  • CNC machining of metals and plastics has a number of applications in contemporary industry and makes it possible to obtain extremely precisely designed components, whatever their size.

    In fact, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining has revolutionized the manufacturing sector because it has offered companies the ability to shape metals and plastics with unparalleled flexibility.

    This is why we want to go into more detail about CNC machining of metals and plastics, delving into the features, advantages and applications of this innovative process.

  • CNC programming: a complete guide

    Programming a computer numerical control machine, also known as a CNC machine, is not a simple operation, and requires a certain amount of experience in the field. When we talk about CNC programming, we’re referring to the process of creating computer commands, generally G-codes, used to control these automated production tools, able to carry out precise and complex operations, often for the metalworking sector, such as cuttingmilling and drilling on a variety of materials. These instructions include: information on the movements of the tool, the speed of the spindle, feed rates, tool changes and other parameters necessary to carry out a particular process. Each process in the programming of the CNC machine tool is carried out using an integrated electronic device, usually an on-board computer.

  • A single, evolved partner

    Evolution is the basis of adaptation and survival of species. It applies in biology as well as in economic and industrial dynamics: markets change, technologies update, companies evolve.
    Antonio La Placa's story is a striking example of this evolutionary capacity: after gaining extensive experience in Germany as a FANUC technician, in 1998 he returned to Italy where he founded Assistec. Initially focused on the electronic technical support of CNC machine tools for chip removal equipped with FANUC components (numerical controls, motors, drives, power supplies, electronic boards), he soon expanded his offer with additional, increasingly advanced services.
