PIERACCI MECCANICAOUR KEYWORDS AREQUALITY, TECHNOLOGYAND CUSTOMERSATISFACTIONPIERACCI MECCANICA HAS BEHIND ANORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE IN TERMSOF DESIGN, PRODUCTION AND SERVICEACCORDING TO THE NEEDS OF EACHCLIENT.THREE GENERATIONSPRODUCING QUALITYThe firm was established at Follonica (Grosseto)in the 1930’s and started off with the productionof custom-built racing bicycle frames after aperiod spent as a selling agent for EdoardoBianchi.Production continued with motorized bicyclespowered by “Cucciolo” engines until the 1950’s,when the firm was transferred to Pontedera(Pisa)and began designing and constructing stampedplate frames for Sachs and JLO engines, and forfolding bicycles marketed in Holland, Germanyand Denmark.In the early 1970’s Pieracci Meccanica movedto its current location at Fornacette (Pisa),where it carried out the industrialization andproduction of frames, forks, stands, etc. forTomos (Koper – Slovenia), Bensow Solifer OY/AB(Helsinki – Finland) and Gilera – Piaggio (Arcore– Italy). After the 1980’s, which were devoted tothe production of moped and bicycle carrierson account of the socio-economic situation ofthe period, the activity of Pieracci Meccanicahas been characterized by the manufacture offrames.

Technologyand organization

COMPANY PROFILEThe present period is characterized by an excess of offerregarding the demand: in fact the request for technologicalinnovation is very strong and the pressure of been global isalso supported.Therefore, to afford this complex market it isessential for the company having a clear and precise strategybased on optimization of product development, manufacturingefficiency and quality with which to satisfy itself and thecustomer.The trump card of the success of Pieracci Meccanicahas been and continues to be the quality of their productscombined with technology development and production tomeet market needs and customer satisfaction. Flexibility andproductivity are two concepts that were previously consideredalways in opposition.Today, however, customers are increasingly demanding thesefeatures together. In order to achieve appropriate solutions tocustomer requirements, a company must have an adequateorganizational structure in terms of design, manufacture andservice. The company is ISO 9001:2000 certified.Pieracci Meccanica is headquartered inFornacette Calcinaia (Pisa) and is composedof several establishments where severalactivities take place such as: Raw materials inventory and cutting tube(2,000 sqm) Department cold forming of tubes and plates,bending pipe, machining machine tool(sqm 2,000). Prototyping and small series production floor(2,000 sqm) Equipment department, Metrology room(800 sqm) Automatic assembling frames and variousspecial tube and sheet, administrative offices,logistics and planning.

Serviceand Support

PROTOTYPINGCAD STATIONAll the construction for special tools and forsingle items of the project can be followeddirectly in prototypes area with a CAD stationused by specialized workers for prototypes.TOOLING/MACHINIG AREAThis area is equipped with 3 milling machinesand 1 CNC machine a turning machine andother classical machines (column drill, grinder,and so on).ASSEMBLYFor the construction of complex items likeframes, there are 2 double sided specialworkbench developed for mounting fasteningstructures necessary for assembling andwelding.WELDING AREAThere are various welding machines. A MIG/MAG synergic welding machine and a TIGwelding machine (capable to weld differentmaterials) are usually used for manual weldingof prototypes.MEASURING AREAThe prototyping area is directly connected tometrological department. This is very importantfor prompt dimensional checking of specialstools, frames, parts of frames. The metrologicaldepartment is equipped with a 3d bridgemeasurement machine for frames and big item,and a 3d articulated arm for small items.PHASESOur technical office analyzes the composition(distinct) of the frame (or different structure)to be able to divide it into suitable parts for itsachievement.In this way it is defined the construction cyclefor each part or similar sub-assembly tothe standard construction cycle to validatethe final stages during prototyping. T hemethod of manufacture of the parts changesaccording to the type:11
