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)
Lathe part programming with CAM software
Lathe machine with milling option
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
