PROJECT TITLE: Lamborghini Reventon Project

DESCRIPTION

The details state the prestige and uniqueness more than any grandiloquent description may do. The construction of 4 discharges, alien to any geometry. From a block to create offsets and broken optical effects that emerge only in the overview of a single piece, now and forever.

PROJECT TITLE: Body pump turbo

DESCRIPTION

A high-tech pump body with extremely tight dimensional tolerance that would require 5 or 6 calls to different turning and milling centre that in Oms it finds a response in a single machine of extremely high technology.
This solution guarantees maximum precision of execution (see description Integrex GT), as well as economic efficiency on the product by about 12%. Smooth production of 12/18 pcs/day, guaranteed at 99% for the ability to simultaneously manage a 5-axis milling and 2 lathes.

PROJECT TITLE: TiMac

Tools and coatings for the machining of complex Ti-base parts for aeronautic applications and thin wall parts.

DESCRIPTION
The TiMac project addresses the manufacturing of high precision parts made of titanium.
The secong goal of the project is to conceive, design, develop and the industrial application of a new generation of high performance and durable tools for machining of titanium, specially for milling.
Especially the TIMac project aims at planning and developing prototypes equipment for the processing of high-precision titanium components in turbomolecular pumps sector.
There was the need to study and develop tools and equipment to implement and monitor the rotor of vacuum pumps with raw materials with much more performance than the current ones (titanium Ti 6.4 instead of aluminium.)

PROJECT TITLE: nanoDIAMOND

Innovative diamond cutting tools with nanolaminate binders for high-end components

DESCRIPTION

The main objective of this project is to replace the currently used binding materials (Co and Ni base) with plastic ceramic, nanometric or submicrometric bonding phases of diamond materials.
The new materials is able to work under considerably higher loads and at higher temperatures than the presently used PCD materials. The new technology proposed in the project also allow the possible elimination of cooling liquids, thus reducing industrial waste and machining costs by app. 15%.
The polycrystalline materials developed in the project is based on diamond with bonding phases, such as solids thermodynamically stable nanolaminates.
The new tools created in the project bring numerous advantages to the industrial machining processes.

PROJECT TITLE: Carter Harley Project

DESCRIPTION

In the wake of the tradition of a universal brand, a creation in pure Italian style, with the concept of design placed before precision to bring out the aesthetic side of the work of a cutter.

Main target was the realization of a design with high detail and accentuated relief, in such a way as to allow the recognition of the design also in side view.

A series of tests made it possible to achieve an unexceptionable final result.

Material:
Alloy Ergal 7075

Row weight:
about 1.5 kg

Finished weight:
about 450 g

PROJECT TITLE: Moto GP braking system

Material:
6082T6 Aluminum Alloy

Customer:
Brembo Racing

Part name:
Front Disc Bell

Application:
Brake system x Moto GP

Commitment:
Max flatness error within 0.05mm required

Lead Time:
12 working days

DESCRIPTION

The customer’s commitment was to maintain a flatness tolerance, with an error between 0.03 mm and 0.05 mm, compromised instead by tensioning and detensioning typical of the processing.
The process study carried out also involved the suppliers, in phases of theoretical analysis and experimental checks.
With the development of a balanced and balanced 6-point spindle, and with a “compensation” system for centrifugal force. The goal of reducing the strain on material fibers has been achieved.
The production verification has provided appreciable results, with an error between 0.02 and 0.03 mm.
In order to maintain tolerance even after the milling operation, MONO-CUT tools have been validated, with a less invasive impact on the fibers of material, thanks to specific sharpening angles.

PROJECT TITLE : Vortex Project

DESCRIPTION

The Turin Polytechnic as a client and a high-pressure reactor to be re-engineered. Interchangeable connection solutions with screw couplings and sealing oring, redesign and redistribution of high pressure gas flows with improved sealing and efficiency.

This system allowed the replacement of a single gas flow management valve, when it was necessary for research purposes, without having to resort to replacing the entire high pressure gas ignition system, offering considerable savings both in terms of economic and temporal terms.

PROJECT TITLE: Molybdenum Project

DESCRIPTION

The construction of a mold made of 99% molybdenum material
For the purpose of a research, it was necessary to recreate some details in Molybdenum 99%, the previous details were made of carbon, but the residues left during the process, made the detectable data useless.

Given the critical nature of the application and the materials associated with it, the materials science and chemistry department decided to try a challenge that has never been tried before: perform precision mechanical machining on a 99% Molybdenum alloy, working in all probability never tried until now. A challenge never before attempted. A process that only WHO can try to make feasible.

Explore and highlight the potential of the Moro Seiki NMV5000

Lead Time:

DESCRIPTION

Some data to frame the challenge undertaken and completed.
Raw material weight: 11.6 Kg.
Weight of the finished piece: 1.9Kg.
High speed processing time: 29h 15min.
Machining with hemispherical cutter diam 3mm. 3D machining with milling cutter, minimum diameter 2 mm.
CNC program execution planning: Mastercam X5.
The Cnc program of 5-axis finishing only takes up 235 Mbytes. If you put all the characters in a row, you would get a 220 km long line

The customer has launched the challenge of creating a demonstration of the potential of the Mori Seiki NMV5000 machine, which was different from the usual turbine wheel, visible in all the trade fairs.
We accepted the challenge by making all our know-how available and realizing the prototype shown in the photo in record time.

PROJECT TITLE: Molecular turbo pump rotor

Material:
Avional League 2014 t6

Customer:
Agilent Technologies

Part name:
Turbo Rotor

Application:
Molecular turbo pump rotor

Commitment:
Parallelism turbine-concentricity fins between stem and fins

Lead Time:
12 working days

DESCRIPTION

The reduced thickness of the rotor fins makes it impossible to maintain the perpendicularity tolerance with the axis of the rotor shank, within the limit of 0.03mm.
The causes are the excessive thermal load on the fins during the CNC turning phase, and the excessive friction generated by the cutting tool.
The process study therefore hypothesizes the creation from scratch of a PCD tool (polycrystalline diamond), with cutting and rake angles functional to reduce the thermal load and friction. At the CNC turning center a hydraulic system is installed for high-pressure coolant at about 15 bar.
The collaboration with the supplier, has produced an original tool, on our design, thanks to which the error, of perpendicularity, has been reduced to 0.015 / 0.020mm.

PROJECT TITLE: Filtration systems for cutting liquids

Material:
Stainless steels of the AISI 303, 304, 316, 416 L series

Customer:
Collaboration with Ridix Oms

Part name:
Ridix Bypass filter type R1

Application:
Filtration systems for cutting liquids

Commitment:
Optimize the filtering of liquids contaminated by metal particles

Lead Time:
30 days

DESCRIPTION

There was a need to improve the efficiency of the filtration solutions offered by the tool and machine manufacturers, while at the same time reducing costs.  The heart of the solution goes to placing the filtering group near the machines to operate in bypass mode, at a continuous cycle with the same machine. The cartridge system can be configured with different solutions according to the machines, and can filter up particles of 3 microns.  The flexibility of implementation, depending on the work centre, the closeness of the filtering and the operability in bypass mode, which reduces the volume of liquid that cannot be reused, have allowed us to reasonably reduced the costs of this stage of work.
