The Govro-Nelson Company is located in St. Clair Michigan,
north of metropolitan Detroit along the St. Clair River. Over three generations,
the company evolved from manufacturers of precision aircraft parts
and prototype work, to developing uniquely-designed drill units featuring concentric construction. A philosophy of continuous improvement, together with
years of experience account for the fact Govro now has thousands of units
in the field that have been operating 24/7 for decades.
In 1962, Govro Nelson moved into the rotary transfer
business with the production and sale of the first vertical indexing
machine. For
manufacturers of high production parts rotary transfer technology
improves quality, increases production and cuts labor costs dramatically.
This business is still going strong at Govro because the modular design
of Govro high production machines allow for flexibility and easy reconfiguration
for changes in future applications. Govro machines can be easily adapted
as the customer’s needs evolve and grow.

The Govro Difference
Govro automatic drilling and tapping
units have a unique design featuring concentric construction,
with air thrust, hydraulic feed control and positive stop -- all
on the spindle centerline. This unique ‘concentric design’ eliminates
quill deflection inherent to off-set feed systems and provides
longer tool life necessary for continuous production and minimum
maintenance. In addition, axial backlash is eliminated, preventing ‘drill
drive’ at breakthrough, which may occur in mechanical drive
systems. The unique Govro design, with no off-center operating
forces, is essential for high production, high-quality finished
parts. Govro machine reliability is well documented. Govro customers
have units currently in production for over 30 years, logging
millions of operations. |
