Chronometric cell CLAchronométrie

The CLA multi-calibers chronometric Cell is used to monitor and tune the performance of a mechanical watch movement or a watch. The CLA multi-calibres chronometric Cell is used to monitor and tune the performance of a mechanical watch movement or a watch. Integrated testing may depend on the type of product to be tested but generally consists of measurements for rate deviation, beat error and amplitude at 0h and 24h as well as a power reserve check. Additional tasks may be added such as: the reading of the next number, checking the indenting of the cannon pinion or the activation and control of the functions of the watch. The correction work-tables can be linked to the Cell for any Line adjustments depending on the production model chosen. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The Cell consists of a robotic unit that allows the handling of parts between the different automatic processes. The parts to be worked on are loaded into the chronometric Cell in the stores. Therefore, the parts are worked on individually using RFID technology. The robotic unit picks up the parts to be checked and then prepares them for the first operation in the range which is generally the winding. This can be done by the rod or the mass with the CLAarmage or the CLAremontage respectively. As the parts are individually identified, their winding time may be different. Once the parts have been wound, the robotic unit will place the parts on the unit that measures for rate deviation, beat error and amplitude at 0h.
