Manufacturing capabilities
The factory’s technical facilities allow the craftsmen to brand and engrave watches and stopwatches with the customer’s symbols (logos, photos, dedicatory inscriptions, etc.) that can be placed on the dial and on the case.
Manufacturing capabilities of the factory allow to produce a wide range of various parts:
- Parts made of thermosetting polymers (phenoplasts, aminoplasts and others) on hydraulic presses and thermoset moulding machines.
- Parts made of thermoplastics (ABS, polystyrene and others) on thermoplastic moulding machines of 2-250 cm3 shot capacity and clamping force of up to 160 tf.
- Parts made of ferrous and non-ferrous metals using cold forming technique on forming presses of 0.5-100 ft force, including automatic presses.
- Complex solid-of-revolution type metal parts made out of workpieces of up to 10 mm in diameter on bar-fed Swiss type lathes.
- Brass and steel fillister head screws as per GOST 1491-80 Standard and countersunk screws as per GOST 17475-80 Standard with threads from M 0.5 to M 1.6 and various small-sized rivets.
- Sets of contacts for instrument engineering with elastic elements made of beryllium bronze and bimetal contacts.
The factory has an electroplating room where metal objects are covered with protective-decorative coating:
- Zinc plating of metal goods and other steel parts weighing up to 0.5 kg in bell-shaped baths and of large-sized parts (up to 250x500x250 mm) in still-plating baths.
- Decorative and durable chrome plating of steel and copper alloy parts.
- Durable electroless nickel plating of steel parts.
- Decorative bright nickel plating of steel and copper alloy parts.
