About Giroud SA
Giroud mécanique de précision SA is a Swiss manufacturer of precision mechanics based in Le Locle in the Canton of Neuchâtel. The company manufactures precision cross slides (standard slides) predominantly from grey cast iron, whose surfaces are ground and fitted with zero-resettable verniers graduated to 1/100 mm. The range also includes HR-type linear guide precision tables for positioning in the micron range, thin XY slides, rotary tables, EasyMount series aluminum slides for laboratory, medical and humid environments, as well as accessories for the Schaublin 102 lathe (precision cross slide and milling attachment with W20 spindle). The portfolio is complemented by pneumatic insertion presses of types Statif 50 and Statif 100 for insertion, crimping and marking tasks. Options offered include custom machining, chemical nickel plating, phosphating and scraping. Customers are found in the watchmaking and precision mechanics industry, mechanical engineering, medical technology and laboratory supplies.
