Customers increasingly expect from their suppliers responsiveness, agility and flexibility

We were entrusted with the development of a major project for 2-Modul Art casting lines by one of the largest foundry companies on the global market. These lines were intended to produce the cylinder head of a Volkswagen engine in 2015.

THE CHALLENGE

In 2014 we were contacted by one of the leading foundries worldwide to participate in the construction of a new production point in Russia where the square meterage available to build the system was very…

A merry-go-round is an attraction for children. Once it consisted of a rotating platform on a vertical axis on which were mounted mainly wooden horses or sometimes other kinds of animals, on whose saddles children then sat.

A mechanical system that oscillated, gave the impression that the horses themselves were galloping. Movement resulted from pushing by hand, usually by the operator, via the poles anchored externally to the rotary platform of the merry-go-round.

It was only in the 1860s that it was replaced by the steam engine, further…

THE CHALLENGE

In 2016, we were contacted by one of the most important foundries worldwide to participate in the creation of a new automatic cell for core gluing and for the insertion of a metal filter on the top core. Also in this case the space available to create the system was very limited and the products to be created were of 3 different types: no. 2 RH-LH products on which to perform extraction of the products from the existing core shooter, deburring, the insertion and fixing of a metallic filter, gluing of the cores that comprise the…

The entry of ARTIMPIANTI into the Indian market clarified that each customer has a specific production requirement.

These requirements may depend on the type of product to be produced, the production technology and the annual production of products.

THE CHALLENGE

In the specific case of an important Indian producer of aluminium castings the request was to encapsulate in a single cell the entire production process of an aluminium cast, from casting to pre-finish. At the exit of the cell the product is ready for machining.

THE SOLUTION

We…

THE CHALLENGE

At the start of 2016 we were commissioned, by one of the major alluminum foundry multinationals, a new project in their plant in France. The project, part of a larger schedule for the renovation of their automotive cylinder head production, consisted with the substitution of an old two positions casting line with a new more advanced system that could guarantee a high flexibility and a production rate of 13 parts/hour for each casting bench, respecting the ergonomy and safety of the operators.

THE SOLUTION

The reduced space of…

THE CHALLENGE

Recently the possibility has emerged of creating a line for core assembling intended for the cast iron casting of large V8 engines for heavy vehicles.

After careful research by our team and with the awareness of testing for the first time of such a large cores assembly system, the proposal has been accepted.

THE SOLUTION

The cell, or rather the “core assembly line”, designed and built to compose large cores, includes the manual pre-positioning of 5 small parts, picking up by a robot of two “basic cores” leaving the dryer oven,…
