Polymeca manufactures complex and high-precision parts in medium and large batch sizes. The focus is on stable series production processes, tight tolerances, automated processes and reproducible quality from the first to the last part.
The most important points
- Batch sizes from approximately 100 to approximately 5000 units
- Precision turning, precision milling and precision grinding
- 3-shift operation with multi-machine operation
- High degree of automation
This is how CNC series production works at Polymeca
CNC series production expertise at Polymeca
Polymeca manufactures precision parts in series of approximately 100 to 5000 units, depending on geometry, complexity and process. Production is based on high-precision CNC machines, experienced specialists, automated processes and clearly defined testing procedures.
The focus is on demanding turned, milled and ground parts with tight tolerances and recurring series requirements. Machining, measurement technology, surface finishing and assembly can be integrated into a seamless process chain.
Precision turning in series production
In precision turning, Polymeca manufactures series parts on INDEX turning and milling machining centres and SCHAUBLIN CNC precision lathes. Machining is carried out from bar stock up to 100 mm or in the chuck. Three-shift operation with multiple machines ensures high productivity and stable unit costs for recurring production runs.
Precision milling in series
In precision milling, Polymeca uses 5-axis machining centres from HERMLE and DMG as well as 5-axis milling machines from DMG. Automated machining and handling systems reduce non-productive time and increase usable machine uptime. Milling production is suitable for demanding components made from block material or cast blanks with high requirements for dimensional accuracy and process stability.
Precision grinding in series
In precision grinding, Polymeca manufactures high-precision series parts on CNC cylindrical grinding machines from STUDER, complemented by honing technology from SUNNEN. Automated robotic cells support stable processes and reproducible quality. The process is suitable for components with particularly tight tolerances, high surface quality and demanding functional surfaces.
Automation for cost-effective series production
Automation reduces downtime, stabilises processes and increases the availability of the systems. At Polymeca, this includes the use of bar feeders, robot-based loading and unloading, pallet changing systems and automated grinding cells. Process and machine data such as availability, utilisation and efficiency are collected and used for ongoing optimisation.
Quality assurance in series production
Polymeca oversees production runs from the first prototype to the final part using modern measurement technology. Climate-controlled measuring rooms, co-ordinate measuring machines, form, contour and roughness measurement, as well as automated series monitoring, ensure reliable test results. In-process inspections, documented measurement results and monitored measuring instruments create transparency regarding dimensional accuracy, geometry, surface quality and process capability.
