Gerardi-Alberti cooperation is the natural consequence of 2 companies which have the same philosophy and strategy.

Since 1986 the workholding accessories range has been completed with the range, still unmatched, of Angular Heads for traditional machines and machining centres and Driven Tools for CNC lathes designed and manufactured by the Alberti Co.

With this worldwide partnership Gerardi in few years, using its well known image and its selling channels together with huge marketing efforts, brought the production of such unknown products from few pieces to thousands and the Alberti technologies to be known and sold all over the world.

Such high performance Angular Heads, fit for milling, drilling and tapping have became internationally appreciated for their high quality and reliability together with their well balanced appearance and durable chrome finish.

They are ideal for any aerospace, automotive or other high precision application.

Main Features:

• high-horsepower;
• heavy duty grey cast iron bodies;
• 0 to 90° adjustable or right angle configuration;
• special 30°, 45° and 60° angle configuration;
• Multiple, high precision, preloaded, angular contact ball bearings to support each shaft;
• Solid one piece drive taper shank with the main shaft;
• Heat treated Gleason spiral bevel gears in a higher performance material.

Philosophy

To watch ahead, in order to anticipate the demands for the market, in order to offer to the customer the most advanced solutions, in order to earn every day competitiveness and profitability.

Innovation, in the materials, in the technologies, in the production processes.

Perfection and Creativity are at the base and the key of every new product.

Today the best markets for these products are U.S.A., Germany, Japan and England and the final users are the best known companies in their own sectors (Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Boeing).

In particular Alberti products have today reached so high performances and reliability which put the Co. at the world top position as regards both angular heads and driven tools. In fact both range of products are able not only to drill and tap, but also to mill!!!

With the same phylosopy now Gerardi offers a wide range of "Live" tools which are increasingly demanded to perform secondary operations such as milling drilling and tapping without additional parts handling on CNC lathes.

Particular attention is drawn to our adjustable "Live" heads whose design and technology is based on our performance proven machining centre Universal "TCU" angular heads.
