Machining Shop

Pistons are produced following specific processes defined by the application, in years spent by our staff analyzing the cycles together machine tools constructors. All the machines (turning, milling and boring operations) are cnc controlled and CAM connected to office with interaction for programs and quality controls.  
 

Piston’s shape is designed and machined to provide a profile that works efficiently on the engine, releasing the expected performances. All as result of a combination of elliptical forms in shape and barreled in length. The profile is usual defined theoretically and refined after the tests on the engine. The shape finishing operation is made modern cnc lathes.

Piston’s profiles are inspected or by Talyround or by Mahr Formtester gages, both located inside temperature controlled environments.
 

Quality Area

VP ITALY works in ISO9001 certification since by far 1997 and is always involved into the “continuos improvment process”.




Recently started the “zero paper project” where, thanking the cooperation with a Leader company expertize in this field, all the quality registrations (dimensional controls, x/r charts, etc.) are performed by specific files automatically or manually loaded directly by the cnc machine during the working process. Specific certification for each batch is forwarded the specific customers and kept in our archive for 5 years.
