The finishing of metal casts has always been an awkward phase for foundries, trend is to minimize investment in the finishing department and concentrating economic efforts on production. So the finishing department becomes the bottleneck of the whole production flow.Every time a customer contacts me it is because he has decided to change the situation in which he finds himself, or because he is no longer competitive in the supply of a certain product, or because he is being asked for a quality he cannot guarantee.Reasons why you are no longer competitive may be:- The customer challenges your pieces because they doesn’t meet the finishing specifications and sends it back to you. This results in unforeseen additional costs.- You struggle to respect the cycle time by manually performing grinding or cutting operations; human during the day gets tired. This ruins your weekly production plans.- In the finishing department, you always have a few workers on sick leave, as this is particularly hard work. So you cannot plan your shifts in a stable way.- You would like to know your finishing costs, knowing how much you are going to spend on electricity, consumables and human resources, but you cannot do that because all your costs are variable!If these problems are not solved, the result is often the loss of the order because you are not able to meet the demands of your customer without losing money. All foundries sooner or later find themselves in situations similar to the one described above. Some, however, solve this problem in time by investing in automated cutting and deburring processes.Automation makes it possible to:- Standardise product quality- Create jobs with high added value- Reduce the amount of hard work that causes occupational illnesses- Have predictable and constant costs throughout the yearWe at TREBI have been building robotic finishing cells since 1995. By fully controlling production, we are able to constantly improve the performance of our machines, guaranteeing results for life and finding solutions to new customer problems.My job is to create a stable link between customer and company. Thanks to the technical skills I have acquired working in the Technical Department, I will help you find the best technical and commercial solution to definitively solve the finishing problems you are facing.Contact me on Linkedin to have the opportunity to describe your problem and to know what I can do to help you.
