Today more than ever, the latest turning and milling equipment is essential for a sheet metal and precision engineering company that wants to be innovative and Industry 4.0-ready. The precision engineering sector in Italy is particularly large, involving thousands of companies in every sector, from metalworking to food and automotive.
Precision engineering moves fast. Each new development brings more improvements and advantages for companies in CNC precision engineering. A natural evolution, in companies like ours, is the development of multi-operation centres with milling and turning equipment and functional modules for specific production. All machining processes for a part (turning, drilling, threading, milling and hobbing, plus any grinding) take place in a single set-up.
Precision and complexity are what distinguish the final products of these companies. CNC operators are responsible for operations such as CNC turning, CNC milling and dimensional inspection, carried out with measuring instruments such as callipers and micrometers that are periodically calibrated.
The lathe and milling machine allow precise machining of metal and plastics. Only optimal cutting of steel and sheet metal, whose properties and machinability differ, and proper finishing and material removal from surfaces can be considered acceptable. Every finished part is checked by the quality department and delivered to the customer only after passing specific tests. Specific software allows all machining parameters to be set, carefully entered by qualified technicians. Precision engineering is therefore a sector where machine technology and human experience merge.
