Precision engineering excellence: a deep dive into Italy's turned parts

image

Italy, a country that fascinates us all. It has its influence in every field: everyone loves Italian cuisine, fashion, cars, cities, music, and more. Its success is also shown in the engineering industry, especially regarding precision engineering in the turned parts manufacturing sector. So, stay with us and learn everything you need to know!


Excellence from the start

Italian precision engineering excellence didn't appear overnight. Its beginning dates back to the period after World War II. At that time, the USA helped fund parts of Europe to regenerate economics. As a knock-on effect of this, Italy soon became a popular base of manufacturing factories, and in the process became a close competitor with West Germany.

Thus, Italian steel was soon used by numerous manufacturers. Arms, textile machinery, domestic appliances, the automobile industry, and machine tools were the first applications. Nowadays, Italy counts a lot of successful factories in the turned parts manufacturing sector and clearly the main emphasis is on precision engineering.

It’s not for nothing that we equate engineering equality with the Bel Paese, as every precision turned parts manufacturer in Italy puts as much care into their products as Italians do to everything else they produce.

You know that if you’re after precision-engineered parts, you’ll get high-quality products thanks to rigorous production processes, innovative technology and a healthy appreciation of manufacturing history.


What lies behind the success

Quality is important because a high-quality product doesn’t require complex strategic marketing for sales; it sells itself. The process consists of blending, brushing, rotating, and refurbishing until the final product is ready.


Technical support and quality control

Success can't be reached without technical support. It's there from the initial design of the product to its evaluation after production, when quality control inspects materials. It's for these reasons you’re assured parts meet strict criteria and have zero defects.


Turning and grinding

The secret lies in how those materials are processed and what type of machines are used. Italian manufacturers mostly use single-spindle CNC machines. These machines allow material to be lathed, milled and even ground-down, to extremely specific measurements. It’s all thanks to innovative computer software that allows for precise, programmed movements.


Washing, packing and logistics

After manufacturing is over, turned parts are washed in controlled conditions to ensure that the product's quality won’t decrease. It's usually done with modified alcohol and a protecting agent application during ultrasound cleaning. When washing is done, products are packed and shipped with complete product traceability.


Turned Parts Manufactured for Every Sector

There's no sector in which these parts can't be used. Conditioning, refrigeration, hardware, gardening, sanitary, plumbing, heating, hydraulics, and electronics are just a few areas where these turned parts can be used.

So, we can see that the road to success isn’t possible without hard work, with everything organized down to the tiniest detail ensuring high-quality products. Whether you’re after supplies for small devices, all the way through to large and complicated orders, you’d be surprised just how versatile and prevalent turned parts are.
