History
2008 | With the TC 700 Loroch introduces a low-cost electronic gauge for measurement of HSS and carbide tipped circular saw blades. The 100th KSC machine is sold. |
2007 | Loroch offers KSC machines for the first time with a device for grinding of chip breaker grooves. Thus, the first time ever worldwide, a machine is presented with possibility of sharpening, re-toothing as well as fully automatic chamfering and that can grind chip breaker grooves. |
2006 | Loroch exhibits a prototype model of a low-cost CNC controlled band saw sharpening machine at Grindtec. In 2007 launch of the CNBS 80. In addition to CV and bimetal saw bands on this machine also carbide-tipped band saws can be sharpened. Integration into the Vollmer Group. |
