On site machining up to 11 meters in diameter with Hermanos Alfaro
The company is pushing the boundaries of portable machining with its cutting-edge technology, which is capable of working on large structures on site. This achievement represents a new technical milestone for the industry.
On site machining of large components has advanced with the ability to perform precision machining of components up to 11 meters in diameter anywhere in the world. For 45 years, Hermanos Alfaro has developed and perfected its own machinery, which allows multiple machining operations (turning, milling, grinding, drilling, threading, etc.) to be performed on large structures without dismantling or moving the parts. This machinery maintains very demanding tolerances, even in complex industrial environments. This advance responds to the growing demand in the naval sector and industry in general, where parts and structures are constantly growing in size.
The combination of design, manufacturing, and continuous improvement of specific portable equipment enables work on flanges, stern tubes, struts, platforms, and other critical structures. This technology brings the precision of a CNC machining workshop to shipyards, sailing ships and customer facilities. The company's representatives will present the latest developments in these services at stand 2B18 at Navalia 2026.
