Markets
Micromachining:
The critical dimensions of the parts that we machine by our 5 processes (wire cutting, EDM die sinking, micro-milling, micro-drilling, tool polishing and laser cutting) are within 20 or 30 microns, which allows us to produce components of less than 0.001 grams.
Watchmaking:
Machining of middle, dial, appliqués, sconce, spring, wheel, cam, gold part, platinum part, production of stamps,dies, tools for polishing, hairspring winding.
Jewellery-making:
Master for lost wax casting, machining and cutting of mounted parts.
Cosmetics industry:
Plastic injection mould, stamping tool, mirror finish, cutting, engraving.
Health care industry:
Needle tip machining, gas mixers, shape memory metal machining, special parts in stainless steel, cobalt-chromium, titanium, Nitinol, gold, platinum.
Special materials:
Day-to-day machining of tungsten carbide and Inconel, Hastelloy, Rhenimun, cobaltchromium, titanium, Nitinol, Tantalum, molybdenum, silicon carbide, titanium nitride, silicon and ceramic.
Aeronautics and space:
Actuating cams for control systems, standard micro-defects
Armament :
Jet fighter small parts, submarine hydraulic control, nozzles.
Electronics:
Pilot production of sheet metal elements, progressive die, more than 1,500,000 steel balls drilling for fibre-optic connectors.
Automotive industry:
Spline for Formula one, fine cutting tools.
Steam turbines and gas turbines:
- Machining of diaphragms and jet nozzles from a solid part
- Drilling and machining of nozzless and diffusers
Standard artificial defects:
Machining of artificial defects on customer parts in the field of aeronautics, aerospace, ball bearings, nuclear energy, rolled, forged, turned, ground metal…
These artificial defects often consist of fine notches, flat bottom holes, V-shaped slits, abraded surfaces…
These defects are used as a standard for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) to use eddy current probes and ultrasonic testing.
The standard tubes, standard wedges, standard plates, standard welds… made, allow to calibrate the probes and also to detect and quantify cracks, corrosion zones, porosity, heterogeneous zones on the real production parts.
