CNC machining delivers micron precision and tight tolerances for complex geometry.
Optimized for mass production, high-volume machining utilizes advanced automation and process control to ensure consistent quality, tight tolerances, and superior cost efficiency at scale.
Designed for precision-driven applications, low-volume machining supports prototype development and limited production runs with high accuracy, rapid iteration, and reduced tooling requirements.
Watch Movement Main Plate utilizes materials such as ARCAP and stabilized brass alloys with low coefficients of thermal expansion (<10 ppm/°C). This guarantees dimensional consistency across thermal cycles and operational conditions, critical for maintaining escapement timing and overall movement performance.
Watch Movement Main Plate is finished to achieve surface flatness under 2 µm and parallelism below 3 µm between critical datum planes. This level of control reduces axial misalignment in the gear stack and ensures uniformity in oscillating weight and rotor behavior.
Watch Movement Main Plate is engineered with optimized rib geometry and localized wall thickness to suppress deformation and reduce modal resonance under shock or vibration. These characteristics contribute to higher shock resistance and consistent movement frequency stability.

Supports precise alignment of gear train, escapement, and bridges to ensure accurate torque transfer and minimal positional deviation under load.
Provides structural reference for multi-layer modules and secures timing wheels, cams, and levers within strict axial and radial tolerances.
Maintains exact rotation axis positioning for the tourbillon cage to minimize deviation in rate regulation and enhance oscillation stability.
Houses ball-bearing seats and rotor pivots while preserving flatness for consistent kinetic energy transfer to the mainspring barrel.
Allows precision machining of load-bearing geometries while supporting openwork designs without compromising mechanical stiffness or gear train alignment.
Enables sub-3mm movement builds by integrating functional features within a reduced thickness main plate with tight deformation control.
Watch Movement Main Plate integrates high-accuracy bore holes, reamed and validated via optical metrology to maintain sub-5 µm concentricity and roundness. Accurate hole geometry prevents wear and ensures long-term alignment of arbors and shafts under operational torque loads.
Watch Movement Main Plate undergoes controlled annealing or precipitation hardening processes to achieve uniform hardness (typically HV150–HV200) without inducing internal stress. This ensures dimensional integrity during machining and prevents creep under static assembly loads.

Frigate uses automated CNC machining with closed-loop control systems to maintain tolerance within ±3 µm. Inline CMM inspection verifies critical features like hole position, flatness, and bore diameter. SPC (Statistical Process Control) is implemented to detect any process drift during production. This ensures every main plate maintains identical geometry, even in high-volume runs.
Frigate employs optical metrology and 3D coordinate measuring machines to validate true position, roundness, and concentricity of every bore. Precision reaming and interpolation drilling are used to hold positional accuracy below 5 µm. Each part is inspected per ISO 2768 fine-grade tolerance. This guarantees consistent arbor and pivot alignment during movement assembly.
Yes, Frigate supports custom pocket layouts, stacked wheel modules, and multi-level bridges. Plates are designed with differential cut-outs and customized thickness gradients to handle increased axial force and component density. FEM analysis is performed to optimize material distribution. This ensures mechanical stability without increasing movement thickness.
Frigate applies controlled thermal cycling and cryogenic treatments after final machining to relieve residual stress. This avoids time-dependent distortion or creep during storage or assembly. Parts are then stabilized in humidity-controlled environments to preserve dimensional integrity. This process is essential for ensuring long-term reliability of precision assemblies.
Frigate machines jewel seats with interference fit tolerances maintained within ±2 µm. Surface roughness is kept below Ra 0.2 µm to prevent crack initiation. Materials are selected for controlled hardness to avoid jewel fracture during installation. This guarantees high retention strength without compromising positional accuracy.
