Core offering

PIBOMULTI designs and manufactures custom precision machining heads, including angular heads, multi-spindle heads, turret/revolver heads, speed multipliers, and a micro horological drilling module, alongside a complementary standard product catalog. The company also delivers precision subcontracting services from prototype to medium-series production using the same quality standards. All products integrate with major machine interfaces such as HSK, ISO, BT, CAT, VDI, and flanged connections.

Product overview

Pibomulti is a Swiss precision engineering company specializing in the design and manufacture of high-precision machining heads. The product portfolio centers on five core product lines: Angular Heads for angle redirection, Speed Multipliers for spindle speed enhancement, Multi-Spindle Heads for parallel machining, Revolver/Turret Heads for multi-station operations, and Watch Industry Micro Modules for horological applications. The company also offers precision subcontracting services and a complementary 5-axis machining center (PreciMill 5X) through its sister company Emissa. Products are available as standard offerings or customized solutions, with machine compatibility across HSK, ISO, BT, CAT, VDI, and flanged interfaces.
