, especially health and personal well-being.

We participated in BOOMBASTIC 2025 hosted by Titans of CNC and, together with the YCM Alliance, presented our 5-axis portal machining center TRIMILL VS 1614. We showcased a guitar-machining demo—a perfect illustration of rigidity thanks to the box-in-box gantry, thermo-symmetric guidance, and active thermal stabilization for highly precise one-and-done machining.

We were delighted by the interest from customers in the USA and Mexico—thank you to everyone who stopped by.

Thank you to our partners YCM Alliance and Titans of CNC for a superbly organized event.

Last week, we took part in the YCM/TRIMILL dealers’ meeting in Soltau, Germany, hosted by Hüttmann Werkzeugmaschinen. In their showroom, we presented the 5-axis portal milling machine TRIMILL VS 1614 with a tilting-rotary table and met with most of our European dealers. We thank our partners for the inspiring discussions and look forward to further cooperation.

We are proud to announce the successful installation of the seventh TRIMILL portal milling machine at our long-term customer, ŠKODA AUTO.

The newly delivered 5-axis VS 1614, in a striking yellow design, is equipped with:

• a tilting rotary table for 5-axis machining,

• a spindle with 18,000 rpm,

• a rack-type tool magazine for maximum flexibility and productivity.

This installation once again demonstrates ŠKODA AUTO’s trust in TRIMILL and our technology, delivering reliability, precision, and stability for the production of stamping tools and molds in the automotive industry.

Join us for an exclusive Technology Showcase! ✨

On September 25, 2025, we open the doors of the Hüttmann Showroom in Soltau, Germany (just 1 hour from EMO Hannover) for a unique event dedicated to high-performance machines and automation solutions.

✔ Live demonstrations & guided tours

✔ Direct talks with engineering and product experts

✔ Networking with industry professionals in a focused setting

We are looking forward to meet you there!
