Moulding and automation
Cutting-edge machine fleet, production active 24 hours a day and metal replacement for technopolymer elements.
Meccanostampi is able to satisfy the most demanding supply programmes proposed. The high flexibility offered is possible thanks to a machine fleet of over 140 cutting-edge injection moulds (vertical, horizontal, mono and bi-component) with a tonnage ranging from 40 to 500 tonnes. All moulds have three dimensional or anthropomorphic robots to respond to the most challenging insert or moulded part handling requirements, increasing over the years the level of efficiency and accuracy of its work stations.
There are 4 production departments and production is active 24 hours a day, thus making it possible to produce large volumes with very high quality standards, thanks to rigorous Process Control methods, entrusted directly to operators using modern injection moulding machine control systems and measurement and data storage systems connected directly to the corporate IT structure, or with automatic systems directly in the production line through advanced control systems that check 100% of the most critical characteristics in order to ensure conformity of the final product.
The process of measuring samples from new moulds in order to obtain approval has a dedicated and very efficient structure that uses 3D probe, optical or 3D optical scanning measurement systems for rapid verification of sample characteristics compared to the 3D reference model.
As regards mass production, Meccanostampi can perform frequent and punctual split deliveries, in line with the current approach of reducing inventories and lead times, for full integration in customer production flows, wherever they may be.
The skills developed over the years have made it possible to implement complex components or even sub-assemblies which incorporate metal elements and various thermoplastic resins, including the most innovative technopolymers that allow, within the scope of so-called “metal replacement”, the development of very technical parts, capable of replacing elements traditionally made of steel or light alloys.
