Facts about
KOCKUMS MASKIN

Customers choose KOCKUMS MASKIN when they need more than an individual machining operation.

As a long-term CNC machining partner for OEM customers, we combine:

• Specialist knowledge of grey iron and ductile iron machining
• Engineering support from design to serial production
• European sourcing of cast iron components
• Prototype and tooling capabilities
• CNC machining and integrated quality control
• Follow-up processing and ready-to-assemble delivery
• Structured quality, environmental and automotive management systems

The result is fewer handovers, clearer responsibility and a production solution focused on quality, delivery reliability and total cost of ownership.

KOCKUMS MASKIN manufactures precision-machined cast iron components and compound products in which castings form an integral part.

Components are supplied to OEMs and industrial manufacturers operating within areas such as:

• Commercial and passenger vehicles
• Construction equipment and material handling
• Industrial machinery and automation
• Hydraulics and transmission systems
• Energy and other demanding engineering applications

Our objective is to deliver components that meet the customer’s requirements for dimensional accuracy, functional performance, documentation and delivery reliability.

Explore the industries we serve

Yes. Cast iron CNC machining is one of KOCKUMS MASKIN’s core capabilities.

We machine grey iron and ductile iron components using modern CNC milling, turning and grinding processes. Our production setup supports prototypes, recurring batches and serial production.

Machining processes are developed around the individual component, including fixture design, tool selection, cycle-time optimisation and dimensional inspection. This helps customers achieve stable quality, predictable costs and repeatable production.

More about our CNC machining capabilities

KOCKUMS MASKIN primarily machines components manufactured from grey iron and ductile iron.

The material, casting method and machining process are selected according to the component’s functional requirements, geometry, tolerances and production volume.

Through BIRN Group and our wider European supplier network, we can support customers with sourcing, material selection and coordination between the foundry and machining processes.

Yes. KOCKUMS MASKIN acts as a cast iron component sourcing partner as well as a machining supplier.

Castings can be sourced through specialised foundries within BIRN Group or through qualified foundry partners elsewhere in Europe. We coordinate casting requirements, material specifications, quality documentation, logistics and machining.

For customers, this reduces the number of interfaces in the supply chain and creates clearer responsibility for the finished component.

More about sourcing cast iron components

Yes. We provide cast iron component design and engineering support from the early stages of a project.

Our specialists work with customer engineering teams to assess manufacturability, machining allowances, datum structures, tolerances, wall thicknesses and production requirements.

Early coordination between casting design and machining can reduce material consumption, simplify production and help prevent costly design changes later in the project.

More about design and construction support

Yes. KOCKUMS MASKIN provides cast iron prototype machining and supports customers from initial concept to production-ready component.

Prototype production can be used to verify geometry, tolerances, assembly conditions and functional performance before investing in serial-production equipment.

Because prototype development, tooling and serial machining can be coordinated by the same technical partner, customers benefit from a smoother and lower-risk transition to industrial production.

More about cast iron prototypes

Yes. We support the design and manufacture of pattern equipment, machining fixtures and production tooling.

Fixtures are developed according to the component geometry, machining sequence and quality requirements. The objective is to achieve secure positioning, repeatable machining and efficient production throughout the component’s lifecycle.

Integrating the casting, fixture and machining requirements also reduces technical handovers and supports stable serial production.

Measurement and quality control are integrated into the production process.

KOCKUMS MASKIN uses coordinate measuring machines, calibrated measuring equipment and structured inspection routines to verify dimensions, tolerances and process stability. Digital measurement data and statistical process control support systematic follow-up during production.

This provides customers with documented conformity, reduced process variation and confidence that machined components meet the agreed specifications.

More about measurement and quality control

Yes. KOCKUMS MASKIN can combine machining with relevant follow-up processing to deliver finished or ready-to-assemble components.

Depending on the product, this may include:

• Washing and cleaning

• Grinding and deburring

• Surface treatment through qualified partners

• Assembly of bearings, shafts or other components

• Final inspection and documentation

• Customer-specific packaging and logistics

Receiving a more complete component can reduce internal handling, shorten the customer’s production flow and simplify supplier management.
