Three new products by Crevoisier SA
If Crevoisier SA (Les Genevez, Switzerland) has grown through the concept of the small grinding, polishing and finishing table machine (a.k.a. the skilled maid or stand-alone machine) that adapts to the needs of users, it is pushing this concept far more that the company develops and produces machining and finishing machines as well as automation systems. But always, the need of the customer is at the heart of the development based on proven and interchangeable modules. If more than 5000 (...)

A dynamic solution...
Of course all the tools are being transformed by the typical phenomenon of wear, but lapping-tools offered by Animex are expandable to optimize the lapping process (and compensate wear). Built in two parts, the lap increases its size by the action of an inner cone. Mounted on a micrometric screw (accurate to micron therefore), this 2% cone allows to enlarge the lap diameter with a step of the size of two hundredths of a micron (0,00002 mm). But it is not only this incredible accuracy that (...)

Off the beaten track
Each year a large number of new products are launched on the machine tool market, but real innovative breaks are rare. One of the reasons for this relative reluctance to innovate is the difficulty of getting off the beaten track and reinventing the trade. Moreover, it is extremely expensive to develop a new machine. A manufacturer who can rely on tried and tested modules to create new solutions has an undeniable advantage. We met Mr Pierre Boschi, Director of Emissa S.A. in Le Locle (...)
