Renowned design, manufacturing & improvement methods
Our customers and their application cases
Today, let's produce your fastener for tomorrow
Every step of the way, from design to mass production
1
Co-design & development
Our design department’s engineers will help you determine your project’s specifications and technical requirements.
Feasability study via the FMECA method (Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis), allowing us to analyse failure modes, their consequences and their criticality.
2
Prototyping & tests
Once the concept has been validated, our development team will make prototypes with the help of 3D printers and software such as SolidWorks Premium and Spacerclaim.
Producing medium-sized sample runs and validating the product in line with the PPAP process and IATF 16949 standard.
3
Industrialisation & production
Manufacturing does not begin until a production monitoring plan is approved by a multidisciplinary team dedicated to the project.
Development of detailed production processes via the APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) framework.
4
Assessment & improvement
After three to six months of mass production, the project will be assessed for 100% compliance according to criteria laid out by the IATF 16949 standard.
Collecting and analysing production data in order to pinpoint trends and variations. 3PPM in 2023.

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

The manufacture of mechanical pins is based on machining processes by removing material, transforming a raw part into a pin (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 towers

Bar turning: a tried and tested method for precision pins

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

  • Aeronautics
  • Cars
  • Electronics

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

Historical expertise in pins manufacturing

For more than 90 years, LGC Industries has entrusted specialised mechanical equipment, such as cam towers and other traditional machines, with manufacturing our made-to-measure metal pins. 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.

Facilities dedicated to the production of metal pins

To meet even the most demanding requests, our factories are equipped with mechanical and specialised machines, including:

  • High-quality cam towers
  • Grinding machines for perfect finishes
  • Grooving machines for specific shapes
  • Equipment for assembly and quality control

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 pins, adapting to their requirements in terms of performance, dimensions and materials.

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

  • ISO 9001
  • ISO 14001
  • IATF 16948

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 pins that are reliable, sustainable and environmentally friendly, adapted to the requirements of even the most advanced sectors.
