Even in the construction of a mould you can benefit of methods and processes normally adopted in mass production.
This is feasible only in particular situations, but in such cases the advantages are really considerable. Tecnopantografatura has worked in accordance with this approach since a long time. The company operates in Chiari within the Brescia province (Italy).
All moulds built by Tecnopantografatura have pre-established size. They are usually built independently from orders and are stored in the warehouse.
As a consequence, the timely availability of artifacts allows to reduce the global time needed to provide a mould.
Order work plans are managed by computer.
The decision to start actions devoted to ISO 9002 certification has been taken in order to set up the further rationalisation of the whole company (set of activities).
To build a simple shape button two electrodes are usually needed.
Also the heat treatment is fully executed within the company.
The starting point for a button mould is sometimes a sample given by the customer, but more often is a sketch or a drawing that is rebuilt in Tecnopantografatura with the support of a Computervision Personal Designer two-dimensional CAD system.
The Pear milling centres constitute the natural evolution for the pantograph.
Software programs allow to control the presence of the tool, to measure the usury and eventually to stop the processing. A personal computer supports the usage of the interactive programming language directly aside the machine.
A software installed on the personal computer, is devoted to both engraving and milling. You have the availability of more than 700 characters and a large series of graphic tools to produce distortions and special effects.
A very powerful graphic system allows also the aided programming of complex profiles on the level surface and their rough-shaping and/or co-turning.
The evolution of Tecnopantografatura is surely empowered by the computer-driven monitoring of the whole production process, by a clear relationship with the customers, by continuous investments and by the availability of carefully selected working tools.
