Products like gearbox casings, covers, manifolds and transmission cases belong to this field. The problems of these parts are mainly the same as for the ones for motorcycles and automotive but considering that the involved quantities are normally not so high, it is extremely important to arrange the production in the right way since the first phase when preparing the die casting tools. In this case as well mainly dimensional and leakage checks are carried out.
We cover a wide range of products such as clutch covers, gearbox casings, engine covers, carburetors, suction pipes, steering columns and so on, addressed to the automotive field and to the heavy means of transport.
These parts require a high quality level, mainly constant along the time. The design of the toolings is extremely important and for this reason we usually make use of the computerized simulation system of the injection from the first phase to the casting cooling one.
Afterwards process and product statistical checks are carried out so that to grant that every slightest process deviation is immediately pointed out.
A wide range of uses sees our Company as preferential supplier due to flexibility and ability of the technicians to face the most different customers’ necessities. We are able to offer a complete service, from the design of the tolling till the product certification. Thanks to our partners’ support we are also in the vanguard as far as machining, surface finishings and paintings are concerned.
Our high quality standards clearly represent the consolidated reality of our Company making us an interesting and successful partner.
Our production range includes some different items which are used in the building field and on the market of the componentry technologies. In detail, we supply big tiles for “floating” floors mainly used in the plants producing micro-chips where it is necessary to have filtrated air circulating or in buildings where cables and pipes have to be easily reached.
Also components for escalators and conveyer belts represent another very important product of our production.
For this field we mainly produce components for refrigerator compressors, both for domestic and industrial uses. The difficulty of these products lies in the fact that very high quantities are normally requested to be supplied at very competitive prices. Consequently it is absolutely necessary to produce using multiple-cavity toolings with extremely quick production cycles, granting anyway the very high quality request. We experienced several specific researches as far as die casting tools, the use of special kind of steels and the surface treatments of the die casting tools themselves are concerned.
Strict and frequent dimensional checks are carried out and, basing on the involved quantities, they have been computer-based with the use of continuous 3D-scan equipments.
Our Company is specialized and particularly equipped for the production of gardening items from 5 to 15 kilos. These pars are produced on completely automated die casting machines from 1,200 to 2,500 tons which allow us to obtain in one automatic cycle completely machined parts which then need only to be deburred and sandblasted.
We have a wide range of Italian and foreign customers who appreciate our ability and cooperation in solving the different technical problems (tooling life, surface finishings, optimization of the injection, and so on) which are needed by these parts mainly due to their dimensions. We are also able to supply the parts with different levels of finishing, i.e. machined, sandblasted, painted.
FONDERMETAL S.p.A. gained the reputation of good and quality oriented supplier having developed technical authorities which allow to continuously check the perfect accordance of the products with the customers’ specifications. Our Quality Department relies on suitable equipments so that to ensure very high quality standards. For these reasons our customers in various fields (boating, hobby industries, travels and tourism, and so on) contact us since the co-planning phase to solve together both technical and industrialization aspects of the different parts.
The peculiarity and the difficulty of these products lies in the thin wall thickness usually combined with the box shape. Only by properly projecting the toolings and using modern, computerized machines able to grant the repetitiveness of the parameters it is possible to produce parts with a perfect finishing level of the surface and compactness.
On the surface quality it often depends, for us and for our customers, the gaining of a market. The most important producers in this field are customers of ours since many years and they increase their business with us year after year.
This means for us and for our customers to grant professionalism and quality of our production.
We produce a complete range of products including clutch covers, gearbox casings, engine covers, carburetors, intake tubes and many others for different industries such as the one for the motorcycles and the motors.
These parts require a high quality level, mainly concerning the dimensional tolerances and the alloy treatments, to avoid difficulties in the machining and possible leakages.
Periodically we carry out destructive (hardness, liquid penetration, exhausting and maximum stress, tightness, and so on) and non-destructive tests (radiography and dimensional checks with continuous 3D-scan equipments).
