USINAGE COTE CORNE

Client's explanation All is clear: the machine in question is for making watch bodies (they could'a told me that!), hence the "cornes" are the lugs between which is a rod holding the watch strap.
The term then means "lug dimension machining"

corne In fact the word "corne(s)" appeared in a previous translation for this CNC machine company some time ago (referred to in my question context) so I think we can assume that the term is bona fide at least for this company. I have now asked the company to explain the expression asked her, and "corne" in general, and will post their reply).

usine coté de la crone? Le contexte supplémentaire "COTEE" exclut la possibilité de "côté", d'ailleurs une corne dans une machine d'usinage ça ne semble pas répandu, des pointes à la rigueur sur les tours?
Par contre "usinage coté" sur une machine à commande numérique paraît redondant: ce type de machine ne peut faire d'usinage qu'à partir d'une commande numérique qui par définition contient une cote ou une valeur de position?

It really depends on what is being described. Machined components are typically given descriptive names that identify them but can be rather colloquial. In the link below, the part called a "corne" is the "horn" of an electric guitar, where the body is cut away to let the fingers reach the high-pitched notes. "Usinage cote corne" could be "machining of horn dimension", but you would really need to understand what is being described to know if that makes sense. Perhaps it's "machining of support dimension". If coté is accented to mean the "horn side" or maybe "support side", you would again need to know more about what is being described.
