produce and produce again… always to a faultless
level of quality. The partnership mentioned earlier is
based on this parameter: the customer knows the
quality of the parts delivered is excellent when the
order is placed.
«For Essor, it is a point that needs analysing continuously.
Our parts are transported directly onto
assembly lines and we know that we simply have to
deliver top quality,» continues Marc Rossé.
Constraints also come from the change in materials.
Although the majority of parts were made in brass a
few years ago, this material only represents 20% of
machined parts at Essor today. Materials have
become tougher and more demanding for the
machine tools.
Tools wear down, so this is where tool wear management
makes all the difference. By using control data
concerning tool drift, it is easy to programme automatic
corrections in the NC. When every minute
counts, being able to let a machine work unsupervised
all night, for example, while being assured that
tool wear has been compensated for is one less thing
to worry about! Even if the Rossé brothers tell us
they are not kept awake at night, the entrepreneurs’
responsibility is a heavy charge to bear. So, thanks to
this device, Tornos can offer them extra “production
minutes”, but also more peace of mind, which is
maybe also an El Dorado!
