UMBRAGROUP and Meccanica Nova

A solid and long‑lasting partnership

The collaboration between UMBRAGROUP and Meccanica Nova represents a structured and reliable partnership, built over more than forty years through a journey of shared growth. The first contact originated from UMBRAGROUP’s need to optimize the grinding processes of bearing rings, thus initiating a technical relationship that has evolved and strengthened over time.

Evolution toward joint innovation

Over the years, the collaboration has transformed into a path focused on developing high‑performance solutions, bringing together complementary expertise and a shared strategic vision. This approach has enabled the two companies to face new market challenges with advanced technologies and tangible results.

Shared values and commitment to quality

From the very beginning, the partnership has been grounded in shared values, a converging vision, and a strong focus on quality. This alignment has fostered a collaborative model based on mutual supply, co‑development, and continuous research, with the goal of delivering reliable, high‑performing, and technologically advanced motion solutions.

Continuous experimentation and new technologies

Today, the collaboration is stronger than ever, thanks especially to constant dialogue and the joint testing of increasingly advanced technologies. A significant example is the new Highper screw family, designed, developed, and manufactured by UMBRAGROUP and supplied to Meccanica Nova to deliver superior performance in high‑smoothness applications.

This family of high‑performance screws, unveiled at the EMO 2025 trade fair, was created to meet the demands of a market seeking extremely high‑performance solutions and with the goal of supporting partners and customers in developing increasingly innovative and high‑performing systems.

The engineering of the range is based on tangible improvements in efficiency, smoothness, and precision:

• Significant reduction of starting torque, thanks to optimized thread profiles and design solutions derived from advanced analysis.
• Lower vibrations and noise, essential for high‑end machine tools and high‑precision grinding applications.
• Increased overall efficiency, achieved through advanced processes such as lapping and polishing to reduce thread roughness.
• Greater structural stiffness, directly impacting positioning quality and dynamic stability.

Two dedicated application families:

• High‑speed screws with long lead (20–40 mm) and double start, ideal for rapid reversals and smooth movements;
• Precision grinding screws with short lead (5–10 mm) and single start, designed to minimize vibrations and surface defects on the workpiece.

These solutions stem from a dedicated development plan including improvements in design, engineering, production processes, and final inspections, introducing increasingly advanced technologies.

A shared path oriented toward the future

The relationship between UMBRAGROUP and Meccanica Nova goes far beyond commercial cooperation: it represents a path rooted in trust, continuity, and a shared vision for the future. It is thanks to partnerships like this that it becomes possible to develop motion solutions that are increasingly sustainable, safe, and reliable, contributing to the technological growth of the sector and the success of customers.

Within this framework, Meccanica Nova chooses UMBRAGROUP motion solutions to further strengthen its competitiveness, enhance the performance of its systems, and consolidate its position in a constantly evolving market.
