This range of capabilities consolidates us as a reference machining company in Spain.

With CNC technology geared to production, our CNC machining applications rely on CNC machining tools of high performance to reduce variability and cycle times.

CNC precision machining in critical components

We machine bodies, covers, impellers, and shafts for pumps and valves (including large format). When required, we achieve accuracy in CNC machining with tolerances of ±0.01 mm and finishes up to Ra 0.2 µm, ensuring functional fit (coaxiality, concentricity) and tightness.

Depending on geometry and material, we combine chip removal machining with turning and boring strategies. To sustain that precision, we combine rigid clamping, thermal stability, CAM optimization, and dedicated tools for SuperDuplex, Inconel® or Hastelloy®.

We have Trevisan centers (DS900, DS600, DS500, DS300, DS200), vertical lathes and milling/boring capacities (Zayer, Sacem, Tos Varnsdorf); thus, we handle large parts with repeatability and stability. The Trevisan machining center provides rigidity and productivity in large format. In addition, we are specialists in large-dimension valve machining.

TIG, MIG/MAG Automatic and PTA (Hardfacing) Welding

We use TIG, MIG, Automatic MIG and PTA for overlays that reinforce critical areas exposed to wear or corrosion. These processes allow us to recover seats, seals, or shafts with precision. After welding, we machine to final dimension and verify flatness, circularity, and tightness according to drawing and inspection plan. The result: longer service life and lower total cost compared to manufacturing a new part.

TIG welding is used in operations where controlling heat and penetration is essential, such as fine overlays or joints that will later be machined to tight tolerances.

The choice between TIG and MIG depends on geometry and tolerances. The differences between TIG and MIG welding determine the level of heat input and the risk of distortion. In demanding overlays, we apply Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) welding, which deposits wear- and corrosion-resistant alloys with precise dilution control, before final machining.

Advanced Metrology and Dimensional Control

Quality is built during the process, not at the end. We perform 100% dimensional control on critical diameters with high-precision probes and sensors, complemented by inspections with a 3D measuring arm and CMM. In our metrology room, we maintain a controlled temperature of ~20 °C to ensure measurement stability. When required, we apply non-destructive testing such as penetrant testing (PT), visual inspection (VT), or ultrasonic testing (UT), delivering measurement reports with full traceability linked to ERP.

Our Metrology Room integrates calibrated measuring instruments and applies types of non-destructive testing such as penetrant liquids when needed.

Sectors Where a Machining Company Makes the Difference

Each sector presents critical challenges where a machining company delivers added value through precision and reliability.

We work with industrial valves and pumps in demanding environments, adapting materials and controls depending on the sector.

Oil & Gas and Petrochemical

Components exposed to severe pressure and corrosion require robust processes: we apply corrosion-resistant overlays, followed by final machining and non-destructive testing to ensure tightness per ITP/tests and a low rework rate. Our expertise in high-accuracy machining for the Oil & Gas sector enables us to handle the most critical components of valves and pumps, including the machining of fittings in the oil and gas industry, which require tight tolerances and coatings to withstand severe conditions. We also work in petrochemical and offer machining and welding outsourcing in the Oil & Gas industry. In oil refining operations, dimensional control and NDTs reduce reprocessing.

Water Treatment and Desalination

We machine and weld valve bodies and bonnets, as well as pump casings and covers in stainless steels and superalloys exposed to saline environments and suspended solids. Precision in flanges and sealing surfaces prevents leaks and improves energy efficiency.

When a centrifugal pump operates with solids or salinity, we machine seats and flanges to ensure tightness and integrity of the assembly.

Our expertise in machining stainless steel valves and pumps guarantees reliable finishes in sealing surfaces exposed to highly corrosive environments.

Naval and Defense

We machine and weld shafts, bonnets, and bodies of valves and pumps for naval environments, where resistance to vibrations and marine corrosion is essential. We ensure tight tolerances and complete documentation, collaborating with OEMs and industrial partners to meet specifications and deadlines.

Cryogenics

In cryogenic applications, we machine and weld bodies, bonnets, casings, and impellers in special materials. These parts, subjected to extremely low temperatures, require micron-level tolerances, control of thermal contraction, and specific tightness tests.

Asimer Group’s Key Differentiators

KPIs That Matter: OTD, Quality in Criticals, and Lead Time

OTD (On-Time Delivery) is a priority KPI in our daily operations. We plan with buffers, manage bottlenecks, and provide milestone visibility to meet committed deadlines. We also track KPIs for quality in critical dimensions (PPM in key diameters) and lead time according to complexity and workload.

Industry 4.0, Traceability, and Documentation

Our machining processes are interconnected with the ERP system to achieve part-by-part traceability (routes, inspections, drawing versions, and releases). This visibility reduces risks and shortens approval cycles. We integrate Industry 4.0 to monitor milestones and ensure real-time traceability.

Flexibility: Prototypes, Short Runs, and Large Volumes

From single-unit parts to repeatable batches, we adapt tooling, cutting strategies, and controls to optimize total cost without losing precision. We deliver customized solutions when geometry or service requires it. We handle machining of small vs large series in industrial pumps and also in valves, maintaining repeatability and control in both cases to reduce costs and increase precision.

Sustainability and Total Cost

The combination of PTA overlays and precision machining allows us to recover and extend the service life of critical components, instead of replacing them with new parts. This way we reduce waste, lower material consumption, and optimize the total cost of ownership while supporting carbon footprint reduction in industrial pumps and valves.
