It’s the little innovations which make the difference…
To discover how the Décovi company, based in Vicques (Switzerland), uses the new Applitec Cut-Line inserts, we set up a meeting with Clovis Chételat, head of bar turning at Décovi, and Pascal Kohler, Applitec’s technical manager. Just a few millimetres…The difference between a 1.6 mm insert and a 3.1 mm insert is not just 1.5 mm: multiplied by 200,000 workpieces, it adds up to 100 three-meter bars! With very costly materials such as titanium, at approximately 100 CHF per kg, the savings (…)
