NEWEN® TESTIMONIALS  
"The competition engine arena in which we operate is one in which research and development never stops. our EPOC™ gives us the flexibility to move from concept to prototype to test and production in moments rather than days or weeks with our previous equipment.

Combined with the accuracy and speed of the machine, we are realizing a true competitive advantage."

"In the never ending race or horsepower in our V8 engines, we have found our new EPOC™ machine from NEWEN has improved our ability to produce the results we require.

The capacity to reproduce what we require quickly and accurately has been a benefit to our output as well as the quality of the cylinder head."

"Just like touch base on my EPOC™ & its performance, I am only a small jobbing shop into my twentieth year in the industry & have brought various machines over that period, I would have to say it has been so far the best investment my company has made, it really has made my life easier as far as getting the job done right the first time, coming from a Serdi 100 it was a huge, not only did I work long shifts to get the job finished I found myself completing most of the jobs simply because it was difficult to constantly get a good seat, since I have had the EPOC™ it has all changed I rarely work late, getting through all my work easily, its versatility & accuracy are outstanding, weather I am working a small single cyl head, multi valve head or heavy diesel head, the seats are always superb, training my employees how to operate it was easy, they love it & I don’t have to watch over them to be sure they are doing a good job, it is that good."

"The EPOC™ delivers on all its promises. It is a precision seat cutting machine that allows you to cut any seat configuration that you want... This machine doesn't care if there are 2 or 3 or even 5 seats per cylinder. It handles all of them beautifully... We are glad that we have purchased this machine from NEWEN. NEWEN has been very helpful. The customer service and tech support has been great..."

"When I first saw an EPOC™ machine in action, I was impressed, but skeptical about the design of this new machine. Having a fifteen year background in the tool and die industry, I have built or repaired lots of complex machinery. I can say that I have an eye for a well designed, well built piece. It was hard for me to believe that so many moving parts in the spindle could be controlled rigidly and accurately. Then I realized, if this machine could machine a profile at almost unheard of RPM’s without chatter then it would have to be incredibly accurate. As far as rigidity, the concept of using a single point tool means less tool pressure, so rigidity is not a problem.

Also, I don’t have to wait to have complex form cutters made, which are expensive and have to be sharpened often. With this machine, any profile imaginable is available at your fingertips, I can now cut a complex valve seat profile removing as little as .002” with little or no blending. Now valve job takes 20 minutes where it used to take hours. It also helps to be able to try something new on the screen without trial and error on the actual work.

I would highly recommend this machine for anyone in the industry."

"My small company has been at the leading edge of cylinder head design since 1974. Over the years, I’ve tried to stay ahead of the competition in both engineering and equipment technologies.

The NEWEN FIXED-TURNING machinery has always attracted my attention, however, I’m 60 years old, and the thought of a “runaway” computer-controlled machine destroying a valuable cylinder head has always made the choice a “human-controlled” machine an easy one when I’ve purchased new equipment. If something went wrong, I could always blame myself…

A little over a year ago, my latest acquisition (a Serdi 4.0) began having centering problems and their technicians couldn’t find a solution to the problems (and still haven’t).

I was faced with either finding a machine that could hold the tolerances I require (on our Honda racing heads), or closing my doors. I was desperate, and the only choice left was that scary NEWEN CONTOUR-BB™.

We received the machine in one week, and a NEWEN employee spent 4-days training the three of us (myself and two employees), and our business has been flourishing ever since.

The NEWEN has reduced the time of doing valve seats from 4-hours to 30 minutes, and the quality of the seats (concentricity and surface finish) is in a league all it’s own compared to machines using traditional form cutters.

Our NEWEN is in large part responsible for us receiving a contract to do all the race heads for Honda Research and Development. In our first program, we were able to test over two hundred different seat configurations in a three-day time period. The unique designs we developed netted 58HP over anything the Honda engineers had ever seen, and the two otherwise stock engines we prepared for them finished 1st and 2nd in the season-opening Grand-Am event at Daytona. In fact, the two cars finished a lap ahead of the 3rd place entry!

Most recently, we have also been hired by Mazda to prepare heads for their sponsored entries in several road racing series, and we’re also handling development of a new 1.6 liter road racing power plant for North American Honda.

I do not believe that that we could have accomplished any of this without the NEWEN CONTOUR.

Despite my fear of computers, I’ve found that programming complex valve seat designs is extremely fast and easy with NEWEN’s user-friendly software, and the machine’s so easy to use that my least-experienced employee is the one who gets the call to do most of the valve seats.

The NEWEN has transformed my business from what was essentially a hobby shop to one where we are booked solid with work on a continuous basis.

My only regret today is that I didn’t buy one of these machines several years earlier."

"CF TECHNIEK BV - KRABBENDIJKE - HOLLAND was the principal ordering to produce the NEWEN "Custom EPOC™ 3 Axis Single Point Valve Seat and Guide Machine, the XL model".

We must say this has been succeeded to our entire satisfaction also because of the inventiveness of NEWEN!

The technical staff of NEWEN did give their complete commitment to produce and create the most ultimate solution.

Of course, CF TECHNIEK is the first user of this machine!

Mainly we use this machine for 4 stroke main & auxiliary marine engines.

We must say the NEWEN Machine works very precisely and fast!

A very precise expert who works with these very advanced machines could achieve a lot in machining the pockets and also the seats!

Resulting: CF TECHNIEK is very satisfied with these machines!"

"Die CONTOUR-BB™ wird bei uns mit großem Erfolg eingesetzt. Die Schwerpunkte sind Instandsetzung/Regenerierung von ZK nach OEM Vorgaben, sowie hochwertiges Tuning bzw. Motorsport- Applikationen. Natürlich führen wir auch Arbeiten zur Förderung der Gastauglichkeit durch. Der Erfolg dieser Technologie ist für ein Unternehmen aber in besonders hohen Maße an das Fachpersonal gebunden, welches mit der Bedienung anvertraut ist. Für mein Unternehmen ist dieser Aspekt durch meine Person abgedeckt. Ich verfüge über Erfahrung in der Anwendung CNC- gesteuerter Werkzeugmaschinen seit 1990. Mit der Newen bin ich sehr zufrieden. Voraussetzung sind entsprechende Strukturen und eine modere Ausrichtung."
