Process Engineering

We support you in projects related to improvement of production processes. Our focus is on light metal casting and subsequent processes.

Optimization of production processes and production equipment | Increasing output, improvement of product quality, reduction of scrap rates, improvement of process repeatability, reduction of production costs, the increase of plant OEE and related topics.

Casting suited component design | We support your component development by early reviews of the component geometry with consideration of casting suitability, such as:

Temperature field analysisDetermine the casting position (position of the component in the mold)Development of the casting system (mold filling and feeding)Casting suitable optimization of the component geometry by carrying out mold filling and solidification simulationReporting

Developing casting processes | We plan your casting process, beginning by checking the geometry of the component up to supporting your production staff during implementation and ramp up.

Temperature field analysisDetermine the casting position (position of the component in the mold)Development of the casting system (mold filling and feeding)Conceptual design of the mold and consulting the mold manufacturer under consideration of casting suitable designSupporting your production staff during ramp up

Casting defect trouble-shooting | We analyze casting processes and casting defects with special tools and high grade expertise to define adequate countermeasures. PE effectively manages this topic by running own casting simulation software. It allows us to perform in house temperature field, mold filling and solidification analysis.
