Weekends, seasons… and cast iron bases: time as a secret ingredient of CB FERRARI quality

What do weekends and seasons have to do with machine tools?

It may sound like a weird question, but the answer is actual very simple and conclusive: everything.

The weekends are the time of rest and recovery. The seasons are the passing of time that shapes and transforms.

And in the CB FERRARI world, time is an integral part of our excellence.

Our cast iron is solid, stable and long-lasting

The bases of our machine tools have always been made of cast iron. A material that guarantees stability, strength and precision, but which must also be treated with respect and patience.

Since producing our first machine in 1966, we at CB FERRARI have embraced a clear principle: never rush cast iron – give it the time it needs.

Natural or furnace stress relief? Always with care

Natural stress relief:

The castings rest for at least a year in the open air, so that the rain, sun, cold, heat, humidity and wind can act as invisible allies. The seasons thus become part of the production process, helping to stabilise the material in a spontaneous and deep-seated way.

Furnace stress relief:

For specific needs, we also use controlled thermal stress relief, bringing the castings to constant temperatures of between 500°C and 650°C for hours or days and cooling them according to defined curves.

Faster and more predictable, this technique requires sophisticated equipment but guarantees results of the highest level.

Time + Expertise = Uncompromising Quality

Choosing CB FERRARI means choosing a product that is created with conscious slowness and with dedication – and with an almost artisanal respect for the material.

A CB FERRARI machine is not just a means of production: it is a promise of durability, precision and reliability.

Yes, we take seasons to do it.

Yes, we take weekends.

But we do this to give you quality without compromise, today and for many years to come.
