Mechanical machining
We carry out all main mechanical operations with numerical control technologies and machines that guarantee maximum precision and production speed
Our goal has always been to be the ideal partner in executing all kinds of mechanical processing. For this reason, the area dedicated to processes such as turning and milling is equipped with numerical control machines and high-tech equipment that guarantee quality, flexibility, speed and service completeness.
What does โmechanical machiningโ mean?
Mechanical machining refers to the manufacturing of metal components by expertly programming numerical control machinery, helping our expert carpenters maintain constant control throughout the entire production phase.
Our workshop
The mechanical processing department has 5 high-tech machines:
โข 3 CNC machining centers, with working ranges from 3 to 5 axis
โข 2 CNC lathes
The machinery is also supported by piece clamping systems and includes:
โข magnetic chucks
โข hydraulic vices
โข tilting table
โข turning table
โข dedicated equipment
Like almost the rest of our production, this division is furnished with the latest generation machinery connected directly to our management system.
In addition to analyzing the drawings before putting the components into production, these technologies allow our Technical Office to:
โข check the correct allowance
โข confirm the feasibility of the project
โข identify the preferential machine for the execution of the piece
โข check the availability of the necessary tools
โข run, if necessary, a CAD/CAM program that will be transferred directly onto the machine
Much of the mechanical work we carry out consists of the creation of assembly components and post-welding/ post-treatment assemblies.
We bring the majority of it to completion internally. However, part of our work concerns third-party pieces supplied directly by our Customers.
What does CNC mean?
The term CNC refers to machinery through which the manufacturing process occurs automatically and constantly controlled by a computer, i.e. in a programmed manner.
Programming using CNC technologies allows us to reduce the processing times and respond to the needs of mass production.
In conclusion, CNC machines guarantee:
โข high precision
โข process repeatability
โข process automation
โข speed of implementation
โข high level of productivity
โข minimal margin of error
What processes can Mecal perform?
The main mechanical processes we encounter in our work are turning and milling, which fall within the field of chip removal processes.
turning
Turning is the removal of shavings from a material and is executed by using a high-tech machine called lathe.
Through mechanical turning, we obtain particular pieces with precise finishes such as grooves, holes and threads.
Milling
Mechanical milling is one of the processes for chip removal through the use of machine tools called milling machines. Its principle is based on the rotary motion of the tool. This processing is carried out on the surfaces of the metallic components entrusted by our customers in order to obtain precise geometric pieces.
