We find ourselves in the midst of the eighties, when in Trezzano Rosa, still within what was then called the province of Milan, Alberto Cavalli was founding a small artisan company specializing in precision mechanical machining, Alca Snc.
Since then, through various stages and vicissitudes, the company, now called Alca Srl, has grown significantly and is still in the midst of that relentless evolutionary process typical of virtuous realities.
Over time, Alberto Cavalli began to involve his children in the company, who made significant contributions to its development. Thanks also to their input, the company relocated to the nearby area of Pozzo d’Adda. Later, towards the end of the 2000s, the company established its current headquarters in Pozzo d’Adda on Via del Lavoro.
Precision Mechanics: Our Craft for Forty Years
Since its first day of operation, Alca Srl has focused on mechanical machining in general, especially working on behalf of third parties and developing expertise in three fundamental areas of the sector: assembly, milling, and turning.
It is undoubtedly appropriate to acknowledge the merit not only of Andrea and Anna (children of the founder Alberto) but also of the large number of people who have been involved in the machining processes as highly skilled labor in the sector. These workers have competently operated the machinery on which the company has invested over time, always maintaining a high level of technological advancement in the metalworking sector.
Particularly important in the company’s development journey was the introduction of CNC systems (computer numerical control), which allow for programming and automation of machining processes, ensuring a high degree of precision primarily thanks to the skills and expertise of the operator who programs these technological systems.
Harmony between CNC Lathes and Milling Machines: The Secret to Advanced Machining
In the realm of modern industrial technology, as mentioned above, CNC programmed turning and milling form essential pillars of mechanical production as a whole.
These innovative techniques are not just mechanical processes; they can almost become true forms of art, capable of precisely embodying the material ideas of designers and engineers. Delving into the specifics of these systems, we cannot fail to list some fundamental features.
One of these is certainly micron-level precision, a standard guaranteed by these systems. One key aspect of CNC machining is indeed the extremely high precision, sometimes down to the micron. Gear teeth, smooth surfaces, and complex shapes come to life through numerical control, which ensures unparalleled repeatability.
CNC machines perform tasks that would escape human manual dexterity, thus allowing the creation of components with minimal tolerances, essential for the metalworking industry in general.
Also noteworthy is the virtually limitless versatility guaranteed, which forms a highly distinctive trait of the entire CNC universe. Through precise programming, a CNC machine can effortlessly switch from turning a cylindrical piece to milling complex surfaces with incredible precision. This flexibility enables the production of a wide range of components, from large-scale production of identical pieces to the creation of original prototypes.
Today’s highly competitive market cannot do without a high standard of efficiency in the production phase.
Efficiency is therefore the key to any successful industrial process. CNC turning and milling, thanks to their advanced automation, significantly reduce production times and minimize human errors. The ability to operate continuously over multiple shifts, thereby minimizing downtime, enables efficient and smooth production, which is reliable.
The CNC machining world is rapidly and constantly evolving thanks to the race of technological innovation. New materials and emerging machining techniques continually expand the possibilities of design and production.
In conclusion, CNC programmed turning and milling are a crucial center for industrial precision, essential in many fields of application due to their ability to transform ideas into reality with a rarely imitable precision. Their effectiveness not only redefines mechanical production but also opens the doors to a world of infinite possibilities in creating components that drive technological progress.
