In 2015, the company took delivery of a Haas VM-6 vertical machining centre, which has allowed Chiaro engineers to reduce machining set-up times, and more easily machine a wide variety of different size parts.<\/p>\n
Based near the industrial capital of Italy, Turin \u2013 self-proclaimed City of the Automobile \u2013\u00a0privately owned specialist-engineering company, Chiaro Macchine Speciali, is perfectly located to serve industry heavyweights, such as Magneti Marelli and Webasto. In fact, 80 percent of the company\u2019s engineered products, test systems, and tooling \u2013 used in manufacturing processes and on production lines \u2013 are supplied to the European and global automotive sector.<\/p>\n
Andrea Beltramo and his colleague, Khalid Mahmood, are the Chiaro engineers responsible for the company\u2019s Haas CNC machine tools, one of which is a VM-6 mould-making machine.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe bought the Haas because we wanted a large, solid machine,\u201d says Ing. Mahmood. \u201cAnd, it\u2019s precise and versatile. We don\u2019t make parts in large numbers; most of the test systems and machines we build are one-offs, but we do need versatility. The Haas VM-6 table, with its X and Y T-slots, gives us the ability to quickly and easily mount parts of different sizes and shapes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do all our planning and design in-house,\u201d adds Ing. Beltramo, \u201cso it\u2019s important \u2013 for speed and quality control \u2013 that we can make our own parts, test them, and make changes as quickly and efficiently as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
A typical Chiaro test system could be, for example, one designed to check fabricated automotive exhausts before they are fitted to vehicles on a line.<\/p>\n
Ing. Beltramo explains: \u201cWe\u2019ve designed and built a fully automated machine that allows our customer to check the silencer of an exhaust system for leaks. It will be located beside a production line, so it has to be designed to minimize the possibility of set-up errors and, very importantly, it has to accommodate a variety of different model variations without any trouble or delays.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore the Haas VM-6 arrived, we already had a Haas TM-2 Toolroom Mill, which we use for small, one-off parts. So, we already knew the Haas control, which meant we were able to start working the new machine without the need for much additional instruction. We did a very short course, and that was it!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re extremely happy with the VM-6,\u201d says Ing. Mahmood, \u201cand I know the company owner is, too. We got the machine we needed to be able to improve the way we make parts in-house. It has made a significant difference.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
