NEW HEAT TREATMENT
FURNACE AT DELLE
From this year on, the Delle site will be enjoying a new martensitic
treatment furnace with a capacity of 1 ton/hour. The piece of
equipment, installed in a new 2,000 sq.m. building, has increased
the processing capacity of the plant from 290 to 430 tons per week.
In total, more than 200 different part references from the Delle, Dasle,
Melisey, Saint-Florent and Vöhrenbach sites in Germany are
processed in this furnace. Qualified in December 2017, it
reached its peak in March 2018.
The facility benefits from several strong points: first of all,
its energy efficiency, which allows a saving of about EUR 100k/
year through the recovery of fatal heat. Secondly, process
innovations improve the quality of the produced parts and reduce
production costs significantly. Finally, its 4.0 monitoring system
(continuous quality control, automatic blocking of non-compliant
parts, control and mastery of consumables, production and process
parameters monitoring, paper-free, etc.), places the Delle site on
the path to the
Factory of the Future
. Besides, the furnace was
designed to be loaded and unloaded automatically, eventually by AGVs
(Automatic Guided Vehicles).

MELISEY CONTINUES
ITS DEVELOPMENT
The Melisey site continues to expand in the production
of mechanical safety components with the introduction
this year of Tornos digitally controlled multispindle
lathes. These devices are intended for the machining
of pinions and drive shafts used in the mechanisms for
adjusting the electrical lifting of vehicle seats for one of the
site’s clients. The start of the series took place in the second
half of 2017. The production costs of such components already
exceed EUR 1.2 million. The doubling of volumes to be
produced in 2019 will require an additional investment of
EUR 1 million in 2018.
