Ace Designers:
Maintaining leadership through
trust & technology excellence
in CNC Turning arena
Q. Ace Designers has gained substantial market share in the Indian machine
tool industry, please elucidate the success story of the company?
The seed of Ace Designers was sown when technocrats, Mr. Shrinivas G Shirgurkar
and Mr. Benedict Machado, inspired by the vision of their senior Colleague and mentor
Mr. A V Sathe decided to turn into entrepreneurs by starting Ace Designers in the
year 1979. With a humble beginning offering only design services, entered into
a manufacturing and with perseverance and passion for machine tools, today
Ace Designers Limited is the largest producer of CNC lathes in India. Along the
journey, different companies were floated, Ace Manufacturing Systems Limited
for Machining Centres, AMASL and Auto CNC for catering to the component
requirements, and MMT for taking care of the sales and service of the
product companies. Today the Ace Micromatic Group stands testimony
to the entrepreneurial spirit with its large domestic and international
presence with its products and services.
Q. What are the market prospects for the Ace
Designers products in India and How do you plan to
position these products?
Right from the beginning, we have had the right mix of high-
volume products and a complete basket of appropriate
products for multiple segments. Though we have built a
huge ecosystem to address large volume production
of standard configurations, equal flexibility has also
been built up to address low volume and special
requirements. We have always been very strong
in providing tooled-up solutions and some special
executions to cater to the changing needs of the
customers. The focus of new product introduction
had always been to fill up the gaps felt by the
customers in different market segments and also the
timely introduction of products to satisfy the perceived
product configuration and technology needs. We believe
that we can offer the complete range of products needed in
the market with both horizontal and vertical series of lathes.

With the development of the new 4-axis machine series, GROB provides the solution for the market demand for a
robust but also dynamic 4-axis horizontal machine. This series has been optimized for practically ideal static and
dynamic behavior with the aid of a multi-object simulation of the complete machine from the beginning, and will
perform with a high level of reliability, accuracy and dynamics in a highly competitive environment. The modular
configuration also allows the machines to be completely adapted to work with existing production systems, while
providing the freedom to break new ground.

TECH INNOVATION
Now With New Accessories –
Slimline AZM150 Solenoid Interlock
The DHS-150 door handle system is especially suited to heavy swing doors
ith the new practical DHS-
150 door handle system,
Wthe slimline AZM150
solenoid interlock from Schmersal is
now even easier to use. The ergonomic
DHS-150 avoids the need for a separate
door handle and is suitable for machine
enclosures or fencing and for all standard
aluminium profiles with a width of 40
mm. The robust door bolt is particularly
useful on heavy swing doors and in for
use in harsh environments.
One benefit of the new accessory is
that the actuator is pre-positioned by the
bolt in the DHS system, thus ensuring
its optimal insertion into the device. This
gives the system stability against lateral
forces. In the event of lateral forces on
interlocks that cannot be overcome,
the safety door will not be opened –
