What manurhin k'mx does

Manurhin K'MX is a France-based manufacturer of CNC Swiss-type long turning lathes (tours de décolletage à commande numérique), headquartered in Burnhaupt-le-Haut and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Italian industrial group TAJMAC MTM since October 2004. The company designs and builds multi-axis automatic turning machines covering workpiece diameters from Ø2mm to Ø32mm, with a current product portfolio comprising the K'MX 413 (entry-level), K'MX 432 (longer parts), K'MX EVO (7-axis, Ø3–32mm), K'MX SWING (10-axis with up to 4 simultaneous tools), K'MX 732 EVO (heavy machining), and K'MX 820 CLEVER (oblique-bed, twin electrospindle). All machines are built around Fanuc CNC controls, oil-cooled electrospindles (up to 10.5 kW), and the proprietary K'MX PLUS software running on Windows, and are positioned for high-precision, high-throughput production of complex rotational parts used by precision engineering job shops in medical, automotive, hydraulics, and general industrial segments.

The business model is hardware-led capital-equipment sales with a recurring aftermarket tail. Manurhin K'MX sells machines through direct technical sales supported by a regional network of exclusive distributors and service partners operated by TAJMAC MTM group entities across France (TAJMAC FRANCE), Germany (TAJMAC DEUTSCHLAND GmbH), Italy (TAJMAC-MTM, Cinisello Balsamo), Benelux (MAKE! MACHINING TECHNOLOGY B.V., Netherlands), Czech Republic and Slovakia (TAJMAC-ZPS a.s.), the United States (ZPS-CNC USA Inc, Burlington, WI), and Russia (PUMORI-ENGINEERING Invest, Yekaterinburg). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated from machine sales, spare parts, and after-sales service and maintenance contracts on the installed base of more than 1,600 K'MX machines sold cumulatively since the system's introduction in 1987.

The company's competitive positioning rests on nearly a century of specialization in automatic lathes (since 1935), a documented track record of "world-premiere" innovations such as the first NC-controlled movable-spindle-stock lathe (Traminer, 1975) and the first double-spindle CNC lathe (K'MX Twin, 1994), and integration into a larger industrial group with cross-European distribution. It is privately held, with no public listing, no venture funding, and no disclosed revenue or headcount figures in the source material.

Core offering

Manurhin K'MX manufactures CNC Swiss-type long turning lathes (tours de décolletage à commande numérique) for precision machining of complex rotational parts from bar stock. The company designs and produces multi-axis CNC automatic lathes (4 to 10 linear axes) ranging from entry-level to advanced 10-axis machines, equipped with proprietary K'MX PLUS software, Fanuc numerical control systems, and oil-cooled electro-spindles. Alongside machine sales, the company provides spare parts and after-sales service and field maintenance for installed machines.

Product overview

Manurhin K'MX is a manufacturer of CNC automatic lathes (tours de décolletage à commande numérique) for precision machining of parts from bar stock. The product portfolio consists of four main CNC lathe models: K'MX 413 (entry-level for Ø2-16mm parts), K'MX 432 (for longer parts up to Ø32mm), K'MX EVO (7-axis machine for Ø3-32mm with simultaneous operations), and K'MX SWING (10-axis machine for Ø20-32mm with up to 4 simultaneous tools). All machines are equipped with Fanuc CNC control systems and are designed for high-precision Swiss-style turning applications across medical, automotive, and precision engineering industries.
