01/Co-design
A synergistic design
Each project is developed by a Team of experienced technicians, combining the know-how gained in 50 years of experience and the most advanced technologies, including design software and 3D simulations.Co-design phases:
• Design concept: product requirements and functional analysis, modelling, optimization of die-cast components based on the final assembly demands
• Casting process analysis: vacuum and squeeze pin development, casting simulation, design of 3D-CAD casting shot (CATIA, PRO-ENGINEER), construction of 3D-CAD mould design.
• Manufacturing of the soft tooling, prototyping and serial moulds
• Quality Management – FMEA, APQP, PPAP
02/Melting
Performance and sustainability
The Melting dept. is equipped with 3 Striko Westofen furnaces that ensure the simultaneous processing of 3 different aluminium alloys (i.e. EN AB 46100 - 47100 - 44300 - 44100 - Silafont - Anticorodal - Aluman).The melting process, parameters and operating temperatures are monitored in real time Software Industria 4.0 to guarantee optimal machine parameters, traceability and consumption monitoring at all process stages.
03/Die-casting
Lean Production
The foundry is equipped with casting cells: Bühler DCMs from 500 to 3000 tons, fully automated with multiple robots, Wollin lubricating systems, mould temperature control units, Striko Westofen electric holding furnaces, trimming presses and deburrig devices on-board.The critical characteristics of each component are handled with specific technologies, such as Squeeze-pin, Vacuum Fondarex, and Spot cooling systems.
In recent years, the foundry has evolved from the traditional die-casting machine to the new “complete cell” concept, where multiple processes suchas die-casting, trimming, deburring and shotblasting are incorporated into the Lean Production concept.
Towards the final product, through a customized finishing line
Normalien has a specific corporate know-how for the treatment of surface finishing, that enables to process both aesthetical and high standard technology components, securing the highest quality level. Our line is equipped with Automatic grinding plants for a flexible process in-house, which ensures a smooth and stable surface finishing for the entire product lifetime.
Shotblasting and Grinding prepare the surface for the next treatments, all managed by Normalien as a single reference partner: powder coating, CED painting, tampo printing.
