The Bar Turning Process in a Few Steps

Choice of raw material: Metal bars (steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminium…) or plastics.
Fixing the bar: The bar is securely clamped in a chuck.
Machining: Cutting tools (turning, milling, threading tools…) remove material to give the desired shape to the part.
Quality control: Each part is meticulously inspected to ensure its compliance with specifications.

The Advantages of Bar Turning

High precision: The parts obtained are of high dimensional and geometric precision.
Wide variety of materials: Bar turning can be applied to a wide range of materials.
Large-scale production: Bar turning machines allow for the production of large quantities of parts in short timeframes.
Flexibility: Bar turning adapts to the production of parts in medium or large series.

Bar turning is a profession of excellence that requires technical know-how and high precision. Thanks to this process, companies in the Arve Valley provide high-quality parts to many industrial sectors.
