Db Decolletage

What they make

According to their website, DB Décolletage is a French precision machining company based in La Tour, specializing in décolletage (bar-turning) — producing rotational parts such as screws, nuts and axles from metal bar stock. It works in steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminum, cast iron and plastic, machining diameters from 0.5 mm up to 180 mm, and covers small batches as few as 5 pieces to series exceeding 4 million units. Its machine park combines 25 cam-operated lathes, 5 CNC lathes and 2 robotic finishing lathes, supported by an ultrasonic washing machine. Quality control uses profile projectors, surface roughness meters, micrometers, calipers and gauges, with tolerances around +/- 1.5 microns; the company states it is pursuing ISO 9001 certification. It also assembles complete sub-assemblies. Parts serve aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, robotics, hydraulics and construction customers, with client references including Rolls-Royce, EDF, Alstom and Saint-Gobain. The company cites over 40 years in turning and machining.
