Eine eingebauteAbsaugvorrichtung ergänztdiese Merkmale.All the accessories available onstandard table grinding machines are compatible with ECO C5001 simple or double stand-alone working places. An integrating vacuum system complete these features.equipped with a tool turret. All the accessories from standalone machines (skilled maid) are fully compatible. As alwayswith Crevoisier machines, work ergonomics is particularlywell done. In case of a necessary change for example, theconsumable is optimally reachable by the operator. The goalis always to simplify and ensure production.Flexibility at all levelsIn addition to combine elements with flexibility to create a tailoredmachine, the functioning of Crevoisier centers is in itselfa guarantee of flexibility. Parts gripping is ensured by a quickchange system and it is possible to pass from vacuum to aclamping gripper or a vise within seconds. A camera allowsuser to locate the positioning of parts and ensure their grips.Central fixation or HSK type tools are also quickly changed.The program realized in hidden time is loaded into the machinealso in a few seconds. Changes from one series to anotheris simple. Many customers realize series as small as afew hundred pieces Onboard calibration system guarantee tocontrol machining as time goes by and correct tools positionsor reshape grinding wheels to reset the production. Statisticaluse is of course possible. Development of custom machining and finishing centers seemsseemingly very simple. The cutomer wants to realize a part andthe company provides him a suitable machine. Mr Crevoisiersays: "We have developed a broad expertise in this area, butwe remain in our field of expertise that is micro-engineeringand micro technology". The company does not wish to develop"any machine" and it is perfectly understandable, because theconcept of quality and reliability must always be present. Toguarantee these, using standard elements is necessary.One of the largest machines developed in collaboration with thecustomer is designed to realize links of wristlets. This machineis coil feed. Two Fanuc digital controls are mounted in parallelto manage the 37 axes production. Programming is simplesince each working station is programmed independently.Universal robotThe palletizing and robotization unit developed by the companyis completely autonomous and can be linked to any machine.Mr Migy says: "We have developed a flexible and universalstandalone loading and unloading system. We use itourselves not only on our machines, for example in the showroom,but we also we install it on demand and according tothe series on our production machines (common machiningcenters findable on the market)". What is the importance ofthis area for the company? Mr Crevoisier says: "The split ofour turnover between fields varies widely depending on theyear. It is certain that this diversification enables us to betterabsorb short-term disabilities related to other areas while offeringmore to our customers". As we saw above, Crevoisier SA machines are developedto finely meet the requirements of different markets. Speakingabout Asia Mr Crevoisier says: "We work similarly for ourAsian customers and products that we have installed in thesecountries are tailored to local demand". The fact to serve thismarket has forced Crevoisier SA to surpass themselves withregard to quality and reliability of its machines. Indeed, aSwiss SME can simply not provide machines with random reliability.Mr Crevoisier adds: "When a machine is delivered inAsia, we must be certain that it will function flawlessly. Roundtripservice technicians are too expensive and customer witha breakdown is to avoid". This constraint linked to distancereflects immediately on Swiss and European customers sincethey benefit directly from this quality and reliability. 1992 Crevoisier SA machines) 2 expansion and renovation fullyachieved in 2007 system or CNC polishing The quality on each contact occasionIf we open the door of a machine, we are surprised by theimpression of rigidity and soundness, not that the openingis difficult, rather the contrary, the doors slid easily and theoverall impression is highly positive. Mr. Crevoisier says:"We produce 85% internally and we have a network of subcontractorsthat are a real partners. Our components arealways first quality. We really want that the Crevoisier SAquality can be felt at each contact with the company or itsproducts". Over quality might say some, but it is this quality,and this vision associated with innovation and the will to findsolutions that allow Crevoisier SA to spread out everywherein the world.Are you looking for finishing or polishing means perfectly adaptedto your needs?
