A reference point in the mechanical processing – Interview with Tirabassi & Vezzali
Over the years we have invested in lathes that can turn parts up to 1,200mm long, and with machines like these it was obligatory to invest in testing systems for the parts.
The main benefits of this machine are speed – inspections are much faster than previous manual systems – and an objective inspection of all the details, regardless of who is actually checking the part.
This machine is essential for our work because all the operators know that they can trust the results.
