Machine modernization - Import export

With our comprehensive and modern machine fleet (numerically-controlled machining centres, lathes and milling machines), we oversee the quality processes and manufacturing deadlines for the metal and plastic components of the equipment we design. With this know-how and the immediate availability of our machining equipment, we offer a proactive and flexible service which is invaluable for our customers. We can therefore provide a rapid response to any machining enquiries and adapt to any unexpected changes made during projects. However, our key asset is the proximity of our manufacturing workshop to our Design Office, which facilitates the sharing of skills and the optimisation of components. This high-level of reactivity and flexibility also means that we can quickly respond to requests for replacement parts or repairs in case of unexpected breakdowns.

This modern machining technology offers a host of advantages over more conventional processes. STEEC makes available to its customers its know-how in micro drilling by spark erosion. The principle of this machining process is the same as for wire spark erosion, except that the tool used for cutting is no longer a wire but an electrode shaped according to the precision machining require. The part and the tool (electrode) are not therefore in contact with each other, in fact it is an electric arc formed between the electrode and the part that will machine the latter. This is also called sparking. The part must be necessarily be conducting to be able to be machined by this method and it is prerequisite for using this method. This absence of contact between the tool and the part makes it possible to machine very hard materials such as titanium for example.
