Mechanical Fabrication

With the arrival of the third Reinhart generation, the mechanical fabrication made multiple steps forward.


In the years 1952-1999

The cleaning tools were fabricated on conventional machines.

In the years 2000-2006

The method of cleaning tool fabrication was improved to modern CNC machines (2-Axis Lath- and 3-Axis Milling machines with positionnal 4th axis).Production time was reduced and machining quality increased.The new way to machine allowed:
  • to machine small to big series of parts
  • one person to control several machines simultaneously

From 2007 to today

In 2008 RHC SA took another step improving the quality and the flexibility of the machining departement.
  • Programming with CAM Software (Computer Aided Manufacturing)
  • Programming directly on 3D tool parts
  • Machines are on the newest state of the art (Combined lathe and milling, 4 axis milling)

From 2009 to today

The company automated the last operations that were handmade over the years by investing in:

  • A water-cutting machine
  • A leather-cutting machine
The machining department made another big step by acquiring
  • A 5 axis milling machine
  • Two 4 axis milling center
