Saen designs and builds diecasting moulds for machines with closing force up to 2.500 tons.
Since 2002 we have had available a foundry laboratory where we carry out samplings, therefore we have developed a deep knowledge of the process, which allows us to support and advise our Customer on all aspects from the diecasting process to the usage of the moulds.
In the manufacturing process of the mould we care for:
Study of the part using the CAD systems in our possession (Creo, Catia, NX): draughts, radii, parting lines, material allowances, tolerances, geometry of the trimming burrs.
Simulation of the diecasting process: using MAGMA we carry out a solidification and filling study besides an analysis of the thermal behaviour of the mould at full capacity.
Complete design of the mould: according to the numerical simulation outcomes we can suggest technical solutions to reach the very best casting results (mechanical, hydraulic, hybrid, special movements, squeeze pins, jet-coolings, chill vents, vacuum systems, temperature control systems for traditional or minimal lubrication).
Machining and assembly: at our premises we carry out all the machining to get components fitting the precision required by the part.
Sampling: we can internally carry out the mould test to verify the seal and closure besides the perfect functioning for the casting, supplying the Customer with process parameters as a reference to start the series production. The thermal behaviour of the mould is monitored using thermographic images given by Marposs Total Thermal Vision.
Dimensional measuring: for the samples produced during the samplings or for spare parts we have available CMM measuring systems and GOM scanning, which allow us to guarantee precision and the obtained results.
