Metal shafts: LGC, precision parts manufacturer

Precision turning and machining: from raw material to the ideal precision shaft

‍

The manufacture of mechanical axles is based on machining processes by removing material, transforming a raw part into a metal shaft perfectly tailored to the required dimensions and specifications.

At LGC Industries, we specialise in several machining techniques, especially in traditional mechanical and CNC processes such as:

• Turning
• Milling
• Drilling
• Bar turning on cam-driven lathes

‍

‍

Bar turning: a tried and tested method for precision axles

‍

A key technique since the 18th century, mechanical bar turning on cam-driven lathes remains an essential process for manufacturing metal axles of exceptional precision. This approach, tried and tested over decades, can be suited to even the most demanding sectors, such as:

‍

• Aeronautics
• Automotive
• Electronics

‍

This process is an ideal solution for producing precision axles with complex geometries and high quality finishes.

‍

Long-standing expertise in shaft manufacturing

‍

For more than 90 years, LGC Industries has entrusted specialised mechanical equipment, such as cam-driven lathes and other traditional machines, with manufacturing our made-to-measure metal axles. Our know-how allows us to co-develop bespoke solutions with our customers - perfectly adapted to their needs, all while maintaining a constant focus on quality and precision.

Co-design and quality commitment

‍

At LGC Industries, co-designing is at the heart of what we do. Each project is unique, which is why we work closely with our customers to design tailor-made precision shafts, adapting to their requirements in terms of performance, dimensions and materials.

Our metal axles are manufactured according to the most stringent standards:

‍

• ISO 9001
• ISO 14001
• IATF 16949

‍

‍

A responsible approach

‍

In addition to our commitment to quality, we attach great importance to sustainability. We favour recyclable materials and implement practices aimed at reducing industrial waste.

With LGC Industries, you can be sure that you're getting mechanical axles that are reliable, sustainable and environmentally friendly, adapted to the requirements of even the most advanced sectors.
