Engineering
Innovation and exploration
Engineers, technicians and operators work together to open up new horizons. Combined with the needs expressed by our customers, we can meet tomorrow's expectations.
Co-development and industrialization
Technical, quality and logistical challenges: these are the challenges facing new products. We are production specialists; with the support of our BT and industrial performance departments, we create solutions to guarantee the functionality of an assembly, preserve the aesthetics of a component, organize a dedicated production line, and roll out appropriate quality assurance. All in close collaboration with our customers.
Multi-specialty project
For complex components involving several trades, for assemblies of 2 or more components, for tested and proven functions or even complete kits, we combine our know-how to offer a complete service.
Machining
Bar turning
- 3 specialized production sites
- Varied and homogeneous machine park for turning operations from 0.1 to 42 mm in diameter
- Single turning, drilling, polygon turning, trimming, 3-axis and 5-axis micro-milling
- From prototypes to production runs, with specially adapted machinery (SMED approach for small production runs, multispindle technology for large volumes).
- Additional unloading equipment to preserve
perfect components
Milling
3-axis and 5-axis micro-milling, reworked using our CNC equipment or integrated into bar turning operations
Reworking rough turned parts
Reverse milling from die-cut trays
Rework milling from rolled strip
Trimming
Rework on conventional or CNC machines, or integrated into bar turning operations.
- Cutting outside diameter
- Front trimming
- Skiving.
Cutting
- Simple cutting
- Progressive cutting
- Beveling
- Stamping
- Side ironing
In addition, for small production runs:
wire-erosion cutting.

Functional and technical
Laser marking meets traceability and identification needs. Rolling, polishing and grinding operations enable us to offer functional surfaces with extremely fine roughness in areas of friction, pivoting and meshing. These operations also enable tolerances in the micron range to be achieved!
Aesthetics
The possible aesthetic finishes within Azurea have been developed around watch components. Cerclage, colimaçonnage, moulurage, adoucissage rectiligne, poli noir, bleuissage.... These operations are carried out manually or by automated processes.
Heat treatment
A heat treatment department, comprising
gas-shielded furnaces, enables the production of
structural hardening, quenching and tempering operations
for carbon and stainless steels.
Treatments
surface
Chemical-based processes are also part of our know-how.
mastered within the Azurea Group!
Electroplating line for gilding, electroless nickel plating, galvanic nickel plating and rhodium plating.
Passivation line
Complete polishing, burnishing and sandblasting equipment
Assemblies
2 pieces or much more... we carefully assemble the components:
- Chasing, riveting, laser welding, gluing, brazing
- Manual, semi-automatic or automatic
- In grey rooms, ISO5 clean rooms, ISO7 clean rooms
Metrology and controls
functional
Well-mastered processes must be accompanied by appropriate control systems, guaranteeing reproducibility and repeatability. Our equipment, whether market-standard or specifically
developed, enable :
- sample validation checks or checks at 100%
automated - three-dimensional or optical probing controls
- functional testing of mechanical resistance torque, force
holding, friction, sealing, operating clearance
And our Engineering strength means we can envisage all the controls appropriate to your functional needs!
