HEIDENHAIN: We know the machines inside out

We understand our machines down to the last bolt. Our experts can diagnose issues, optimize drives, handle encoder systems, and are fully fluent in HEIDENHAIN controls. That’s why we’re an official contract partner – giving you access to in-depth, certified services.

This partnership means:

  • Fault detection and repair on machines with HEIDENHAIN control systems
  • Encoder system diagnostics
  • Cleaning and testing of HEIDENHAIN components
  • Drive optimization and performance tuning
  • Software and hardware upgrades
  • Fast solutions thanks to stocked standard components

A major milestone was our complete overhaul of a five-axis Alzmetall center and the first-ever implementation of the TNC7 system in the Czech Republic for HEIDENHAIN’s training center in Prague. This project helped secure our current certification as an official HEIDENHAIN partner.

HSD: Your spindles and components in good hands

HSD, the renowned Italian manufacturer of spindle units, rotary tables, and mechatronics, sought to expand its service network in Central Europe with reliable local partners. VOPSS became the primary representative for HSD in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

What this partnership brings you:

  • Sales representation: Full HSD product portfolio, with spindle units and spare parts in stock
  • Service capabilities: Certified to perform authorized HSD spindle servicing; equipped with proper tools, software, electronics, and configuration data
  • Direct support from HSD: Our repairs and settings are 100% manufacturer-compliant

With our local inventory and fast response, we reduce downtime – a crucial factor in spindle service.

KITAGAWA: Clamping technology without compromise

KITAGAWA is globally recognized for its rotary tilt tables, chucks, clamps, and actuators. Until recently, a qualified service and installation partner was missing in the Czech market – and we stepped in.

As a KITAGAWA partner, we provide:

  • Installation of clamping systems (chucks, actuators, rotary tables)
  • Maintenance and repair of clamping devices
  • Customer support not only in the Czech Republic but also in neighboring Bavaria

Thanks to our experience integrating these technologies with CNC control systems and our hands-on service knowledge, we deliver fast, qualified support.

Why choose VOPSS?

Because we understand both the machines and the technologies within.
Because we have a specialized team, in-house development, a strong service infrastructure, and direct technical support from manufacturers.
Because when we repair or install something, we know exactly what we’re doing – with full access to documentation, tools, and decades of experience.
Contract partnership isn’t just a logo.
It’s proof that manufacturers trust our people to deliver world-class service.

What does this mean for you?

  • Faster, more precise servicing of globally recognized components
  • Access to original parts and certified products
  • Technical assurance – equipment configured exactly to spec
  • Local support in Czech or Slovak, with no delays or language barriers
  • A partner who understands your needs and delivers comprehensive solutions

Our partnership with HEIDENHAIN, HSD, and KITAGAWA isn’t just symbolic. It confirms that when it comes to service, repair, automation, and development, VOPSS is among the best. And that we can help where it matters most – in real-world applications.
