Made in Glashütte: 7.4. Separating turned parts

Minute wheels in the wind tunnel! Our minute wheels are first produced as blanks without teeth in automatic lathes. After being cut from the raw material, the parts are rinsed clean of cutting oil, which also serves as a coolant, which then collected in a container. Despite sieving and subsequent cleaning, some very small chips stubbornly remain in the batch of blanks. These are now separated from the required parts in a kind of wind tunnel. With a shaking motion and a wind force that only allows small chips to fly away, the blanks remain behind due to their size and mass. Anything superfluous is simply blown away. nomos-glashuette.com #nomos #nomosglashuette #madeinglashuette
