Cutting and machining industries
This is a sector that specializes in the manufacturing and processing of parts using cutting, forming and machining techniques. These industries are essential in the production of components for various areas, such as the automotive, aeronautical, machinery, metallurgy, electronics, among others.
Cutting: This process involves separating material from a piece using cutting tools. It can be done in a variety of ways, such as:
Laser cutting: Uses a high-power laser light beam.
Waterjet cutting: Uses a high-pressure jet of water, often combined with abrasives.
Plasma cutting: Uses an electric arc to melt the material.
Mechanical cutting: Includes the use of saws, blades and other tools.
Machining: A manufacturing process in which material is removed from a part using machine tools. Some techniques include:
Milling: Uses a rotating tool to remove material from the workpiece.
Turning: The workpiece rotates while a tool cuts the material.
Drilling: Holes are created in the part using a rotary tool.
Grinding: A finishing process that uses an abrasive wheel to smooth the surface of the part.
These industries require high precision and the use of advanced machinery, and focus on obtaining products with high-quality finishes, exact dimensions and specific characteristics for various industrial applications.
