Mechanical Operations Consultancy
Technical consultancy for mechanical operations: machining plant set-up, machine and cutting tool selection.
What do we do in mechanical operations consultancy?
First of all, mechanical operations, in other words machining, add value to the profile. However, productivity does not depend on the number of machines alone. For example, the cutting tool, the fixture and the program time also affect the result. Therefore, Aluminum Doctor supports you through the whole process, from plant set-up to solving technical problems.
Mechanical operations plant set-up and machine selection
First, we define the products you will machine and your target capacity. Then we specify the machine type, the cutting tools and the clamping systems accordingly. In addition, we prepare the layout plan to match the material flow. As a result, you can base your investment decisions on numbers.
Mechanical operations productivity and quality
In existing plants, we first measure cycle times and the reasons for downtime. After all, you cannot improve a process that you do not measure. In particular, the choice of cutting tool and machine is one of the factors that affect product quality most. For this reason, we also examine tool life and set-up times. Finally, we report the improvement with measurable values.
Do you have questions about mechanical operations?
List of frequently asked questions to help you understand how the mechanical processes facility works.
What are the benefits of using aluminum in mechanical parts and the automobile industry?
- The widespread use of aluminum, thanks to its low specific gravity and high strength, can result in a weight reduction of approximately 300 kg in a mid-class car. This ratio corresponds to 30% of the total weight of the vehicle. (Fuel saving)
- 95% of the aluminum used in the automotive industry is collected and recycled. The scrap value of these materials is over 50% of their normal values. (Cost savings)
- Aluminum material is resistant to corrosion from water and road salts, even if it is unpainted or uncoated.
- Galvanizing, coating or painting may not be necessary for aluminum, which is necessary for steel on non-visual parts and incurs additional cost.
- Aluminum is resistant to corrosion and rust like steel in case the paint is scratched or removed.
- Like some plastic materials, it does not become brittle as a result of desert heat, northern cold or UV rays.
Why is the aluminum surface brushed in mechanical operations?
- Eliminating extrusion lines.
- Reducing mold cooling marks.
- Reducing weight loss in caustic etching.
- To obtain a more homogeneous surface appearance.
What does the humidity rate of polyamide heat barriers depend on in mechanical assembly?
Since polyamide material is moisture-retaining in terms of structure, it absorbs the moisture in its environment. If the amount of humidity in the body is more than 2%, the assembly will be adversely affected. In addition, as the moisture evaporates during paint curing, bubbles occur on the paint layer on the wick. The main reasons for this problem are as follows, so check them before mechanical assembly.
- Relative humidity in the environment
- Ambient temperature
- Waiting time in the environment
- Thickness of the roving (profile)
