The challenge
Develop and optimize the printing processes already existing at MCG with a view to producing a set to integrate the platform of a large volume model: a Reinforcement – “C” Pillar.
Integration of production processes with other technologies, namely advanced welding and bonding cells.
MCG know-how
Technical requirement
For the stamping of all the parts that make up this component, 13 different tools are used, part of which were developed and produced internally by MCG. The batch includes 6,500 mm transfer tools.
3,300-ton press
The high volume of production required and the characteristics of the stamped components require the use of a 3,300-ton press, one of the company’s bulkiest and most efficient equipment. MCG owns one of the two existing presses of this kind in the Iberian Peninsula.
Process optimization
The large volume stamping processes are optimized through the FEM (Finite Element Method), a numerical method for solving engineering problems, and integrated with the remaining production processes of the joint component.
High production volume
The production of parts involved in this project allows the assembly of 800 cars per day, which is equivalent to 65 hours of press operation by specialized technical employees.
