BOURGEAT uses 4 different technologies to achieve form control :

drawing and cutting , spinning, flow turning
and sheet metal works


These methods are completed by specifics skills in
bending, welding and polishing.

Drawing & cutting

14 hydraulic presses from 60 to 600 Tons and 16 mechanical cutting presses from 5 to 400 Tons
Series from 100 to over 500 000.

Principle : the deformation of metal by exerting pressure
Advantages : applicable to all metals.
Deep drawing with vacuum annealing.
Large sizes ( 1 to 200 dm3).


Spinning

5 automatic spinning lathes.
Manual or automatic production of conical and spherical
shapes adapted to small series

Principle : metal takes the form of the tool it is worked against
Advantages : flexibility in production can embrace forms up to 500 mm diameter and 1000 mm in length


Flow turning

3 flow turning lathes.
Semi-automatic production.

Principle : working of metal onto a cylindrical tool using three heads simultaneously.
Advantages : thick sides and bases, hardened walls, reinforcement of vulnerable areas.



Sheet metal work

Cutting with rotary and plane shearing machines
Bending and assembly in flexible workshop
Manual, semi-automatic and automatic welding
Finishing by emery grinding, polishing, abrasive bead
blasting
Final degreasing to food grade quality
