Quality and precision taken to extremes

High demands are made on precision and quality in the machining production of many industries. But the watch industry takes it to extremes: Even the slightest neglectfulness and the tiniest visual irregularity can cause a rejection here.

Machining operations in the watch industry must prove their performance capability on a daily basis and for each individual part. A company that adheres to minimum dimension tolerances is not standing out from the crowd, but is merely meeting the basic requirements. Because with watches, particularly the visible surfaces, a visually appealing finish is a decisive factor. This can only be achieved with high-end machinery equipment which is made for this kind of precision and surface quality.

A new machine results in independence

With the acquisition of an EMCO MAXXturn 65, a Sinumerik-controlled turning center with a rod loader, the manufacturing company has become considerably more autonomous. Previously, Proart was dependent on the delivery of stamped blanks for the production of titanium watch casing elements.
