      Precision turning and machining: from the raw material to the ideal mechanical axis

      The manufacture ofmechanical axes is based on machining processes by removing material, transforming a raw part into a metal shaft perfectly adapted to the required dimensions and specifications.

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

      • The shooting
      • Milling
      • The drilling
      • The screw-cutting carried out on Cam towers

      Bar turning: a proven method for precision axes

      A key technique since the 18th century, mechanical bar turning on Cam towers remains an essential process for manufacturing metal axles of exceptional precision. This approach, proven and optimized over the decades, makes it possible to meet the needs of the most demanding sectors, such as:

      • Aeronautics
      • The automobile
      • Electronics

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

      Historical expertise in the manufacture of metal axles

      For more than 90 years, LGC Industries has relied on specialized mechanical equipment, such as Cam towers and other traditional machines, to manufacture metal axles bespoke. Our know-how allows us to co-develop with our customers solutions that are perfectly adapted to their needs, with constant attention paid to quality and precision.

      Facilities dedicated to the production of metal axles

      To meet the most demanding requests, our industrial park is equipped with mechanical and specialized machines, including in particular:

      • Of Cam towers efficient
      • Grinding machines for perfect finishes
      • Fluting machines for specific shapes
      • Equipment for assembly and quality control

      Co-design and quality commitment

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

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

      • ISO 9001
      • ISO 14001
      • IATF 16948

      A responsible approach

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

      With LGC Industries, you can be sure of receiving mechanical axes reliable, sustainable and environmentally friendly, adapted to the requirements of the most advanced sectors.
