Experimenting
New Methods of
Application
Big
Pieces
Subcontractor
workshops for
machining large
parts continue to
be key customers
for Nicolás Correa.
The company
offers you the
widest range of
milling machines
and heads on
the market. An
automatic head
change system
that uses the
same interface on
all the machines,
guaranteeing
maximum flexibility
to be able to attack
a wide variety of
pieces. Robust
heads, designed
to work in difficult
conditions, hard
materials, long
tools, difficult
accessibility.

Throttle
The company
has extensive
experience in
machining parts for
the railway sector,
both in terms of
rolling structure
and road structure.
Due to its relevance
in a sector of great
strategic importance,
it is worth
mentioning the
Group’s relationship
with Bombardier
Transportation, a
railway equipment
manufacturing
company that has
installed a FOX
milling machine and
two FOX M milling
machines in the
Czech Republic.
Bogies, chassis,
engine blocks,
needle changes,
are some of its
applications.
Gas
and Oil
A
nother of
the strategic
sectors in which
Nicolás Correa
has specialised
in recent years
is the machining
of the main large
components in the
Oil & Gas sector.
Correa milling
machines have
different machine
architectures
perfectly adapted
to address
applications for the
oil and gas industry
such as stabilizers
(Stabilizer), roller
reamers (Roller
Reamer) and fluid
distributors (Fluid
End).
The milling machines
that are manufactured
today at Nicolás Correa
are machines that meet
demanding quality and
productivity parameters,
highly digitised, connected
and with a high degree
of robotisation and
automation. The Correa
4.0 concept is related to
requirements such as 5G,
connectivity, robotics and
virtual reality, and the
company’s main efforts are
focused on customisation
and the incorporation of
greater added value to
machines with a complex
weight technology that are
designed and manufactured
according to the specific
demands of each client.
Thus, the company
continues to experiment
with new avenues of
application. Machines with
the Burgos seal have been
used to make a series of
pieces of ITER, the preindustrial
fusion reactor
that an international
consortium is building
in the south of France
(near Marseille). And the
company has also taken
part in the construction
of the largest machine in
the world, the particle
accelerator of the European
Centre for Nuclear
Research (CERN), located
in Switzerland, whose
managers announced in
2012 the discovery of the
Higgs Boson. The company
is also going to install a
large machining centre in
Navantia to manufacture
the engine blocks for its
new frigate.
