Machining centers - Versatility, accuracy, complex geometry

Multi-axis centers for the most demanding operations

At Palumbo Industries, multi-axis machining centers play a key role in the production of high-value-added parts.

They are able to perform in a few sequences complex operations such as :

• milling
• drilling
• tapping
• contouring
• secondary operations

Thanks to their mechanical rigidity, their thermal stability and their versatility, our machining centers ensure :

• a high machining precision
• une réduction des retouches manuelles
• impeccable surface finishes
• a high repeatability even for technical production runs

A patented mirror-polished milling process on aluminium

Palumbo Industries developed and patented a mirror-polished milling process on aluminium, for machining centers. This process is able to reach extremely high quality surfaces, with a reflectance rate over 80%, without any additional polishing operation.

This innovation ensures :

• an exceptional surface finish
• a perfect repeatability in mass production
• cost savings (no extra finishing)
• a mastered optical performance

Main application :

• Optical reflectors for LED modules of lighting systems

A quality control tailored to complex parts

An automated optical inspection

Parts from machining centers undergo reinforced controls :

• periodic dimensional measurements on the production line
• optical inspection adapted to the geometry
• surface scanning for surface defects
• final automated inspection and CMM measurement

This process guarantees the part compliance, even for complex geometries and for secondary operations.
