"Twicky parts".Or how to explore feasible limitMechanic Martin Fischer skillfully in metal and maintained a delicate balance between art.His enthusiasm: elegant pendulum clocks, for which he need to be precision parts.He commissioned, the Cut companies use Bystronic laser cutting device to Cut these important parts.
Al - Cut AG located in Switzerland Inwil Lucerne, by Toni Raber and Andi Sommer was founded in 2009, is a laser and water experts in the field of cutting and grinding and bending.Enterprise now has 17 employees and more than 500 fixed customers.Al - the Cut是 Bystronic 的亲密合作伙伴，也定期协助测试新机器。除了湿磨和矫直系统、一台振动精整机 (Trowal) 和一台去毛刺机源自其他品牌外，Al-Cut 主要使用 Bystronic 旗下产品。
We bought a full range of Bystronic machine.We will also test prototype.

Toni Raber shows us the industrial metal processing enterprises reception area to display a about 2 mm long miniature bike.Must be with the aid of a magnifying glass to see the spokes and pedals and other details."使用激光切割设备，我们不仅能高精度切割，还能加工最小的尺寸”，Toni Räber 解释说。
This is why Martin Fischer to commission, made the Cut his escapement components needed for the pendulum clock.
Martin Fischer,
To explore the possibility
However,Martin Fischer,entrustAl - the CutThe cause of the pendulum clock parts is not just a precision: is thatRaberWilling to accept challenging orders and cooperation with customers to find abnormal problem solution-For example, when cutting metal heat resistance problem.
andMartin Fischer,The customer to explore possible limit fun together.We must firstFischer,Vertical pendulum clocks tackled agencies to find a suitable material.
Toni Raber
RaberCalled them"Twickyparts"(Described the difficult parts of jargon).For the pendulum clock parts, they will useCK45After hardening steel, because it will be in the processing, thus minimizing movement of wear and tear.
Pendulum clock
The finest pendulum clock parts, manufactured by Al - Cut
These filaments with open clockwork mechanism is composed of metal objectFischer,R&d and design from the very beginning.The latest in-- - "Clockwork 2.00 B"Consists of four interlocking gear, a pendulum, a counterweight and escapement*The latter contains"disc"And an anchor.
It took me some time to adjust the escapement geometry.
Martin Fischer,
Clockwork 2.00 B
No secret to teacher for his advice on the manufacture of watches, he was unable to finish the task.But, once got the hang of them, the rest is just for metal precision machining.
