Frequently Asked Questions
What does the manufacturing of metal parts in series involve?
The manufacturing of metal parts in series consists of producing large volumes of components following standardized technical specifications. This production model ensures uniformity, cost efficiency, and the ability to supply demanding industrial sectors.
What industrial processes are used in the manufacturing of metal parts in series?
At Lemec, two main processes are used: cold stamping, ideal for very large series with high repeatability, and turning (decoletage), aimed at short or medium series that require greater flexibility in geometries and operations. Both guarantee dimensional precision and high-quality finishes.
What competitive advantages does series production offer compared to unit production?
Series production reduces the cost per piece, increases productivity, and ensures consistency across each batch. It also allows for scheduled deliveries and the ability to meet the demands of sectors such as automotive, aerospace, hydraulics, and electronics, where supply reliability is critical.
What materials are most commonly used in the manufacturing of metal parts in series?
The most common materials include stainless steels, carbon steels, aluminum, brass, copper, bronze, and titanium. The choice depends on the final application, taking into account factors such as mechanical strength, weight, conductivity, or corrosion resistance.
How does a company like Lemec ensure quality in the manufacturing of metal parts in series?
Quality is ensured through a comprehensive system that covers drawing validation, raw material control, dimensional inspections, and compliance with international standards. This allows strict tolerances to be met and ensures the reliability of each metal component manufactured in series.
