Loiretech can hold all kind of technologies in term of trimming including water-jet cutting, milling, laser cutting and laser pitching. The principle of our technology is to offer self automated tooling which is able to ensure a very accurate position of the part during trimming or cutting operations made on CNC machines or robot cells.
The main applications are listed below :

Milling fixtures
The main principle of this tooling is to hold the part through vacuum onto a soft surface made out of resin which prevents part surface damaging. The vacuum setting is made according to a sequence ensuring the requested accuracy. The control of the process is done with a PLC integrated in the tooling which can communicate with the milling equipment. The average accuracy we can reach is +/-0,1mm.

Weakening fixtures
As for milling fixtures, the main principle of this tooling is to hold the part through vacuum onto a soft surface made of resin which prevents part surface damaging but with a very high accuracy of +/-0,01mm. The vacuum setting is made according to a sequence controlled by a PLC integrated in the tooling and using sensors whose accuracy is +/- 2microns. This kind of tooling is mainly used for air bag weakening applications.

Trimming tooling
The principle of this tooling is to hold the part thanks to the cumulative effect of vacuum and hydraulic cylinders. The average accuracy we can achieve is +/- 0.1mm.
