Application Center
Validate your machining processes before industrialization
Before launching a process into production, manufacturers need to resolve a number of uncertainties:
- Is my process really suited to my materials and the tolerances required?
- Will performance be up to scratch on large parts?
- How can I be sure that my machining parameters are optimized before investing in a CNC machine or robotized cell?
To meet these challenges, CRENO provides its customers with its Application Centera unique industrial environment where you can test, qualify and optimize your processes on real parts and materials.
A test and prototype center integrated into your TRL ramp-up
- The CRENO Application Center is designed to help your projects reach industrial maturity (TRL). This center enables you to :
- Reduce your industrial risks: remove technical hurdles before going to industrial scale.
- Proof of concept (POC): test the feasibility of a specific process on your parts.
- Qualify your processes: adjust parameters, optimize trajectories and control machining forces.
- Produce your first machined prototypes: validate geometry, precision and machining quality.
Benefits for your industrial projects
- Secure your investment: you can validate your technical choices before purchasing your CNC equipment.
- Save time: accelerate your TRL ramp-up and reduce production testing phases.
- Performance control: optimize machining paths, limit defects on your critical parts.
- Reduced costs: fewer hazards on your lines thanks to predefined processes.
First-class technical resources for testing your machining solutions
- The Application Center is equipped to reproduce real production conditions and validate your machining processes:
- Two multi-process robotized cells: milling, drilling, ultrasonic cutting.
- Air-conditioned metrology room: dimensional control and tolerance validation.
- Prototyping workshop: tests on real parts, composite and metallic materials.
- 10-ton overhead cranes: ability to handle bulky parts.
- CAD/CAM and simulation software: programming and validation before machining.
- A confidential area dedicated to our customers' developments, to ensure the security of their technologies.
