Balacchi Srl, a leading manufacturer of precision machinery, faced the challenge of modernising its CNC controls in Italy in order to increase both productivity and machine precision. ProCom Automation took on this task and used its expertise to ensure a seamless transition from the outdated solution to the new one. The result exceeded all expectations.
The project began with a thorough analysis of Balacchi Srl’s existing insert cutter. Led by Anette Höchst, Head of Team Textile, the ProCom Automation team worked closely with Balacchi’s engineers to develop a customised solution. This solution was designed to increase the efficiency of the machine through its advanced features and configuration options.
Commissioning was characterised by the precise installation and configuration of ProCom’s state-of-the-art CNC300 controllers. Despite the complexity, ProCom Automation managed to get the entire system fully operational within a remarkably short time of one week. This rapid implementation not only minimised the effort for Balacchi and the working hours of Balacchi’s engineers, but also underlined ProCom Automation’s ability to deliver prompt and effective solutions.
This collaboration has resulted in Balacchi’s machines now operating with increased efficiency, precision and adaptability, setting a new standard in their industry. ProCom Automation’s role in this success story underscores its position as a reliable partner for companies seeking innovative automation solutions.

The CNC300’s unique ability to adapt individually to the specific requirements of different machines was once again demonstrated at Balacchi. This tailor-made integration not only optimises the machine’s performance, but also lays the foundation for future scalability and innovation.
„Mit unserer spezialisierten Schneidtechnologie bieten wir eine maßgeschneiderte Lösung, welche die Maschine nicht nur präzise, sondern auch extrem schnell werden lässt. Das verschafft unseren Kunden einen entscheidenden Wettbewerbsvorteil in ihrer Branche”
emphasises Anette Höchst.
The successful integration of the CNC300 at Balacchi highlights ProCom Automation’s dedication to providing specialised solutions tailored to the unique needs of its customers. Beyond simply implementing technology, ProCom Automation offered a comprehensive package that included training and support, enabling the Balacchi team to immediately leverage the enhanced capabilities.
