frameco2_photo2_caseID113Particularly complex part due to realisation off-mould of 6 seatings of bushes of Ø 8 mm/0.31 inches, with diametral tolerance of ± 0.015 mm without additional machining. Complex shapes allowing the integration of various functions (motor bracket, axle housings, input and output of the ticket, positioning of the detection cell for important economy with the process compared to press formed steel sheet. Reduction of the machine dimensions by different function integration, anti-magnetic character compared to plastics and rigidity of the assembly.
