Frequently asked questions about metal parts manufacturing
What does series manufacturing of metal parts involve?
Series manufacturing of metal parts involves producing large volumes of components according to standardized technical specifications. This production model guarantees uniformity, cost efficiency and the capacity to supply the supply chains of demanding industrial sectors.
What industrial processes are used in the series manufacturing of metal parts?
At Lemec, two processes are mainly used: cold heading, ideal for very long runs with high repeatability, and screw machining, aimed at short or medium runs that require greater flexibility in geometries and operations. Both ensure dimensional precision and quality finishes.
What competitive advantages does series production offer over unit production?
Series production reduces the cost per part, increases productivity and ensures the consistency of each batch. It also makes it possible to plan scheduled deliveries and respond to demand from sectors such as automotive, aeronautics, hydraulics and electronics, where supply reliability is critical.
What materials are most commonly used in the series manufacturing of metal parts?
The most common materials include stainless steel, carbon steel, 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 series manufacturing of metal parts?
Quality is ensured through a comprehensive system that covers drawing validation, raw material control, dimensional inspections and adherence to international standards. This makes it possible to meet strict tolerances and guarantee the reliability of every metal component manufactured in series.
