Research & Development – Innovations in machining profiles and precision parts
Innovation drives the performance of Palumbo Industries
At Palumbo Industries, innovation is not limited to products : it concerns the processes, tools and methods that we use every day.
Chaque année, 5 % de notre chiffre d’affaires est consacré à la recherche et au développement, avec un objectif clair : repousser les limites de l’usinage de profilés et de précision.
Nous concevons nos propres procédés d’usinage, nos outils et nos dispositifs de contrôle automatisés, pour garantir productivité, précision et stabilité dimensionnelle, sur des volumes industriels.
Innovating is turning a technical constraint into a competitive advantage.
Palumbo Industries’s integrated design office
Notre bureau d’études pilote l’ensemble des projets de R&D :
- Custom process design from the preliminary project phase
- Digital simulation of machining conditions
- In-house industrialization with our workshop team
- Quality validation through scanning and CMM measurements
This integrated expertise enables agile co-conception with our customers : we develop solutions tailored to their mechanical, cost and time contraints.
Precision machiningPatented processes, developed in-house
Innovation at Palumbo also results in filed patents and customized machines :
- Development of mirror-polished milling processes for a perfect surface finish
- Design of an entirely integrated camera inspection machine
- Creation of machining processes with reinforced tolerances for structure components
Our engineers and technicians work closely together to design, test and industrialize these innovations, directly in our workshop in Vougy, Haute-Savoie.
Co-conception with customers
Because every industrial project is different, Palumbo Industries relies on collaborative R&D.
From the earliest stages of a project, our team work alongside customers to :
- define optimal geometries
- anticipate mechanical and thermal constraints
- reduce the material costs and the cycle time
- ensure quality from the design phase
This partnership-driven approach enables faster, more reliable and more robust developments.
Towards industry 5.0
Our design office works closely with production team to implement digital manufacturing tools :
- Real time monitoring of production means
- Machine data collection and analysis
- Predictive maintenance and automated workflows
- Interoperability with our ERP and with our customers through EDI and our patented Digital Solution.
These innovations enable Palumbo Industries to enhance precision, reactivity and sustainability, while saving resources and costs.
