The Lambert-Wahli W100 is an eight-axis CNC fine pitch hobbing machine that has been designed for small motor applications, watch making, and micro-technical industries. The simple automation and electronic synchronized high-speed direct drives create great time savings in setup and changeover. The flexibility of this machine is further increased with the Bosch Rexroth IndraMotion MTX CNC control and an extremely user-friendly conversational programming package. The W100 has a maximum hob speed of 15,000 RPM, and it is rated for a maximum module of 0.6. Due to its flexibility, it is capable of loading and orientating a wide variety of work pieces up to a 40mm diameter (manual) or 20mm diameter (automatic). Plus, for 2007 the Lambert-Wahli W100 has a refreshed and modern design.

In addition, as of December 2006 Meyco Holding—the parent company of Monnier + Zahner AG—completed the purchase of Lambert-Wahli AG, a manufacturer of fine pitch gear hobbing and worm milling machines located in Safnern, Switzerland.
