MACHINING CENTERS
Arrived at the time of the beginnings of data processing, digital machines have many advantages. Once programmed, they can work autonomously and sometimes even without any personnel. They are also able to control themselves and to stop by themselves after the breakage of a tool for example. Very often, only the wear of the tool does not allow the digital machine to continue its work alone. They have brought a lot of progress to the watchmaking industry and allow to free up some of the personnel for other tasks.
CNC
CNC is the acronym for “computer numeric control” and is similar to a multi-axis computer controlled lathe.
ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINE
An electrical discharge machine allows the machining of conductive metal parts because it uses electricity to machine its parts. It has the advantage of being able to machine several dozen parts one on top of the other and thus be very efficient.
