We represent a 360° partner to all our Customers since we guarantee effective design and high quality production.
With our different departments we are able to perform the Customers ‘requests thanks to a variety of services conducted in accordance with the standard of quality and efficiency established in these 40 years of experience.
A characteristic of our services is the constant upgrade of the Customers and total control of the whole project, from its draw to its final delivery.
Services offered by SCS:
In the initial phase a feasibility study is performed, anticipating all the technical solutions and the specific complexity of it.
The feasibility study is essential to start the designing of molds and mechanical processes that meet the Customer’s requests in an optimal way.
The study and analysis stage are performed according to the co-engineering approach, a methodology that is consolidated by our company. It allows a good interaction between different departments of our company (designing and production) and the Customer, optimizing time and cost on the molding process.
In many cases the Customer can contact the company asking for a designing that starts from an existing product. Thanks to very updated software and the use of laser, tracer point, and photogrammetry we are able to recreate a 3D CAD model which describes the product perfectly well. In this way we can have all the technical data necessary to perfectly produce the molds and mechanical process to the Customer.
The designing any mold is performed by the project manager, who follows it up to its accomplishment and Customer’s validation. To succeed, the designing is divided into planned stages, each of them with specific functions and objectives.
The Customer is involved many times during the designing to assure that the project is developed in accordance with the needs of the company and the requests that the mold will have to satisfy.
The production of the molds follows a very defined process which allows us to have the control of any stage of the process.
The company receives the main data supplied by the Customer about the technical characteristics of the mold as well as the delivering time.
People involved:
The necessary designing type is chosen among three different main types:
People involved:
An analysis of all critical aspects and possible solutions is performed. During the preliminary draft stage simulations,calculations and drafts with different options and alternative prices are performed. The final purpose is to verify and upgrade the mold planning and its data for its completion.
People involved:
The developed preliminary draft is reanalysed and verified with the Customer, considering compatibility of prices and results of preliminary design.
People involved:
Once the preliminary draft has been completed, the executive design of the mold is started.
These are the crucial steps of the executive designing:
People involved:
Once the executive designing has started and the main characteristics of the mold have been identified, the project is submitted to a critical review. The correspondence to the initial requirements of the project is verified and the review involves the functions interested in the project.
People involved:
The executive project, once launched and reviewed, is controlled and approved by the General Manager and the Customer, this is the last stage before the production of the mold.
People involved:
The executive project verified and approved by the Customer and General Manager is realized to be continued on the production stage.
The realization and conclusion of the executive project includes:
People involved:
Before being implemented, the project goes through a series of approvals by the various company departments and by the final Customer. Only in this way is it possible to obtain a technically perfect mold, with excellent performance and that really meets the Customer’s production objectives and requests.
The executive designing realized as approved by the General Manager and Customer passes into production stage.
The process of production of molds starts from supplying of the material in the company, a lot of checking and quality tests are performed to fulfil the requests indicated by the Customer during the designing stage.
The realization of the molds follows many working processes:
This procedure is specific and particular according to the destination the mold, if it is for die-casting or injection.
The single components of the mold are assembled in the assembling department to execute the last stages of the test. With the support of the spotting machines the closures are verified, tested in strategic points using centesimal indicator and Prussian blue.
Assembling and testing are important critical stages which precedes delivery to the Customer. Eight assembling stations and three mold testing presses allow us to certify the perfect functioning of the realized project.
All the delivered molds need to go through the test stage first in our quality control department. In this way we are sure we are delivering a perfect mold to the Customer, ready to be inserted in the production cycle.
These are the main parts of the test on the quality of the molds:
The performed mold is tested in a functional level and checked in its every single component, finally sampling is performed with mold testing.
To always assure precise quality control we integrated the romer “Absolute Arm 7525”. A high-tech instrument that allows us to perform a dimensional control on the cavity parts and to photograph the working part in real time, comparing simultaneously with the mathematics developed by the designing. This way we always have the machineries precision level under control and also the efficiency of the productive process, which help us to intervene efficiently to optimize the order flow and to obtain a flawless result in the requested delivery time.
When the mold is completely assembled we perform the hydraulic cylinder seal control, tested up to a pressure of about a 260 Bar.
We perform cold and hot thermoregulation circuit control of the various parts of the mold up to the temperature of about 100°. The cooling system is an essential part of the molding process; therefore, this stage of the test is essential before delivering to the Customer.
The mold tested by the quality control department is delivered to the Customer together with all the agreed samples and control documents. If necessary, a modification loop will be performed in case of non-conformity or to improve performance.
We offer repairing services to our Customers if a mold is damaged, due to the usage or damages caused during production. Together with the Customer we can plan a mold overhaul and maintenance plan. During the revision the mold is completely disassembled to be analysed in details. The Customer will receive a report on all the damaged components with a repairing quotation. If necessary, we can perform laser welding on the mold.
The mold then is reassembled and delivered to the Customer together with all documents.
